    In Kendrick's verse of the song 'Like That' from We Don’t Trust You, he raps: “F*ck sneak dissin’, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches.”

    This lyric appears to be a reference to Drake and J. Cole's single "First Person Shooter", and the subsequent joint tour which has followed.
