Kendrick Lamar vs Big Sean: Is Kendrick Lamar's 'Humble' Firing Shots at Big Sean?
Speculations about Kendrick Lamar firing shots at Big Sean in his new "The Heart Part 4" single have been swirling around online. Before Lamar's new release, Sean was also rumored to have made subliminal jabs at Kendrick in his single, "No More Interviews."
The lyrics of the Compton rapper's new single suggest that he is going in on a fellow artist, albeit unnamed. The lyrics say, "My fans can't wait for me to son ya punk ass/ And crush ya whole lil' sh*t/ I'll Big Pun ya punk ass, you a scared lil' b***h."
Fans of the rapper believing that Lamar is referring to Big Sean in his song is not impossible, considering that Big Sean was previously accused of targeting Lamar in "No More Interviews." Although there is no concrete evidence to prove that Big Sean was Lamar's target, the latter's new single, "Humble," has reinforced the theory all the more.

The chorus of "Humble" repeatedly mentions Big Sean's popular "lil' b***h" ad lib. The same phrase was featured in the second verse of "The Heart Part 4." Aside from that, the opening verse of Lamar's new single features the lines, "My left stroke just went viral/ Right stroke put lil' baby in a spiral." Since people speculate that "left stroke" refers to "The Heart Part 4," and the "right stroke" refers to "Humble," rumor has it that Lamar is actually referring to the same rapper in both singles.
Some also speculate that Lamar is targeting Big Sean's collaboration with Jhene Aiko, Twenty88, in his song. According to netizens, the line "If I kill a ni**a, it won't be the alcohol, I'm the realest ni**a after all" makes it clear that the rapper is calling out Twenty88, since Sean's Aiko-assisted single "I Know" includes the line, "Blame it on the alcohol or blame it on sativa."
Lamar's "Humble" music video was released on March 30, while the full album containing his controversial tracks are set for release on April 7.
