So, the official word is in. 21 Savage did not diss Kendrick Lamar on "It's Up."
That was confirmed by 21's manager Justin "Meezy" Williams, who texted DJ Akademiks.
The song is one of the new cuts Drake released on Tuesday as part of his 100 GB of unreleased content.
Here's the line that was in question:
"No rap cap come out my mouth / Made a couple songs, think he hot now / Hit his ass up, he think he Pac now."

Besides texting with Williams, Ak also spoke to 21's handlers.
"I talked to 21's people," he said. "21 is not dissing Kendrick, okay? That is not at Kendrick Lamar at all."
Ak then read Williams' message aloud.
"He said, 'That is definitely no shot at Kendrick,'" Ak read. "He literally said, 'That sh*t would make no sense 'cause Kendrick got more than one hit or whatever.'"
Who do you think Savage is dissing?
