Chris Brown is not here for his baby mama Nia Guzman’s stunts! He says he just wants to be a father to his child while he feels like she is using their daughter as a meal ticket. Brown feels that Guzman is using baby Royalty as leverage. If this is the case, it’s unfortunate, but how can one sympathize with Brown when all of this could’ve been avoided. How could Chris not think about this before choosing to sleep with anyone. There have also been reports that Brown still wants to establish paternity. Oh Breezy.

Kendrick is featured on “Darkside/Gone” and “Deep Water” off Compton. “Darkside/Gone” includes the TDE representative mentioning enemies giving him energy. On his song “Energy,” Drake raps “I got enemies, got a lot of enemies. Got a lot of people tryna drain me of my energy.”

You scared of my heist now. But still I got enemies giving me energy. I wanna fight now. Subliminals sending me all of this hate. I thought I was holding the mic down.

– Kendrick, “Darkside/Gone”

On “Deep Water,” Kendrick can be heard saying, “They nominated six to carry him… the beef is on his breath.” Drake refers to himself as the “6 God.”

Once upon a time I shot a n*gga on accident. I tried to kill him, but I guess I needed more practice then. That’s when I realized banging wasn’t for everybody. Switch it up before my enemy or the sheriff got me.

They liable to bury him. They nominated six to carry him. They worry him to death but he no vegetarian. The beef is on his breath inheriting the drama better than a Great White. N*gga, this is life in my aquarium.

– Kendrick, “Deep Water”

Both Kendrick and Drake have been suspected of sending subliminal shots at each other over the past two years. The verbal jousting began after K. Dot challenged his peers on Big Sean’s “Control.” The below-the-radar battle supposedly continued on with Drake’s lines from “Sh!t (Remix)” and “Used To” as well as Kendrick’s contribution to “Pay For It.”

The conversation did include Ab telling DJ Vlad he felt it may be too late for Meek to respond to Drake again.

Ab had an appearance on The Brilliant Idiots podcast where he talked about building his career at the same time as Meek. He told hosts Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz he supported Meek’s rise but admits there were issues with other people suggesting Meek was sneak dissing him at times. But those problems were apparently settled.

Ab also revealed he has never met Drake. However, the “Murderer” rhymer was on video saying Philadelphia would roll out the red carpet for the OVO leader.
