Kendrick Lamar was named Rapper of the Year in GQ's Man of the Year issue, and the magazine did a feature interview with the Compton emcee. The interview takes place during a chaotic time for Kendrick, as he bumps into Drake at the MTV Video Music Awards after his "Control" verse had stirred up tension between the two.

Following the run-in with Drake at the VMAs, Kendrick was asked if the two are cool now. He said that they're "Pretty cool," but added: "I mean, I would be okay if we weren't."

Drake would begin to give interviews indicating that he had felt offended by Kendrick's verse, and Kendrick would go on to respond with his verse at the BET Cypher. In the interview, Kendrick acknowledged that Drake had taken his verse to be a diss, and added that Drake wasn't a creative influence or role model. "If anything. We all peers."
