ASAP Rocky<\/a> believes Drake<\/a> and Kendrick Lamar<\/a>\u2019s 2024-defining feud was \u201chealthy for hip-hop,\u201d though he seems perplexed by the beef ultimately leading to legal action<\/a>.<\/p>\n In an interview with Clover Hope for ELLE<\/em>, seen in full here<\/a>, Rocky spoke briefly about the extensive back-and-forth, giving his reasoning for why he \u201cfell back\u201d as the feud escalated.
