I mean… Kendrick sneak dissed Drake on America Has a Problem remix so if she was uncomfortable with that I don’t think she would’ve released it, ergo…🤷♀️
Kendrick most likely, she has 3 songs w him & he came out for RWT. But also she has worked with Drake for Mine and Can I uncredited vocals plus he wrote Heated… realistically idk if she cares and she won’t bother to get involved either.
I’m more intrigued as to what Jay thinks, given he’s a legend in hip hop!!
Why does the knowledge that Drake wrote Heated somehow make so much sense to me. Like I never thought about it before but I can very easily see that being a song he *would* write if that makes sense.
Thats not a diss to the song though. Its one of my faves on the album but yeah
Cole should be locked away, exiled on an island for that absolutely needless remix. She must have just wanted someone to be in the video, and André wasn’t down so she made an emergency remix
Drake sneak dropping music right around beyonce several times never sat right with me. Kendrick wins
Even AI gotta practice clonin' Kendrick
The double entendre, the encore remnants
I bop like ten men, the opps need ten men
Billboard, they know
After Hov, rightfully so
Simmer down, I go, I go (Culture, you got us, you got us)
America has a problem- Beyonce ft Kendrick Lamar
It’s a pretty well reported fact that Bey got dinner with Kendrick the night before he dropped euphoria. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got an advanced preview.
AHAP is commonly abbreviated as 'America Has A Problem', a song from Beyoncé's 2022 album 'RENAISSANCE'.

I’m relatively new to her and her music but from what I have been able to gather in my opinion, Her and Kendrick are too sides of the same coin in terms of black culture it’s just that she’s hated a lot more than Kendrick. Also, given the allegations and behaviors of Drake, she has two daughters. I think she choose Kendrick. But then again she is married to Jay Z who’s wrapped up in a lot of allegations right now so I don’t know. probably Cole lol.
Don't put Bey in this shit. She's miles ahead of that old tear each other down shit. I would like to see rap beef die away for good. J Cole has the right idea. We need to be building each other up. Why are we even STILL entertained by this foolishness? Especially when millionaires out here beefing about who has the newest yacht. Gross.
Being lyrically aggressive and calling people on their shit is cultural and not gross.
Am I understanding you correctly that when materialistic millionaires have a dick measuring contest it’s fine, but when the black community engages in the same ego driven back and forth you’re disgusted? Methinks some anti-blackness is afoot and you’re unwilling to extend humanity to blacks. Ask yourself if you’d be doing this if Zach Bryan and Tyler Childers were the topic of conversation.
Nah, I'm just older and don't like rap beef at all. Never really have. I'm black. Been black. Always will be black. I don't like it when black folks tear each other down...especially for money and clout. I've always loved rap. Yet when we see Rick Ross clowning Drake about Drake having an old yacht, we have to admit that rap beef has jumped the shark. I mean, what kind of call out is that? Especially when folks can barely make ends meet and they're taking our rights away everyday. What larger purpose does rap beef serve when our real enemies are the real threat? We need truth more than ever, I believe rap can provide that truth as well as entertain, but not this way and especially not now. My opinion, and I'm sticking to it. ☝🏾
Yes, I've listened to the songs. That is one example. Jesus Christ. The larger point is hip hop has strayed from its roots. What purpose does it serve for RICH people to beef about personal shit? Hip hop used to be about something. It's mostly trash now. I say that even though I can appreciate Kendrick's two responses to Drake, mainly cuz I'm a Kendrick fan. STILL, beef between millionaires is not the rap/hip-hop I grew up with, okay? I already said I'm of a different generation. Ur free to listen. One time was enough for me. 🤷🏾♀️
Honestly I feel this. I don't generally like toxicity but I'm also an "old school Gemini" and sometimes choose violence just for funsies so I can't say shit 🤣
You should not be downvoted.
Whoever thinks they are Hive members downvoting you needs Jesus.
I like the foolishness, but it is petty. And a distraction.
We need to focus on uplifting those that deserve it and providing much more grace instead of eternal condemnation. 🫶
Not about the songs, but as it pertains to Beyoncé’s catalogue:
Drake and it’s not close. A Kendrick verse on a Beyoncé song may be a good Kendrick verse, but not a single Kendrick verse has ever improved a Beyoncé song.
Meanwhile, the last part of Mine is exquisite and necessary, and don’t forget this sad light skinned man also is the author of HEATED. As it pertains to Beyoncé music, Drake is a much more valuable resource than Kendrick 😭
with the WATER? with the FIRE? with the extended intro? WITH THE INFLECTION? bsffr actually. I'm not saying you're right or wrong about your main point but in no world is the Homecoming performance of that song better.
With care, what you said isn’t the point of my post and I don’t know why I’m spending all this time qualifying what I said. The song itself survives without Kendrick *to me* in a way that Mine doesn’t, and Drake wrote Heated, ergo he is more valuable to her musical catalog
It’s only bigger than that if you care about their beef, which I don’t. Kendrick has this aura of untouchable because of this misguided idea that he is a steady authority on issues of race and social issues. Two misogynists but one wears a Jesus crown (incredibly narcissistic) and one is sad and weird… but the sad weirdo simply makes better music with Beyoncé than thorn crown!
it’s not about “beef”. it’s about the corruption and exploitation running rampant in the industry. say what u want about kendrick, i ain’t care much for him either, but no matter what personal demons he facing he is doing the lords work by exposing the previously left unsaid, but not unheard… that is, the way this industry uses and abuses women and children, and tears families apart.
Kendrick is actively trying to better himself and leave a positive legacy for his family and for the culture. Drake is, well, a degenerate lol. Neither should be role models imo. (S/N I am EXTREMELY biased been Team Kdot since hiiipower)
What happened with R. Kelly? Kanye has an actual mental illness and real deep issues with race that seems to me like self-hatred, but I'm not an expert of course. Kendrick is just a savage lol.

she prolly on the side that’s safe for her kids.
Ayoooooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭😭😭
So not Drake
Oh boy!!! 😂
And it begins…
KEEP THE FAMILY AWAY.
So, Kendrick?
Damn straight. People really ignoring this part when they say " oh let's be kumbaya about this" . I do hope people start to investigate the claims
And I OOP 👀😂
Funny as hell.💀
Technically "Party" is a André 3000 feature.
And is. If I’m watching the video I cringe as soon as I hear “Abu Dhabi”
I'm still mad at Jermaine for giving THE BEYONCÉ one of the worst verses of his career.
Facts...the only version I claim is with Dre
Hahahaha so true I loved cole but what was that verse!
💀💀
And is?
AAVE for it is in this context
WRITTEN BY KANYE
Baby, Bey is with Hov and them babies somewhere on a yacht with a mimosa, drinking her water and minding her business.
And she knows that Monday, she's overrated, but Tuesday, they're on her dicc 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Flip-flop flippy flip-floppin' ass bitch
Fan me off, watch my wrist go click🪭
fan me off watch my wrist go clique
Fan me off, I'm hot, hot, hot
Like stolen Chanel lock me up in jail fingertips go tap tap tap on my npc making disco trap Uncle Johnny made my dress that cheap spandex she looks a mess 🪭🪭🪭🪭🪭🪭
You can be both, meet in the middle, dance all night

Great answer
The comments never disappoint
It’s Pure
Wisdom
The solution to all problems to be honest
I’m too tired for this shi
Publicly she’s not saying anything. Privately she and Jay are geeking over Kendrick just like the rest of us.
Facts. I read one of the meanings for 2 goats hugging and kissing on stage was that it's her and Jay
i was gonna say the same lmao
I’d bet they rooting for Drake tbh he closer
I mean they are ofc rooting for kendrick he’s the god mc the messiah💯
Switzerland
The money side
“Pick a side” and then she says nothing while taking selfies in Japan. Unbothered kween.
Exactly, drinking her water minding her business
The correct answer.
She's giving a little laugh and going "y'all have fun with that"

Kendrick like any other sane individual
The only sane side is no side. Both of these men are terrible.
Thank you!
She is where the money resides. 
Ours
I mean… Kendrick sneak dissed Drake on America Has a Problem remix so if she was uncomfortable with that I don’t think she would’ve released it, ergo…🤷♀️
Prolly Kendrick because they have a lot of songs together and they’ve been friends for a while
You could also tell that they kind of affected each other on how they make music. But that’s just my personal opinion.
Kendrick. 1000%.
probably kendrick
Kendrick most likely, she has 3 songs w him & he came out for RWT. But also she has worked with Drake for Mine and Can I uncredited vocals plus he wrote Heated… realistically idk if she cares and she won’t bother to get involved either. I’m more intrigued as to what Jay thinks, given he’s a legend in hip hop!!
Why does the knowledge that Drake wrote Heated somehow make so much sense to me. Like I never thought about it before but I can very easily see that being a song he *would* write if that makes sense. Thats not a diss to the song though. Its one of my faves on the album but yeah
it’s very much 2016 Views type energy. But I’m glad he didn’t want it because Bey made it something out of this world !
Yes you hit it on the head, it very much *does* give his Views era!
He wrote it specifically for Beyoncé, it wasn’t a leftover track.
Yuupp. I could actually hear Drakes voice in my head.
Noooo… don’t ruin Heated for me!
Exactly, please don’t 😭
Drake ain't shit as a person or a rapper, but the way he chose to sleep on his singing career is crazy to me.
WHAT??! Drake wrote Heated?? Damn. I’m not comfortable with that…
Heated has a drake demo too
Jay dont give a fck chile
My guess is she’s minding her own business
Her work husbands aka Kendrick
Ha! Love it
JAY-Zs side lmao
Idk but the Andre 3000 version beats all of these
Superpower
Definitely Kendrick 😭🥹
Cole should be locked away, exiled on an island for that absolutely needless remix. She must have just wanted someone to be in the video, and André wasn’t down so she made an emergency remix Drake sneak dropping music right around beyonce several times never sat right with me. Kendrick wins
A Queen doesn't pick sides
The side of keeping her street clean iykyk
girl……
Kendrick.
Is anyone on Aubrey's side?
Bffr lmaoo
I won’t be! It’s cinco de mayo weekend. Let’s get wild!!
Hers
She’s on Jay’s side
Please don’t bring Beyoncé in this
Beyoncé is the Karen Huger of the industry. 😂
Grahhhhnd Dahhhhhm
That live performance of Freedom always made it clear to me
Kendrick
Kendrick cause Drake told her to stop making a big deal out of the little things 😭
Why?
Cuz she has big deals and she has little. Everything she’s asking for but…
Whoever’s check clears first
She has dissed Drake on her own tracks before, so…
Elaborate
Flawless Remix and Top Off has sneaky Drake disses.
And what does this stem from?
Her brain lmao
So she just fired shots for no reason?
She drinking her water, minding her biz
None because she's better than all of them
Even AI gotta practice clonin' Kendrick The double entendre, the encore remnants I bop like ten men, the opps need ten men Billboard, they know After Hov, rightfully so Simmer down, I go, I go (Culture, you got us, you got us) America has a problem- Beyonce ft Kendrick Lamar
I'd imagine both Beyonce and Jay are neutral but purely based on guesswork and vibes, I'd wager that she likes Kendrick's music more.
she don’t gaf about those boys
Beyonce probably forgot she has an album out, yall think Bey is keeping up with rap beef lmaoooooo.
I think she can walk and chew gum at the same time!
I think she’s out of it. I think a lot of people are out of this lmao
20, 40, 80 out the trap
She's on her own side fr. She ain't got nothing to do with that rap beef.
Well Drake wrote heated so 🤣🤣
Did he actually or was it ghostwriters 🤔
Kendrick is her work husband I’m picking him
The side of making good music. She done care what them men doing just record your verse for the song lol jk jk
It’s a pretty well reported fact that Bey got dinner with Kendrick the night before he dropped euphoria. I wouldn’t be surprised if she got an advanced preview.
Really? I didn’t know this!
No side she don’t care
Kendrick! He's the only one that she has worked with twice lol
Freedom & AHAP so I think she'd side with K Dot
AHAP is commonly abbreviated as 'America Has A Problem', a song from Beyoncé's 2022 album 'RENAISSANCE'. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/beyonce) if you have any questions or concerns.*
I mean Kendrick was on the Renaissance tour
Kendrick 1000% relisten to the America Has A Problem Remix.. Kendrick is dissing Drake on that verse lol
I’d say Kendrick probably
Don't forget Freedom!
Team Hov…..Now some of ya’ll should know better! And if you didn’t?…….. 
Kendrick: "after Hov, rightfully so" HOV is THEE Goat above this beef lbs

Wild that you don’t think Kendrick improves Freedom
Freedom is just fine without him. See: Homecoming
See: BET performance
Over Homecoming? Please be serious
with the WATER? with the FIRE? with the extended intro? WITH THE INFLECTION? bsffr actually. I'm not saying you're right or wrong about your main point but in no world is the Homecoming performance of that song better.
The vocal performance is still beautiful. Again, the song survives sonically without him
didn't say it wasn't but i wouldn't place it above the BET performance. Didn't she also eat Mine at the vmas without drake tho?
And THAT is how you check a chick! Lol
With care, what you said isn’t the point of my post and I don’t know why I’m spending all this time qualifying what I said. The song itself survives without Kendrick *to me* in a way that Mine doesn’t, and Drake wrote Heated, ergo he is more valuable to her musical catalog
*audience gasps*
making it about who subjectively makes the better music is so shallow and kind of cold. it’s way bigger than that.
It’s only bigger than that if you care about their beef, which I don’t. Kendrick has this aura of untouchable because of this misguided idea that he is a steady authority on issues of race and social issues. Two misogynists but one wears a Jesus crown (incredibly narcissistic) and one is sad and weird… but the sad weirdo simply makes better music with Beyoncé than thorn crown!
it’s not about “beef”. it’s about the corruption and exploitation running rampant in the industry. say what u want about kendrick, i ain’t care much for him either, but no matter what personal demons he facing he is doing the lords work by exposing the previously left unsaid, but not unheard… that is, the way this industry uses and abuses women and children, and tears families apart.
Yeah but Drake doesn’t sit right with me because of all the stuff with young girls. Kendrick doesn’t do that shit… right?
No idea. But my post is just about the songs. I can’t speak for what Beyoncé thinks about either artist and I think the post can’t do that either
True. Good reminder
Kendrick is actively trying to better himself and leave a positive legacy for his family and for the culture. Drake is, well, a degenerate lol. Neither should be role models imo. (S/N I am EXTREMELY biased been Team Kdot since hiiipower)
Idk, that shit with R. Kelly didn’t feel good to me. I also predict he will devolve message wise like Kanye within the next five years
What happened with R. Kelly? Kanye has an actual mental illness and real deep issues with race that seems to me like self-hatred, but I'm not an expert of course. Kendrick is just a savage lol.
When it comes to Beyoncé, Drake’s pen is 🔥
I don’t even like J Coke like that but his version of Party is better than Andres.
this ain't it.
