A$AP Rocky gave fans a peek ahead at his upcoming album Don’t Be Dumb during his set at Rolling Loud this weekend. In one of his songs, Rocky seemed to call out Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole – referencing the infamous feud between Lamar and Drake — despite Rocky adamantly denying that he has taken anyone’s side.

“I ain't on J. Cole, I ain't on Drake, I ain't on Kendrick [Lamar's] side," he rapped. “I choose homicide, they gon' see a different side.”

The three artists' once collaborated on 2012 hit song "F**kin' Problems" but, Rocky has previously dismissed the feud, saying: "I ain’t in the middle of that shit. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry.” Drake and Kendrick’s rivalry intensified last year and the two rappers spent months releasing tracks aimed at each other. Things culminated with K. Dot performing his smash Drake diss “Not Like Us” at Super Bowl LIX

As for A$AP Rocky’s album, there is still no official release date for Don’t Be Dumb.
