Addressing the mention, YNW Melly expressed a mix of emotions in a statement to TMZ. Despite being a fan of Kendrick Lamar, Melly admitted feeling both honored and dismayed by the reference. He lamented being recognized for negative reasons, stating, "I'm a household name—just for the wrong shit!!!"
This isn't the first time YNW Melly found himself entangled in rap beef. Previously, he mistakenly believed he was targeted in Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Like That." In a social media post, he voiced his surprise and urged Kendrick to acknowledge his music.
Kendrick Lamar's verse in "Euphoria" was prompted by criticism from hip-hop legend Melle Mel, who questioned Lamar's ranking on Billboard's 50 Greatest Rappers of All-Time list. Melle Mel suggested that Lamar's music lacked street appeal, sparking a lyrical response from the Compton rapper.
The ongoing exchange highlights the intersection of rap rivalries and real-life legal issues within the hip-hop community. As the conversation continues to unfold, fans await further developments and potential responses from both YNW Melly and Kendrick Lamar.
