A$AP Ferg Calls A$AP Rocky & Kendrick Lamar’s Feuds With Drake After Touring Together ‘Kind of Natural’
Long before Drake’s feuds with A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar reached a boiling point in 2024, both men opened for Drizzy on his Club Paradise Tour in 2012.

A$AP Ferg was around the trio of then-emerging superstars throughout the North American trek, and he reflected on how the different parties grew to now become foes more than a decade later.
Ferg, who joined the Bootleg Kev Podcast on Wednesday (Nov. 19), compared their relationship to a family dynamic, with each looking for their own avenues to greatness.
“I feel like that’s kind of natural, though, because even when you think about the family dynamic — little brother, big brother things — a lot of the times, a little brother want to grow up and prove himself and not be under the wings of the big brother,” he said. “That happens a lot, people grow into individuals.”
Ferg continued to point to how all three artists weren’t finished products at that time, and still growing and evolving as humans.
“A lot of the times, where we start is not who we really are. We’re still growing into the person we are. The K. Dot that was on tour, or the Drake that was on tour, or the Rocky that was on tour, or the Ferg that was on tour, is not that same person,” the Harlem native added. “We were still learning ourselves during that time, so when you grow, you can’t expect for the relationship to be the same.”
Obviously, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky became music titans in their own rights and dominated the 2010s in rap.
Last year, Rocky appeared to take shots at the 6 God on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands,” and Drizzy replied by sending a shot in Rocky’s direction on his “Family Matters” diss track in the midst of his 2024 battle with K. Dot.
