The 'In My Feelings' rapper appears to stay unbothered by the diss track aimed at him but he may have offered a clue on how this latest hip-hop feud is going to play out.

AceShowbiz - In the wake of Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Like That" on Future and Metro Boomin's album "WE DON'T TRUST YOU", Drake and J. Cole have remained silent. But Drake has hinted at being unbothered by posting a photo on Instagram quoting NAV's song "Turks" with the caption, "I ain't picking up I'm in Turks lil baby."
In an interesting twist, internet sleuths have noted that NAV has unfollowed Drake on Instagram, potentially due to NAV's loyalty to Metro Boomin.
Meanwhile, DJ Akademiks has analyzed the situation, speculating that Drake may be preparing a response based on footage of him using his phone at a club. Akademiks also suggests that Kendrick Lamar may have more ammunition in reserve if Drake or J. Cole respond.
Hip-hop experts believe that Drake's beef with Pusha T provides a precedent for how this conflict may play out. Drake typically responds to diss tracks with a direct response followed by a clapback.
Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar's diss track on "Like That" has been praised for its high-quality production and lyrical prowess. The beat samples Three 6 Mafia's "Who the Crunkest," Eazy-E's "Eazy Duz It," and "Ridin Spinners."
Another theory suggests that "Like That" could be a trap, with Kendrick Lamar waiting for Drake or J. Cole to respond before releasing more damaging information.
While the beef between Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar continues to dominate headlines, experts caution against losing sight of Future and Metro Boomin's excellent album "WE DON'T TRUST YOU." The album features some of Future's most depraved lyrics and Metro Boomin's exceptional beats.
The conflict has also raised questions about Future and Drake's relationship, which has had its moments of tension over the years. Future publicly criticized Drake for not doing a video for his song "Tony Montana" in 2011, and Drake allegedly booted Future from his tour in 2013.
