Nah homie, Drake is the first person to bring the topic up in this battle. You only throw that out there first if you’re afraid it’s going to be brought up.
Or you know it's gonna be brought up so you bring it up ahead of time to try to take the sail outta the wings. You call it being afraid, others would call it smart. Especially since it's something he already referenced before. And then following it up with "this a gift from me" and I heard it on the "Budden podcast so it has to be true" feels like mocking him saying you really don't have shyt, and if that was it, then we've already addressed it.
If he was afraid, why he even bring it up again? And reference it so straightforward in a diss to bring even more attention to it?
You calling chess players scary for being able to predict their opponents move and act accordingly?
“Letting everybody drop disses before he does”
If he had dropped in the last week or so he would be sharing air time with Drake, Ross, Quavo and a bunch of non descript weirdos. He wants his moment to work to his benefit.
That sounds like more of a sound strategy than A.I. verses and shooting your self in the foot by being the first person to bring up grooming allegations.
The logic for Drake being nervous about what Kendrick is going to say next is evidenced by his words and actions. Much less open to interpretation than silence.
Now that seems to validate what people have been saying about him doing this shyt for promo. Drake released Taylor Made the same day Taylor Swift dropped. If Kendrick dropped, it would have completely overshadowed Ross and Quavo/Chris.
It's only a sound strategy if your goal was to bring attention to something you're selling and not actually beef with him.
Rumor is he's dropping in what a month or so? Let's say he doesn't and doesn't respond until 4/5 years later for his next album - that would be a win in your eyes?
"You tryna let this shyt die down. Nah nah nah, nikka, this time you're following through" doesn't sound like a nervous thing to say on any planet. If anything, he's simply tryna rush him and not because he's nervous - he's acting like he has something for him.
