Kendrick Lamar took home some big wins at the Grammys over the weekend, but unfortunately for the Compton rapper, not everyone thinks they were deserved. During a recent broadcast of 103.5 The Beat Miami radio show, Trick Daddy shared his thoughts on "Not Like Us" being named Song Of The Year. According to him, Kendrick Lamar and Drake's rivalry is overhyped, and the music industry should move away from beef altogether.
“What I don’t agree with last night is why they gave Kendrick Lamar the song of the year,” he began. “BET would never give that award up [...] And what I was saying to clarify everything was I don’t think that Kendrick Lamar song was the song of the year.” Trick Daddy continued, claiming that when it comes to Drake and Kendrick, there's no competition because they have so little in common. "Kendrick Lamar could never stand next to Drake Everybody knows that,” he added.
Trick Daddy Weighs In On Drake & Kendrick Lamar's Beef
He concluded by offering young artists some words of advice. “Do your thing. Let’s try to stay away from the beef,” he stated. While Trick Daddy doesn't agree with all of the Recording Academy's choices, he was sure to congratulate Beyonce on winning Album Of The Year with her country LP, Cowboy Carter. “Congratulations to the Queen Bey,” he said. “And I’m not talking about no Lil Kim, I’m talking about Beyoncé. Y’all know Beyoncé is the Queen B.” He then proceeded to call Beyonce “the baddest performer ever to hit the stage."
This isn't the first unpopular opinion Trick Daddy has shared recently, as last month, he defended various artists who took part in Donald Trump's inaugural festivities. His take was that business is business, and he would do it to for a $1.5M check. "I wish they gave me $1.5 million," he declared. "It’s not nothing personal when it’s your business. If my worst enemy booked me to do a concert, I’m going to do that concert. If he booked me in a territory where I was beefing … I’m going to do that concert.”
