The public ending of the artist formerly known as Kanye West’s feud with Drake gets a reflective mention on Kendrick Lamar’s new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.

In the Sampha-featuring Disc 1 track “Father Time,” Kendrick briefly cites the quashed feud by remarking that its end left him “slightly confused.” In the very next line, Kendrick ponders what this initial reaction could mean in terms of maturity and healing:

“When Kanye got back with Drake, I was slightly confused
Guess I’m not mature as I think, got some healing to do”

Ye and Drake setting aside their issues ultimately resulted in the Amazon-streamed Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert event,  which was quite remarkably put together in just 18 days. Speaking with Complex in December, Gabe Fraboni—founder of PHNTM, who served as Ye’s production lead at the event—revealed that the evening’s special effects marked the “biggest unknown” in terms of planning.
