After a month of intense mic-drop moments between rhyme masters Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the hip-hop scene has cooled down, though the heated debate over who claimed the crown continues. Unlike typical rap battles, the lingering embers remain ready to reignite at any moment. While the luminaries have taken a break from direct disses, the record industry elite is still feeling the aftershocks as loyalists choose sides. Amidst this fervor, Fivio Foreign has entered the fray, sharing his opinion on who had the last laugh. 

While Camila Cabello may have sided with Drake, Foreign's stance might clarify whose scale tips are heavier.

When Drake and Kendrick Lamar squared off to settle the debate over who rules hip-hop, global anticipation was inevitable. As the showdown intensified, even bystanders found themselves drawn into the fray. Camila Cabello faced the wrath of the Kendrick Lamar fan club for her stance, while Fivio Foreign recently weighed in on Fight Hype, albeit cautiously, holding the crown to Lamar’s name. 

Foreign's entry into the debate was marked by hesitation and a veiled jab when he hinted at events involving someone from Canada. Despite his ambiguity, he eventually called it a draw, though his mention of Lamar's name when discussing the victor did not go unnoticed. Although Foreign concluded with a diplomatic call of a tie, his mention of Lamar underscored his nuanced take on the ongoing feud.

As Fivio Foreign's understated support for Lamar earns him credibility within the hip-hop community, he joins Too Short as the second figure from that sphere to adopt a diplomatic position recently.

Too Short, a veteran in the rap world, has witnessed numerous feuds over his career and remains seasoned in their dynamics. However, when prompted to pick a winner in the Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud, Too Short opted for a balanced perspective rather than a definitive verdict. Speaking to Billboard at the 2024 BET Awards on June 30th, Short acknowledged Lamar's strong performance, noting that the clash involved two of contemporary music's greatest talents.

Short noted that initially, Lamar seemed to be positioned as the "underdog", but he impressed by holding his own and garnering significant support. While praising Drake's musical versatility, Short emphasized the enduring significance of both artists to hip-hop culture. He expressed a readiness to retire "gangsta Drake," while highlighting the enduring appeal of Drake's R&B and “Drake for the ladies”. In essence, Short's remarks subtly hint at deeper complexities beyond the surface, suggesting that the feud holds more nuanced dimensions than initially apparent.
