In various social media platforms like Pocket, Tumblr, Twitter, and more, Baka Not Nice reacted to Kendrick Lamar's remark in the song "Not Like Us" about his involvement with Drake's OVO Sound and his troubled past. During an interview on the "Hot Freestyle" podcast, the Toronto rapper, who has a close relationship with Drake, dismissed Lamar's criticism and mentioned that Drake advised him to remain calm.

Lamar's lyric mentioned Baka's legal issues from 2014, prompting Baka to ponder a quick and direct response as he felt the need to back his reputation. Despite feeling furious, a call from Drake helped Baka calm down. Drake reassured him not to pay attention to the negative chatter as it was just noise from unworthy sources.

Baka Not Nice's legal troubles date back to 2014 when he was arrested on various charges, including assault and human trafficking. The most serious charges were dropped as the woman involved refused to testify against him. In 2015, Baka pleaded guilty to assault, leading to a six-month jail sentence, but he did not serve extra time due to pre-trial custody. The woman involved had distanced herself from Baka and relocated by the time of his trial. Drake supported Baka's return in 2015 and signed him to OVO Sound in 2017.
