Hip-Hop Community Responds to K-Dot’s “Euphoria” Diss
Several rappers and hip-hop artists have offered their thoughts on the new diss.
Metro Boomin, who has his own issues with Drake, posted several crying laughing emojis on X, formerly known as Twitter, which can be see below. He also posted a GIF of a drummer doing a rim shot, a slick reference to Drake telling him to shut up and make some drums on “Push Ups.”
K-Dot’s former TDE labelmate Jay Rock proclaimed Drake got cooked.
“N***a got fried like a nice golden brown wing lol,” Rock tweeted. “Dropped that n***a in that grease for 6 mins 40 something secs!! Fried em.”
“Why yall mad at me it ain’t my fault my n***a cook some chicken this morning lol!!” he added in a later post.
One person who was thoroughly unimpressed was rapper-turned-podcaster Gillie Da Kid.
“I just heard that Kendrick Lamar diss. I f**k with Kendrick, but that s**t was corn on the cob, man,” he said in an Instagram video below. “You know what’s crazy, the light-skin n***as is winning 3-0, man. Drake up 2-0. Chris Brown up 1-0.”
On the latest episode of the It Is What It Is podcast, Cam’ron and Ma$e opined that round 1 of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle has gone to Drake after hearing “Euphoria.”
“Drake is definitely winning from an MC standpoint,” Murda said on the show. “It took a while to get the record from Kendrick. And when you wait a while, it gotta be out of this world…If it was immediate, it would have been crazy.”
“I think Drake is winning. ‘Euphoria’ didn’t really move me,” Cam’ron agreed.
