Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s rap beef is nothing but chaos. The two artists went on at each other, dropping diss tracks and targeting each other viciously by entering their personal lives. Their feud was considered to be one of the biggest music wars in recent memory, and resulted in a number of diss tracks.

However, when Lamar dropped Not Like Us, it became an instant hit as his track became a chart-topper, featuring sharp lyrics that ripped apart the public image of the God’s Plan singer. Hence, music lovers considered the Pray for Me singer to be the winner of the vendetta.

Keke Palmer found Lamar’s rap criticizing the Passionfruit singer to be impressive, but she wonders why he keeps calling his rival “69 God.”

Keke Palmer Has a Question For Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar went all out in his recent diss track, Not Like Us. To make the whole conflict more intense, he performed it live five times, where the rapper’s outfit matched Drake in one of his old music videos, and the crowd was passionately singing the lyrics.

The lyrics were unhinged, calling Drake a “certified p*dophile,” and a “colonizer,” while he claimed that he likes to hit chords that are “A-minor.” Keke Palmer recently took it to her social media, stating how modern rappers do “street cleverly” in their work.

However, Lamar repeatedly calls Drake a “69 God” in the track. This got her curious, as she shared her opinion on what the Like That rapper might have meant in his track.

She said,

I have a question, okay? Because I know the rap kids do, they do a lot of street cleverly in lines, especially somebody like Kendrick. But I’m really curious of what’s so bad about being a 69 God. I guess what I’m saying is as far as I knew, 69 was something that just made you a reciprocal, right? So if you’re a 69 God, you know, what’s so bad about that? Must be missing something, let’s see, booh.

The rapper has not opened up about the meaning behind the lines that have insulted the One Dance singer.

However, it can be assumed that the lines might be an insincere compliment, as may hint at the efforts that he assumedly puts in for his partners with respect to his intimate life.

Fans React to Keke Palmer’s Question on Social Media

The Nope actress’ question has assembled rap fans on social media. The comment section is divided into two parts: first, where fans are coming up with their unique theories and ideas about what it means to be a 69 God.

On the other hand, some fans are dropping hilarious comments that would leave you laughing. They commented,

It has many meanings in this case. 69 God is a call back to the guy calling himself the 6 God, we then see Kendrick troll him by comparing him to that other rapper with 69 in his name whom had a case that is a call back to the whole “ a minorrrrr “ line in the song. The 69 is also taking the 6 reversing it to 9, which poses the question of what’s the opposite of a “ 6 God “…… and when you understand the answer… you get why you must run for your life..Kendrick is clever in the way he purposely buries the truth even in the same bar or line where he mentions these things. Double and tripple meanings to most of his raps.

Its completely different it means to he likes to 69 with 6 to 9 year olds from 6:00 to 9:00. I think.

Think he means 69 Gawd with MEN, my good sis!!! even tho there’s nothing wrong with that either BUTTTTTTT…. You know these men nowadays.

A 69 God is great except for when it’s with a minoooooooooor.

I was afraid to ask this publicly, but I’m just as lost on that one.

Even though fans are coming up with their own creative ideas and assumptions, they might not be true. It looks like the world has to wait until the rapper himself addresses the world about the intended meaning behind the lyrics.
