Did 21 Savage Diss Kendrick Lamar on Lil Baby's "WHAM!" album?

Hip-Hop is full of competition, and fans love to dig for hidden messages in their favorite artists' lyrics. The latest buzz is about 21 Savage’s verse on Lil Baby’s new album WHAM!, released January 3, 2025. On the song “Outfit,” fans think 21 might be throwing shade at Kendrick Lamar.

In the song, 21 raps:
"Brought Drac' with me and it know kung fu
If I hit him in the jaw, then he gon' sue."

The word “kung fu” caught listeners’ attention because Kendrick is often called “Kung Fu Kenny.” Some fans think this could be a diss, especially since Kendrick has been making bold moves with his recent album GNX, claiming his spot as a leader in Hip-Hop.

This isn’t the first time fans have thought 21 was calling out Kendrick. Last year, his verse on Drake’s track “It’s Up” sparked similar rumors, but his manager denied it, saying, “That would make no sense.”

Whether it’s a diss or just clever lyrics, the buzz shows how much fans love a good mystery. What do you think? Is 21 taking shots at Kendrick, or is it all in fun? Stay tuned to MicHustlin for more Hip-Hop news and theories!
