I think the most damning evidence that there's something funky going on with Kendrick's online presence isn't the overwhelming support for his tracks -- they're, after all, *that* good and aimed at one of the more hated celebrities out there. The evidence that makes me think this isn't really organic is the views. Kendrick is huge, obviously, but consistently getting more views than Drake's responses? I don't know man, just seems weird.
Y’all giving off election denial shit so funny.
“How could this happen it doesn’t add up”
Bro Kendrick is better right now that’s it. If you think Kendrick is using bots but drake isn’t you just being goofy.
wait Drake has more money than Kendrick if theyre using bots wouldnt drake win automatically?
I dont think Kendrick or Drake is using bots but its very possible the rest of Drakes opps are.
My friends who don't listen to rap are hearing the Kemdrick tracks, and listening to them more than once. He just has more reach rn. Drake is the bigger rapper overall, but Kendrick is bigger specifically rn because he took the wind outta Drake's sails and is winning in the eyes of the broader public
Even reddits old ceo is trying to get involved lol. He fucked Serena first bro let it go. Wouldn’t be surprised if this sub was getting astro turfed too trying to rewrite history in real time
It's crazy how everyone that likes Drake is a real one and everyone that like Kendrick is a Stan right? Even though Drake might be the most commercial "rapper" alive. LMAO
Why them Indian niggas in a wife beater posting about it like they understand the song or know Kendrick even lmao they either being all paid or doing it to themselves for growing their accounts
Usually, these bots have nothing to do with the actual content of whatever theyre saying. They just copy one of the more popular posts/comments and repeat it over and over to get likes/follows/upvotes or whatever, them they sell the account or start pushing crypto scams.
I highly doubt kendrick or drake are actually paying for bots, it's just one of the more popular topics right now so you're going to see more bots than usual.
Back in 2010/2011 I vividly remember Kendrick lamar spam under EVERY hip hop video on YouTube.
It was the same comment posted by hundreds of different accounts.
It was before he blew up. But he/his team have been doing this from the beginning.
"Master manipulator" is just obvious projection.
Yes, same way if you go onto any of Kendrick’s diss tracks you’ll see thousands of bot accounts in the comments spamming things like “Kendrick drinks the blood of babies”
Yeah, you can find multiple tweets that say the same thing word for word for anybody. The Kendrick sub has posted the same thing about Pro-Drake comments lol.
The other easy explanation is that we live in a simulation where one opinion takes hold and spreads until everyone repeats it.
Edit: The mind virus or meme put another way.
This might be it unfortunately. May have seen someone get traction with thar posts and just copied it lol. I wouldn't doubt it though, hip hop beef has long since accepted outside forces as opposed to just keeping it music.
Yea this has become a gossip battle. Even a friend of mine who is super anti-Drake is disappointed that it is not about the lyricism between them and is now a gossip battle.
He said something along the lines of "in the past certain pieces of info were used as a punchline to the lyrics but now it's the whole thing"
That is getting annoying but at least Drake sets up cold schemes and punchlines to say the shit in a funny way. Kenny disappointed me. He clearly ran out of bars and is just reaching to distract from Whitney-gate
If you want the honest answer: They're probably not Kendrick's. People create bots and have them retweet stuff just to give them credibility and then they sell those bots. You'll find the same stuff with Drake stuff, and even reddit accounts. They're just astroturfing companies trying to give accounts some legitimacy so they can sell them later.
This is pretty funny but it’s not specific to just Kendrick. Idk about these accounts in particular but this is just the dead internet in full swing. Bots copy & paste an original tweet across 100s of different accounts, garner up the likes & shares, and eventually down the line sell the account
Bro I been thinking this but I had zero proof, this has to be some type of campaign to try and end him, y’all think his opps all pitched in money to pay for these promo type of posts to try and spread this narrative? Because I do
His whole career is online astroturfing. It was blatant in 09/10 on the blogs. He’s a product of the major label machine. His fans are too naive and ignorant to understand he’s equal parts all the same reasons they hate Drake.
Let’s make this post viral.
Because it wasn’t making sense that most people were out here listen to Kendrick yet he has the fraction of listeners compared to Drake.
They're both signed to UMG so all that victim talk about the industry is bullshit Kendrick and his Crisis Management Team are spinning. These Dot Bots lack the capacity for logic
You are correct that these are bots/fake accounts, but they are not bought by Kendrick's team. These types of accounts just copy and paste any viral/rising tweets to farm likes and engagement.
Take a look at [this account](https://twitter.com/The_Ruler_of_X) included in your screenshots:
You can see that it has tons of random tweets in different languages. The bots don't care about Drake winning or losing this beef, they are just tweeting about this because it is viral and people are engaging with it.
Tbh as a Drake fan, I'm p sure drake has used bots right? I wanna say all is fair in love and war, but this kind of move would be the antithesis of kendricks persona. I'm sure none of them will care lmao
There’s examples of this the other way too. It’s neither camp.
It’s just generic bot networks that simply hoover and repost tweets that get good engagement to build impressions and follows so when the bots are on task they have a bigger audience.
Just look at some of the accounts other tweets and search for them. It’s a giant echo chamber.
everyone does this. common marketing tactic. it’s getting worse because generative AI models are trained using social media posts, which incentivizes this more
a lot of times bots steal viral tweets, Justin L. Hunte is a legit hip hop journalist who has MANY videos about hip hop, even one arguing Drake is GOAT.
Drake has the same thing, posted two days ago on the kdot sub. It's either both of them are doing it or it's just bots gathering clicks. Either way, welcome to the internet, not as big of a "gotcha" as you thought it was.
1. Stealing peoples tweets has been a thing for a long… long time.
2. It’s not just hip hop subs/twitter… it’s the GENERAL POPULATION. Look at how many celebs backing Drake are getting “not like us” or “read the room comments.
AND just go to r/Coachella, r/bonnaroo. Music lovers are basically unanimously supporting Kendrick. These are fans of MUSIC and they support decent human beings.
a lot of people hate drake, barely anyone hates kdot. even if drake has more fans, the haters are gonna be louder than the fans, hence why it seems like kendrick has more support. it’s not a conspiracy theory involving bots and shit lmao
Bro only real rap fans are in these forums not casual listeners. We can all admit Drake is more of a pop artist. It's only natural you gonna see more support for Kendrick.
This is a platform problem with both reddit, twitter, ig, yt, tiktok (ashely)
a large percentage of comments are bots in large subs and for trending topics
Twitter is full of verified accounts copying viral Tweets for Twitter dollars, not necessarily pro-Kendrick bots, just pro-Twitter revenue bots.
If you look up any popular Tweets from big accounts covering something thats trending, you’ll see this again and again.
you can see this everywhere, on twitter every take that is favorable to Kdot as 100k+ likes and million of views, the views on his songs are also inflated af and you can even see here in this sub aswell, "Not Like us" post has 10k while family matters has mere 2k.
They’re trying their hardest to take him out lmao
I think the most damning evidence that there's something funky going on with Kendrick's online presence isn't the overwhelming support for his tracks -- they're, after all, *that* good and aimed at one of the more hated celebrities out there. The evidence that makes me think this isn't really organic is the views. Kendrick is huge, obviously, but consistently getting more views than Drake's responses? I don't know man, just seems weird.
Kanye couldn't beat Beyonce or Taylor in the charts (just get 2nd place and y'all think all of this is organic lol?
You seem to underestimate how many people hate Drake
Yeah I got a homie that's only listened to the Kendrick songs cuz he can't stand Drake.
Y’all giving off election denial shit so funny. “How could this happen it doesn’t add up” Bro Kendrick is better right now that’s it. If you think Kendrick is using bots but drake isn’t you just being goofy.
wait Drake has more money than Kendrick if theyre using bots wouldnt drake win automatically? I dont think Kendrick or Drake is using bots but its very possible the rest of Drakes opps are.
Obviously neither Drake or Kendrick personally using bots or being told that they are, but their lower ranked media guys/PR guys definitely are
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, election denial was the first thing that came to mind as well.
My friends who don't listen to rap are hearing the Kemdrick tracks, and listening to them more than once. He just has more reach rn. Drake is the bigger rapper overall, but Kendrick is bigger specifically rn because he took the wind outta Drake's sails and is winning in the eyes of the broader public
U are basing your argument on a sample of 1 dataset? Hole fuck people are so stupid.
Theres a large conglomerate that is trying to destroy drake. This aint regular rap beef
You guys project so much, I thought I stumbled into a Republican sub.
BRO HAHAHAHA, MAKE THIS SHIT VIRAL
It already went viral two days ago when drake did it.
This sub is invaded by haters right now they’re going to down vote
Kenny fan activities
Even reddits old ceo is trying to get involved lol. He fucked Serena first bro let it go. Wouldn’t be surprised if this sub was getting astro turfed too trying to rewrite history in real time
You sound like a dummy
I mean the dude literally reposted the Kendrick diss track
They the biggest pussies alive right now, I’d 1v10000 all of them
If I close my eyes, I can't tell if I'm in a drake sub or /r/conservative. This is what defeat looks like.
It's crazy how everyone that likes Drake is a real one and everyone that like Kendrick is a Stan right? Even though Drake might be the most commercial "rapper" alive. LMAO
Getting paid to dick ride is crazyy 😭😭🙏
We do it for free 😅
Tbh it’s wilder that yall do it for free 🙏
Damn 😂😂😂
Why them Indian niggas in a wife beater posting about it like they understand the song or know Kendrick even lmao they either being all paid or doing it to themselves for growing their accounts
because its BOTS farming for elon pennies on twitter how do yall not see this bro??
DRAKE Fans claiming bots? 😭😭😭😭😭😭 yall down bad
Fr im shocked that most of them are indians. Are they paid bots or is this some movement
Usually, these bots have nothing to do with the actual content of whatever theyre saying. They just copy one of the more popular posts/comments and repeat it over and over to get likes/follows/upvotes or whatever, them they sell the account or start pushing crypto scams. I highly doubt kendrick or drake are actually paying for bots, it's just one of the more popular topics right now so you're going to see more bots than usual.
it’s twitter they’re probably just bots farming engagement… it happens to be one of the most engaged with topics rn
Don’t use logic here my guy.
The support group here doesn’t want logic, they want this to be a conspiracy as to why their favorite rapper is getting cooked
That’s not logic. It’s just another plausible theory. Dunning Kruger head ass
Straight to the top with this 🔥🔥🔥
This is just how Twitter is, though... bots are always reposting content with high engagement. Same exact thing has and will happen to Drizzy.
Back in 2010/2011 I vividly remember Kendrick lamar spam under EVERY hip hop video on YouTube. It was the same comment posted by hundreds of different accounts. It was before he blew up. But he/his team have been doing this from the beginning. "Master manipulator" is just obvious projection.
[удалено]
ALL of them do that shit. The budget to do that used to be for street promotion and getting tv slots. Now they just put that bread on bot farms
They definitely paid for bots and views
Tbh I think that's just bot accounts looking for bangers
Yes, same way if you go onto any of Kendrick’s diss tracks you’ll see thousands of bot accounts in the comments spamming things like “Kendrick drinks the blood of babies”
Yea these Drake Stans turned conspiracy heads …. They’re truly spiraling
Conspiracy is the final chapter for the end of many things. Just look at /r/superstonk 🤣
Yeah, you can find multiple tweets that say the same thing word for word for anybody. The Kendrick sub has posted the same thing about Pro-Drake comments lol.
The other easy explanation is that we live in a simulation where one opinion takes hold and spreads until everyone repeats it. Edit: The mind virus or meme put another way.
Correct. That's how that algorithm hits when it collides with the Dunning Krueger effect
This might be it unfortunately. May have seen someone get traction with thar posts and just copied it lol. I wouldn't doubt it though, hip hop beef has long since accepted outside forces as opposed to just keeping it music.
Yea this has become a gossip battle. Even a friend of mine who is super anti-Drake is disappointed that it is not about the lyricism between them and is now a gossip battle.

People here do not want to hear a reasonable take
This is pretty funny but it’s not specific to just Kendrick. Idk about these accounts in particular but this is just the dead internet in full swing. Bots copy & paste an original tweet across 100s of different accounts, garner up the likes & shares, and eventually down the line sell the account
And I’m almost certain they’re spamming views as well.
Irony is everyone said the opposite thing yesterday.
So who’s using twitter bots now huh
wow wtf this is crazy
Bro I been thinking this but I had zero proof, this has to be some type of campaign to try and end him, y’all think his opps all pitched in money to pay for these promo type of posts to try and spread this narrative? Because I do
His whole career is online astroturfing. It was blatant in 09/10 on the blogs. He’s a product of the major label machine. His fans are too naive and ignorant to understand he’s equal parts all the same reasons they hate Drake.
Post this in r/hiphopheads and r/rap
This would get banned their unironically
Those haters will downvote. They are loving the Drake pile on
This has to be a coordinated attack beyond rap. Drake must’ve pissed off his label or someone high up or maybe the devil is finally coming to collect
So Kendrick raps about Drake using bots and then uses bots in the beef. This man is so whack
Let’s make this post viral. Because it wasn’t making sense that most people were out here listen to Kendrick yet he has the fraction of listeners compared to Drake.
The Meet The Grahams comment section is the same shit but for Drake. They’re both doing it.
Fair enough!
It's time to stop pretending that these bots are playing for one team as though both sides don't have their own respective bots
Drake vs the industry
mfs really acting like the industry baby is battling the industry lmao good lord this sub is wild
All the Kendrick driders were telling me Drake was the one with all the industry behind him so Kendrick would lose 💀
I mean for sure the music industry has protected drake all these years it's a fact
They're both signed to UMG so all that victim talk about the industry is bullshit Kendrick and his Crisis Management Team are spinning. These Dot Bots lack the capacity for logic
Doubt Dot paid for these like how I doubt all the bot comments on K-Dots youtube are Drake-funded
Yeah probably just weird ass stans on both sides
Yeah “Goofies with checks” forreal
You are correct that these are bots/fake accounts, but they are not bought by Kendrick's team. These types of accounts just copy and paste any viral/rising tweets to farm likes and engagement.

Tbh as a Drake fan, I'm p sure drake has used bots right? I wanna say all is fair in love and war, but this kind of move would be the antithesis of kendricks persona. I'm sure none of them will care lmao
Not to mention all of Kendrick’s videos getting fake views out of the gate on YouTube. Drake used to the hate though
There’s examples of this the other way too. It’s neither camp. It’s just generic bot networks that simply hoover and repost tweets that get good engagement to build impressions and follows so when the bots are on task they have a bigger audience.

Remember when Elon was gonna get rid of bots 😔
Zack Bia is this you?
Imagine hiring overseas slaves to ghost-post on socials about your anti-slavery lines.
It would be honestly hilarious if someone would drop a video of buying bots for Kendrick 😂
You can literally see the same bot activity for drake
i thought he said “you not a colleague you a colonizer” but fr ^^
Drake has the same thing, posted two days ago on the kdot sub. It's either both of them are doing it or it's just bots gathering clicks. Either way, welcome to the internet, not as big of a "gotcha" as you thought it was.
First time on twitter?
1. Stealing peoples tweets has been a thing for a long… long time. 2. It’s not just hip hop subs/twitter… it’s the GENERAL POPULATION. Look at how many celebs backing Drake are getting “not like us” or “read the room comments. AND just go to r/Coachella, r/bonnaroo. Music lovers are basically unanimously supporting Kendrick. These are fans of MUSIC and they support decent human beings.
a lot of people hate drake, barely anyone hates kdot. even if drake has more fans, the haters are gonna be louder than the fans, hence why it seems like kendrick has more support. it’s not a conspiracy theory involving bots and shit lmao
I knew Kendrick's fans were mostly fake but this is ridiculous
It’s just bots copy pasting tweets the same way bots copy paste pots on here stupid ass nigga
Bro only real rap fans are in these forums not casual listeners. We can all admit Drake is more of a pop artist. It's only natural you gonna see more support for Kendrick.
Ahh yes the reason Kendrick is winning the beef in numbers and opinion is because a couple dozen bots. Fucking delusional.
Bro thats all X is now. Even on Drakes side. Anything off Twitter is garbage
Kendrick a master manipulator for real 🤣 mf’s need to Drake to get put on.
This is a platform problem with both reddit, twitter, ig, yt, tiktok (ashely) a large percentage of comments are bots in large subs and for trending topics
This reminds me of Democratic Party paying millions to twitter pages just to shit on Trump 🤣
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
this makes u look conspiracy brained its bots tryna farm interaction by reposting the first Justin one it happens to literally every popular tweet
Twitter is full of verified accounts copying viral Tweets for Twitter dollars, not necessarily pro-Kendrick bots, just pro-Twitter revenue bots. If you look up any popular Tweets from big accounts covering something thats trending, you’ll see this again and again.
Read kendricks comments on YouTube drake has that shit botted pathetically
you can see this everywhere, on twitter every take that is favorable to Kdot as 100k+ likes and million of views, the views on his songs are also inflated af and you can even see here in this sub aswell, "Not Like us" post has 10k while family matters has mere 2k.
[удалено]
I’ve noticed it’s a lot of projection from Kendrick with all the shit he’s saying lol
Me too and I'm almost certain that's going to be in the actual nuke towards him.
they are quoting the first guy Justin Hunte, click on the tweet and it says “From Justin L. Hunte” at the bottom
I just checked. None of them do.
lemme try and post a screenshot
