Adin Ross has some firm beliefs about the diss track saga between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

The popular streamer was a guest on the new Full Send Podcast episode, where he gave his take on the beef, which intensified last year with alternating songs between Drizzy and K. Dot.

To most of the public, the Compton rapper won with the final blow of "Not Like Us," which earned five Grammy Awards earlier this month. But around the 10-minute mark of the video below, Ross backed Drake and alleged that Spotify is pushing a Kendrick agenda on its playlists.

"Look, Kendrick Lamar, back in the day, he [had] hits," Ross told host Kyle Forgeard before asking him to name five songs from Kendrick's GNX. "Then the hidden message thing at the Super Bowl, it's like, 'Dude, OK, come on, bro.'"

Ross said that the 22-time Grammy Award winner made his halftime performance "all about Drake" instead of running through his classic songs.

"In my opinion, I think Drake won that beef, the rap battle, because it's like, obviously Kendrick made the hit song, 'Not Like Us,' but it's all lies," the streamer said.

He added that Drake debunked the claim that he has a daughter, although that was actually insinuated on "Meet the Grahams."

The streamer also argued that "Drake put Kendrick on," as the Compton rapper appeared on his 2011 album, Take Care and was a supporting act on the Club Paradise Tour.

"He's been No. 1 for so long, they just tried to knock him out," Ross continued.

It's understandable that Ross would side with Drake since the rapper appeared on a Christmas livestream with him, where he hilariously reacted to being called "unc" and gave his opinion on the state of hip-hop.
