Baka Not Nice addressed Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,””weird case” lyric revealing he acted on Drake’s advice amid the backlash.
The Toronto rapper, a longtime friend and collaborator of Drake, reacted to Lamar’s call out during a recent appearance on the “Hot Freestyle” podcast. Baka labeled the accusation “ludicrous” and revealed that Drake personally urged him to stay calm.
He responded to Kendrick Lamar’s lyric from “Not Like Us” — “Baka got a weird case, why is he around?” — which referenced Baka’s 2014 legal troubles and became an online meme.
“My first initial thing was to respond and respond quickly, very efficiently and very to the point,” Baka said during the interview.
“Because where I come from, that doesn’t happen. You can’t just call out a man and not have paperwork to back up your talks. That is ludicrous,” he continued. “Then to see, like a whole nation behind it and celebrating, like it’s a true story is unbelievable… I have a kid. Drake has a kid, you know what I mean. So making accusations like that are ridiculous and out of this world.”
Baka admitted he was overwhelmed with anger until Drake stepped in with a call that helped him cool off.
“He’s like, ‘Yo, I know what you’re feeling. I know you as an individual and I know how you get down, but I’m just letting you know, don’t listen to the noise cuz it’s noise. If you go back and look at all these people that are saying things or having anything to say, they’re not even actual real people. They’re like bots. So don’t let that bother you, bro.'”
