He gave him props, and then he said he was the best. There was no comparative with Kendrick.
You guys are intentionally trying to reframe this song into a diss.
And to take it a step further, Cole and Drake have been the only two out of the big 3 that have actually been active these last few years. Kendrick has been mostly absent outside Big Steppers and Keem's project, so why would they even mention Kendrick? Kendrick isn't outside doing features and dropping projects.
Kendrick separated himself from the three, and now you guys think its a diss when hes not mentioned more than once on a song that doesnt even include him? On a song that showed him some love, at that.
