On Monday (Oct. 21), Harper's Bazaar shared a new interview with K-Dot and SZA, which features the Compton, Calif. rapper speaking candidly for the first time since engaging in lyrical warfare with Drizzy back in the spring.

"He’s a man who can recognize his mistakes and not be afraid to share the mistakes and can dig deep down into fear-based ideologies or experiences to be able to express them without feeling like he’s less of a man. If I’m thinking of 'Not Like Us,' I’m thinking of me and whoever identifies with that."
SZA also asks Kendrick to address tapping into his femininity.
