Ferg believes that ASAP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar's issues with Drake stem from growth, evolution, and a natural desire to stand on their own as superstars.
Rocky and Kendrick are nearly fifteen years removed from being supporting acts on Drake's 2012 Club Paradise Tour, which followed the release of the smash, Take Care. Since then, Rocky and K. Dot have had public fallouts with Drizzy on wax, and during a new interview on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, Ferg explained why he believes the rappers are no longer cool with Drizzy.
Around the 9:40 mark of the podcast, posted on Wednesday (Nov. 19), Bootleg Kev noted that “everyone who was on that [Club Paradise Tour] together is now at odds with each other.”
"I feel like that's kind of natural though because even when you think about the family dynamic and like little brother-big brother things, you know, a lot of the times a little brother want to grow up and prove himself and don't want to be under the wing of the of the big brother," the Darold artist explained.
"So that happens a lot, like, people grow into individuals and a lot of the times where we start is not who we really are. We still growing into the person we are, right?" Ferg continued.
The Harlem native added that all three of them have evolved significantly since opening for Drake over a decade ago.
"We were still learning ourselves during that time. So when you grow, you can't expect for the relationship to be the same," he concluded.
Rocky has since established himself as a designer and actor, while Kendrick has become one of the most decorated rappers of his generation with 22 Grammys. Last year, Kendrick and Drake traded multiple diss tracks, and Rocky also took a jab at the OVO Sound founder on the Metro Boomin-produced "Feel The Fiyaaaah."
Drake, for his part, has taken specific issue with Kendrick’s biggest hit from their exchange, “Not Like Us,” and is currently suing Universal Music Group for defamation regarding lyrics alleging pedophilia.
