AI Creator Exposes Truth Behind Kendrick Lamar’s Explosive Drake & J. Cole Diss Track

Kendrick Lamar’s alleged diss response to Drake and J. Cole has been confirmed as a fake after a man revealed he used artificial intelligence to make it. An up-and-coming artist by the name of Sy The Rapper unveiled on Tuesday (April 16) that he was the person behind the counterfeit track and elucidated how he constructed it.

In a video shared on Instagram, Sy walked viewers through the creation process, disclosing how he fashioned the beat and rapped lyrics in the style of Kendrick before inputting the recording through an AI program. He expressed his surprise at how genuine the song sounded: “I ain’t gonna lie, I psyched myself. I thought it was gonna sound fake, I thought people was gonna be able to tell it was fake. People think it’s actually real.”

Moreover, Sy stated: “I just wanna come out for the record and say that it’s AI. That’s not Kendrick’s response. I know Kendrick’s gonna come harder than that. I just couldn’t get too disrespectful ‘cause I ain’t in that beef.” Watch the clip here: Clip link.

The track, titled “One Shot,” surfaced online earlier this week and was met with skepticism by most fans who believed it to be fake. The song contained lyrics such as: “I dominated your favorite rapper you idolize/ My silence is enough to make n-ggas apologize” and “Now that it’s direct, it’s leaked disses from burner pages and all/ Insecure behavior from n-ggas y’all call Gods.”

Producer DJ Dahi, who has collaborated with Kendrick extensively over the years, was among those who questioned its authenticity. He wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Man we live in a weird time, AI diss tracks!! we need Google authentications to make sure all this shit is real or not lol.” In a related news piece, Drake taunted Kendrick Lamar over his silence on the diss track with a photo of his manager: Drake taunts Kendrick Lamar.

However, a member of Drake’s team insisted it was real, with OVO Hush stating on social media: “When you find out this is real don’t forget how trash it was as an A.I. [shrug emoji].” The 6 God seemed to brush off the alleged diss track by responding with a crying face emoji on Hush’s post. Drake too has faced AI fakes in his ongoing feud with Kendrick. Another supposed diss track from Drizzy called “Hi Whitney” – a reference to Kendrick’s wife – arose earlier this week but was later verified by Drake himself to be fake.

Akademiks mentioned on his Rumble livestream: “He hit me. I guess when I was playing that ‘Hi Whitney’ shit, he said that’s AI. He said 100 percent AI, so I’m gonna take his word. But I ain’t gonna lie to you, that shit is slick.”
