Vince Staples wants fans to look at the bigger picture when it comes to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s ongoing feud.
The 30-year-old rapper and actor made an appearance at Long Beach, California’s inaugural “Youth Day in the LBC” on Saturday. The event featured a special town hall with Long Beach Mayor Rex Richard, 40, in conversation with Staples, where young fans were given the opportunity to ask him questions.
One fan in particular was eager to get Staples’ take on who is winning the ongoing rap war between Drizzy, 37, and K Dot, 36.
Staples explained that he’s been signed to Universal Music Group since he was 17 years old and has since noticed some major changes in the music industry that affect creatives working in the music industry.
Vince Staples was asked for his thoughts on the Drake/Kendrick beef by a member of the audience at an event in Long Beach today.
