Hip-hop artist Kid Cudi recently stated on X that he wrote his entire discography himself, prompting a barrage of responses referencing the feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

The “Mr. Rager” rapper wrote, “It’s a powerful feeling knowing I wrote the lyrics on all 12 of my albums.”

One user commented, “Is Cudi taking shots at Drake,” referencing Kendrick Lamar’s accusations that Drake uses ghostwriters and AI for his lyrics. In his recent track, “euphoria,” Lamar raps, “Am I battlin’ ghost or AI.”

Cudi responded to the comment, denying any references to Drake, “Man me speakin my truth is not me dissing anyone. Its my truth, Its a fact. This came up cuz someone was talkin like yachty wrote my verse on superboy. Just wanted to address it and make it 100% clear.”

On Kid Cudi’s latest album, “INSANO,” A$AP Rocky also reportedly throws shade at Drake on Kid Cudi's latest album. Their collaborative track, “WOW,” released in January, appears to be Rocky's response to Drake's perceived disses on his October album, “For All the Dogs,” which included lyrics hinting at lingering feelings for Rihanna, Rocky's girlfriend.
