Wale and Kendrick Lamar came into the game in the same class so to speak, so the pair have been cool for some time now. Somewhere along the way, their friendship apparently waned, and Wale made note of that when a fan on Twitter suggested to him that they should tour together. We saw how that played out, and when it included commentary from Jay Rock, it seemed like it could really go left.

As the posts went viral, Wale commented on The Shade Room’s page to clear a few things up:

“I’ll step in the room again. Ppl will try to stir the pot.. But that’s just the way the “industry” is now. I just said I been able to reach homie for quite some time. But times where people stir the pot its easy to take things negatively. There’s no beef. No way I could even bark up that tree.. My business isn’t strong enough.. That’s like bringing a… Ah nvm u guys get it lol. I got respect for Jay Rock as he felt like maybe I was slighting..But I’m very very upfront when there’s… “shade” (see what I did there).. I deliver it priority mail when it’s necessary.. I’m sorry to inform, that there is none right now. I know people will stir the pot and I understand Jay Rock’s position.. I answered a fan question with an honest answer.. I sure hope there is a place for honesty amongst us moving forward. Sometimes we create pseudo, makeshift enemy’s out of being instigated to do such or out of plain old misinterpretation… Hope this clears up some of this.”

Mature answer, though I’m still not here for his passive aggressive way of trying to get Kendrick to hit him. Wonder if this will open the lines of communication now, or drive the rift even further? Let us know your thoughts!
