Kendrick Lamar is will probably get a lot of on wax responses for his verse on Big Sean's "Control" where he tells various rappers by name that he will murder them on a record and is the king of New York and the West Coast.
Meek Mill has responded in an interview with CBS Philadelphia.
“Kendrick Lamar, I don’t think he was trying to insult any of us, you know. We all know each other personally," Meek said. “There were a lot of names that weren’t mentioned. I like those type of games. I definitely don’t think it was an insult. It was a competition thing. A competitive type thing. I live for competition. Everyone who knows me knows I don’t want to lose in a game of nothing. I don’t want to lose in a game of tic-tac-toe. I’m not going to make a diss record for Kendrick Lamar. But if he wants to get competitive, we’re going to have some fun.”

Back in May a rift developed between longtime friends and business partners Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka.
As we reported at the time, Gucci announced that Waka had been dropped from his 1017 Brick Squad label. Guwop said he was ready to field offers for his services.
Today, Gucci again offered to sell Waka's rights via his Twitter account, but this time he put a price tag on it.
Waka Flocka still has his own record company, Brick Squad Monopoly, with signed artists. However, as of now it doesn't look like he'll ever rep 1017 again.
