50 Cent recently shared his thoughts on the hypothetical pressures Kendrick Lamar might face during an appearance on the FLAGRANT podcast with Andrew Schulz and Aakash Singh. Speaking on the dynamic between Drake and Lamar, the rapper suggested that if Drake were to take a break from music, Lamar would have to carry the weight of hip-hop culture. “If someone like Drake says, ‘I’m gone,’ the world would look to Kendrick to keep it alive,” 50 Cent remarked in a clip circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter.
50 Cent highlighted how the hip-hop industry often relies on dominant figures to sustain its cultural momentum. While acknowledging Drake’s immense success, he implied that such a scenario would amplify Lamar’s role in the genre. “They’ll feel it,” 50 Cent said, emphasizing the potential burden such a shift could bring.
The conversation also turned to Andrew Schulz’s controversial comments about Kendrick Lamar, which 50 Cent addressed directly. Defending Lamar, 50 Cent critiqued Schulz’s remarks from a previous podcast episode, making it clear that he views such comments as unnecessary. While the exchange prompted laughs during the episode, it also underscored the intense scrutiny placed on hip-hop’s biggest stars.
These comments echo 50 Cent’s recent remarks on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, where he expressed strong support for Drake. Referring to the rapper’s continued dominance, 50 Cent noted how Drake’s rivals “keep watching him win,” further fueling debates about competition in the music industry.
50 Cent’s statements have sparked discussions about the pressures of leadership in hip-hop and the dynamics between its most influential figures, keeping the Drake-Kendrick rivalry at the forefront of cultural conversations.
