50 Cent, ever the timely commentator, has promptly weighed in on Kendrick Lamar’s
back-to-back hits against Drake.

In the rare event that you’re just now hearing about the events of Friday morning,
here’s the short of it: Kendrick, after teasing that he was going to do so in his
“Euphoria” diss earlier this week, waited exactly three days to come at Drake again
with the early morning arrival of “6:16 in LA.” As expected, there’s been a lot to
unpack in the hours since the song popped up on IG.

“Oh shit it’s lit Kendrick went again,” 50 said when briefly sharing his thoughts on
Friday. “I heard [Drake] got a

waiting.”

As for when that potential bomb might drop, the general consensus among fans is
that it’s unlikely Drake will keep the people waiting. As of press time, however, the 6
God had not addressed the timestamp series-subverting diss extender from
Kendrick.

Prior to “6:16 in LA,” the immediate post-“Euphoria” landscape had everyone in
debate mode over who was in the victor position. Joe Budden, for example, gave the
honor to Kendrick, albeit with the caveat that he still has love for Drake and will
“love him more if he do what he needs to do.” Cam’ron and Mase, meanwhile, both
agreed on a recent episode of It Is What It Is that Drake was “winning” so far.

As for 50, he’s been quite the fan of Drake’s diss moves in this beef. In April, the G-
Unit Film & TV founder, speaking from a position of “professional expert opinion on
this matter,” told everyone to “leave this man alone” after Drizzy’s (ultimately
removed) “Taylor Made Freestyle” diss, which controversially employed A.I. methods
to emulate the voices of Snoop Dogg and the late 2Pac. 50 was also fond of the
previously released “Push Ups.”
