The picture corresponds with the song because Lamar is accusing Drake of being a pedophile by saying lines such as, “Tryna strike a chord and its probably A-Minor”, and “certified loverboy, certified pedophiles”.

Max Leonards manager as well as Founder & Talent Manager of Mad Lettuce Management Matt Ladis personally contacted me and shared early access of JUDO!. Additionally, I received access to the press release and some of Leonards own thoughts on his project. “This project was me getting everything off my chest.
