The rap feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake has permeated all walks of life.
Even Naomi Osaka was asked to weigh in following her victory over Clara Burel at the Italian Open on Wednesday. Osaka established she is a "pacifist" and "neutral party" in the beef before ultimately siding with Kendrick.
"Kendrick dropped some heat, that last song," the four-time Grand Slam title champion said of "Not Like Us." "That last song is amazing and I played it walking onto the court."
When asked if Kendrick should drop another song, Osaka responded, "Yeah. Sorry."
"Technically, Kendrick dropped that song, then Drake dropped 'The Heart Part 6,' so technically Kendrick could drop another two if he wanted to," the 26-year-old explained.
Osaka later brought up a similar talking point that was mentioned in "The Heart Part 6" in which Drake reflected on the feud and how Kendrick's fans "are getting some raps out of you," adding that he's "happy I could motivate you."
"Me being a Kendrick fan, I haven't gotten this many Kendrick songs in a very long time," Osaka said. "So, you know, if he wants to keep dropping."
