Rick Ross recently took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar’s impactful verse in the track “Like That.”
Lamar’s verse, which notably targeted J. Cole and Drake, has sparked speculation and conversation within the hip-hop community.
In a video posted on Wednesday night, Ross can be seen enjoying “Everyday Hustle,” a track from Metro Boomin and Future’s latest project.
However, it was Kendrick Lamar’s verse in “Like That” that seemed to catch Ross’s attention. The 48-year-old rapper can be seen nodding along to Lamar’s bars, signaling his admiration for the lyrical content.
Lamar’s verse, which includes lines such as “motherfuck the Big 3, n***a, it’s just big me” and “get up with me, fuck sneak dissing/’First Person Shooter,’ I hope they came with three switches,” has prompted intense analysis and interpretation from fans and critics alike.

The speculation surrounding Lamar’s verse comes amidst ongoing discussions about potential rifts within the hip-hop community, particularly involving Drake.
Ross and Drake, who have collaborated numerous times over the years, have recently been the subject of scrutiny, with rumors circulating about potential tensions between them.
Recent events, including Drake’s invitation to Cristina Mackey, who recently split with Ross, to one of his concerts, have only added fuel to the speculation.
Additionally, reports of Ross and Toronto’s Nav unfollowing Drake on Instagram have further fueled rumors of discord.
In response to Lamar’s verse and the broader speculation surrounding Drake, rapper Joe Budden commended Future for addressing what he called “monetized friendships” in his music, using Ross as an example. Budden praised Future for his willingness to confront issues that others may shy away from.
Ross’s recent comments in November, where he expressed fondness for Drake and assured Meek Mill that their past beef with Drake would blow over, offer a glimpse into the complex dynamics at play within the hip-hop industry.
