Despite attempts by some publications to distort the narrative, we have proven them wrong. This in itself is a triumph. Additionally, it’s time to finalize the TDE 20th-anniversary compilation.” Fans reacted to Top Dawg’s tweet, with some suggesting that Kendrick’s silence could be seen as a win for Drake.

In the track, Drake acknowledges the back-and-forth as beneficial exercise and questions Kendrick’s authenticity. Despite this, Drake hints at a desire for Kendrick to respond with factual content, emphasizing the importance of truth in their lyrical exchanges.
