During a recent appearance on the Flow podcast, Drake’s frequent collaborator Gordo looked back on the Toronto hitmaker’s beef with Kendrick Lamar.

According to him, it wasn’t easy to see the public fall for false narratives about his longtime friend amid the feud. Nowadays, however, he thinks it may have actually paid off.

“Artistically, with all the music that he’s making, they just woke up a f*cking beast that they haven’t seen in a long time,” he claimed. “That makes me happy. The circumstance of it, the situation of it, and all the things that he had to go through was a bit sh*tty, obviously.”

Gordo then noted how Drake dropped one of his biggest songs in a long time following the beef, “NOKIA,” and went on a successful tour alongside PartyNextDoor.

It looks like Drake could have more successes on the way, too. He’s currently gearing up to drop his highly anticipated ninth studio album, ICEMAN, which he’s been teasing for months.
