Kendrick Lamar Opts for Luka Doncic References Over Drake Disses in Playboi Carti Feature

The West Coast rapper offers a notable appearance on “Good Credit,” a track from Carti’s ‘I Am Music’ album.


It seems as if Kendrick Lamar has moved past dissing Drake — at least on Playboi Carti’s new album, I Am Music.

On the recently released project, Lamar appears on three different tracks: “Mojo Jojo,” “Backd00r” and “Good Credit.”

And while there were rumors that the West Coast rapper would be dissing Drake on the album, that doesn’t appear to be the case, with the GNX artist not mentioning the Toronto rapper at all.

Instead, he opts for references to Luka Doncic and A$AP Relli on “Good Credit.”

In regard to the former, he raps, “The numbers says nothing, the money is nothing, I really been held my promise / Say Kenny been heavy out West and I carry the weight, I'm Luka Doncic.”

As for the latter, he raps, “Eliantte go big, white-gold link fall on the belly / The emerald cut for hers and his, that b**ch on point like A$AP Relli.”

Lamar isn’t the only notable feature on Carti’s I Am Music, with the album boasting appearances from Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Future, Skepta and more.

Lamar has had an incredible start to his 2025. He won some of the top prizes at this year’s Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Music Video.

He also performed at this year’s Super Bowl, serving as the halftime performer for the annual football event.
