Xzibit made sure to let everyone know that he’s riding with Kendrick Lamar.

Making an appearance on Bill Maher’s Club Random Podcast, where they discussed the impact of “Not Like Us.” Maher argued that calling Drake a pedophile is “serious allegations.” According to Xzibit, there are no rules in rap battles. He also brought up some of Drizzy’s alleged behavior with young girls that he thought was suspect.

“I have no idea about what he’s doing with his boy, you know, that don’t sound right,” Xzibit said referring to Drake calling himself a Certified Lover Boy. “I just know that’s where that comes from, that clip. And then he was talking to the Millie Bobby Brown girl about relationship sh*t.”

X went on to compare the battle to  David vs. Goliath, characterizing Lamar as the underdog against Drake.

“What you’re seeing and why people are celebrating it so much is that this big, huge machine and this so-called rapper from Compton… Yes, he has success, but he’s not as big as Drake,” he added.

When Maher attempted to focus on the pedophile accusations, Xzibit said that all is fair in love and war.

“No. Are you kidding?” X exclaimed. “This is a rap battle! This is not a testimony or deposition. This is a f**king rap battle,  I’m going to talk about your mama, your daddy, your children, your grandma’s wooden leg, your missing teeth. It’s all a game, right?”

“If there was something weird going on, then there would definitely be people that would come forward and testify, and then people would be charged for that,” Xzibit said. “But when you’re playing the dozens, and I give you one that hurts your feelings, don’t be the guy who wants to fight because I got a good joke.”A worldwide smash, “Not Like Us” debuted number one on the Billboard charts in 2024, and spent 20 weeks at number one on the Hot Rap Songs chart. The scathing diss track was also a top hit in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia.
