  • Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem are actually cousins. However, despite claims that Baby Keem is an industry plant simply due to his connections with Kendrick, the truth is the two haven't always had the closest relationship. After Keem would move to Las Vegas as a kid, the two wouldn't see each other for almost 10 years. In this video I discuss the history of their relationship, as well as see how they have helped each other musically in these past few years.

    You should have mentioned lyrics from MM&BS, Kendrick mentioning his aunty's addition and his son making millions (Keem), and him sacrificing his time/career/music to work on Keem's project, I guess that's why he didn't release for so long.

    They are 2 halfs of a whole. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them closely collaborating on each other's music. I believe they both can bounce the originality and progress between each other - effectively both having a positive impact on the other's career.

    Obviously we don't need anymore proof that Kendrick the real deal, but telling that boy to graduate would do it for sure. Definitely goes to show what kind of time he's really on, and honestly that shit should always be a stipulation with this. Like if you got ppl saying "at least graduate high school before attempting a career like that", then you got some folks that actually looking out for you frfr.

    Fantastic video, Keep is getting big. It makes me so mad when people say Keem only made it because of Kendrick that is some shit. Keem is so very talented. Sure I'm sure he has benefitted some from being related to Kendrick but no way does that correlated to him being even close to kenny. Keem is an elite artist and has been for a while

      I think the secret beef has been dead for a long time. That was very 2013-2018. It doesn’t sound that long ago but think about your life in the past 4 years. A lot can change in a small amount of time (edit - I don’t think they’re friends or anything I just don’t think Kendrick and Drake would spend time to throw subliminal shots. The beef is dead basically)

      Put him on? That’s not always considered a plant obviously cause he has talent in production, which is a behind the scenes thing anyways. There’s a plant then there’s people who make it organically through connections, there is a thin line but Keem seems to be more on the organic side. Orange Soda being big as it was was telling in it self.

      @@ryuusaki7309 it’s almost like you’re discrediting his sound. He is not in the same league as Ice Spice or Kid Laroi, they weren’t even claiming each other and he still blew. Make it make sense.
