While the entertainer agreed with Kendrick Lamar opening with "Bad Blood," he is satisfied with whatever K.Dot decides. "That would be slammin' but whatever Kendrick Lamar do, I'm riding with him, that's my guy."

Jack Antonoff is credited for producing "Euphoria," another Drake diss track by Kendrick Lamar. "Not Like Us," sweept the Grammys last weekend with Lamar winning five awards and marking the first diss track to do so.
