BenDaDonnn is shutting down speculation that a recent post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, was in reference to Kendrick Lamar.

The comedian posted the message below earlier today, leading some to wonder if he was talking about the simmering feud between Kendrick and Drake, whom he has collaborated with in the past.

Others dismissed that theory, pointing out that BenDaDonnn was simply posting a line from "85 Cutlass" by Rylo Rodriguez.

"Bumpinn Rylo last night got me cooked," BenDaDonnn wrote in response to the reaction over the post, accompanied by what can only be described as an aggressive amount of crying laughing emojis.

BenDaDonnn continued to address the misinterpretation with additional proof, which involved a screenshot of the song with the time stamp and lyrics.

Drake most notably appeared in a skit where the rapper crashed BenDaDonnn's dates.
