A Lot Of Heat Going On Between Drake And Kendrick Lamar! A$AP Rocky Reveals Which Side He’s on.
During his headlining performance at Rolling Loud California on March 15, A$AP Rocky teased some unreleased music and made headlines with one bold statement about his position in the ongoing feud between rap heavyweights Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The Harlem rapper used the stage to clarify his stance, rapping, “I ain’t on J. Cole, I ain’t on Drake, I ain’t on Kendrick side / I choose homicide, they gonna see a different side.”
Rocky’s Bold Stance
A$AP decision to declare that he isn’t taking sides in the Drake and Kendrick beef is a clear message to the audience and the hip-hop world alike. His lyrics seem to reflect that he’s not about to pick a side, even though the ongoing tensions between the two rap giants have been bubbling up for years.
Rocky’s response comes at a time when it seemed like he might have been aligning with some of Drake’s rivals. In 2024, Rocky had been linked to some diss tracks aimed at Drake. On Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You track “Show of Hands,” Rocky seemed to take subtle shots at Drake. He also made an appearance on J. Cole’s “Ruby Rosary” in September, further fueling rumors that he was distancing himself from Drake.

Drake’s Diss Track
Drake, never one to shy away from drama, addressed Rocky directly during his feud with Kendrick Lamar in May 2024. The diss came in the form of the three-part “Family Matters” track, which had some pretty scathing lines aimed at Rocky. Drake rapped: “Rakim talkin’ s–t again / Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first, n—a, do the math, who I was hittin’ then.”
For those who may not know, Drake is referring to rumored past relationship with Sophie Brussaux, Drake’s baby mother. With lines like these, it’s clear that Rocky’s relationship with Drake is far from friendly. However, Rocky made it clear during his Rolling Loud performance that he’s taking a different approach and won’t be sucked into the feud.

A Show-Stealing Performance
Despite the tension surrounding his lyrics, Rolling Loud set was a massive hit. To kick things off, he rappelled from a helicopter onto the stage, making a dramatic entrance that set the tone for an unforgettable night. He also dedicated his performance to those affected by the Los Angeles wildfires and U.S. immigration laws, emphasizing his support for affected communities.
“I see unity. I see so many types of people. I see so many different colors,” Rocky said during his set. “I would like to dedicate this show to anybody that was affected by those fires. To anybody that was affected by the immigration laws. My heart goes out to you.”
This moment of solidarity and support for important causes further cemented Rocky’s ability to connect with his fans on a deeper level.

New Music and Future Plans
As he rocked the stage, Rocky gave the audience a taste of what’s to come, previewing new unreleased tracks. Fans were excited, especially with the much-anticipated Don’t Be Dumb project on the horizon. However, there’s still no confirmed release date for the album, so fans will need to keep waiting for more details.
While Rihanna, his partner, watched from the crowd, the anticipation for Rocky’s upcoming music only grew. This performance marked his first festival set since being acquitted of felony charges in February related to a shooting case involving his former associate, A$AP Relli.

What’s Next for Rocky?
Though no specific release dates were announced during his performance, the crowd was buzzing with excitement about what’s next for A$AP Rocky. The release of Don’t Be Dumb is highly anticipated as a follow-up to his Testing album, and fans are eager to see what direction his music will take next.
With his bold stance on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud, and the hype surrounding his unreleased tracks, A$AP Rocky’s performance at Rolling Loud California proved to be more than just a concert — it was a statement.
As we wait for more details about his next album and possible future releases, A$AP Rocky continues to keep the music world guessing.
