BTS’ RM becomes the “peacemaker” in the “Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar” rap beef

BTS’ RM has a solution to the rap fight between Hollywood superstars Drake and Kendrick Lamar. A surprising peace offer from the Indigo singer comes in a rap world where diss tracks erupt like volcano eruptions and lyrical jabs hurt like stings.

Here’s what occurred in case you didn’t know. Rap culture saw a power change in late 2023. Drake, a Canadian superstar, worked with American rapper J. Cole on the song “First Person Shooter,” which established them as the current rap powerhouse with Kendrick Lamar (also known as Dot). However, Dot was not convinced. He responded with a surprise jab at Future and Metro Boomin’s collaboration, “Like That.” In this song, he went loose on J. Cole and even made subtle references to his own and Drake’s previous words, adding fuel to the already raging fire in the rap industry.

On April 13, after months of building tension, Drake responded to the rap feud. Drake is believed to have responded with a song called “Push Ups” that DJ Akademiks dropped. In the song, Drake takes a jab at Kendrick’s physical stature, mentions his wife in a way that some Kendrick fans defended and claims that other rappers today have more influence in the music industry.

RM, known as the powerhouse of BTS’s rap line, has joined the conversation. The K-pop group’s leader, who is presently an active soldier in the South Korean military, stunned fans by posting a song suggestion on social media. Among his latest recommendations was Kendrick Lamar’s 2012 hit “Poetic Justice,” which features Drake. ARMYs couldn’t help but see this as RM’s humorous attempt to play peacemaker. It appears that RM, a musical powerhouse himself, merely wants his rap idols to bury the past.
