Rick Ross Compares Kendrick Lamar To Andre 3000 Amid Drake Feud
Rick Ross says that Kendrick Lamar's "Meet The Grahams" is the closest fans will ever get to hearing Andre 3000 in a rap battle. He reacted to the diss track with immense praise in a video on social media after the song's release on Friday night. Ross has also been feuding with Drake in recent weeks.
"If you really into this music sh*t, what I'm listening to right now, what Kendrick just released," he began. "If you was a real Outkast fan and you ever wanted to know what 3000 would be like if he ever was in a battle, n***a, this is the closest you will ever get to Andre 3000."

On the track, Kendrick raps directly to four of Drake's family members while accusing him of being into underage girls, having a secret daughter, and more. Speaking to the rapper's mother, Lamar rhymes: "Your son got some habits, I hope you don't undermine them / Especially with all the girls that's hurt inside this climate / You a woman, so you know how it feels to be in alignment / With emotion, hopin' a man can see you and not be blinded." Less than 24 hours after the release, Lamar fired back at Drake with yet another diss track, this time titled: "Not Like Us." On that song, he labels Drake a "pedophile."
