You did X Y Z. What are we supposed to do?"

Ebro also highlighted the support he has received during the feud, noting that Kendrick Lamar has been the only artist backing both his show and himself. This stands in contrast to others who have not shown similar support.

While continuing to praise Drake for his hit-making ability, Ebro stood firm on his critiques amid the competitive nature of the feud. He acknowledged, "Drake makes hits. It's a battle. He'll be fine. [...] Then he didn't want to let it end."
