What really got his followers talking was that it was just a photo of a pair of old black sneakers, raising the heat to find out the hidden meaning of the song.
The song’s fire-spitting, plain lyrics, released through Lamar who has feuded openly with Drake in the past only fueled immediate speculation as to the underlying message. Many listeners heard here the possible continuation of the long-standing feud between two rap titans. There are lines, like “Just walked that man down, that’ll do everyone a solid,” and “It’s love, but tough love sometimes gotta result in violence,” which initiated such thoughts, although Lamar himself did not confirm or deny them.
Lamar and Drake exchanged diss tracks and subtleties in a rivalry that has lasted for years within the hip-hop world.

The fans are now delving through the lyrics of the new track to see if Lamar’s words are targeted at Drake, therefore reigniting the rivalry.
The Lamar-Drake rivalry is, without a doubt, one of the most debated and articulated diss tracks in their quest to outdo each other.
