“During a period of tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, the latter expressed discomfort with the biracial Canadian’s use of the n-word. Azealia Banks, known for her provocative online presence, raises questions about Kendrick’s stance on the issue, particularly in relation to a Hispanic rapper.
Sidebar tho…. deadasss…. where was Kendrick when there was a gay Mexican in a rainbow lacefront running around saying nigga?? Lmao. Do Kendrick know he doesn't have a "oh you fancy huh," nor a "passionfruit," or anything but small sneaker rage to give us LOL.

In a recent post, Banks humorously ponders Kendrick’s absence during a previous controversy involving a Hispanic rapper using the n-word. She also suggests a potential homoerotic subtext to the Drake-Kendrick beef, sparking speculation about the underlying dynamics of their conflict.
The inquiry invites reflection on the complexities of language, identity, and interpersonal dynamics within the hip-hop community.
What do you think lies behind the surface of these tensions?”
