"4 GNX's pulled up": Internet reacts to Dody6 apologizing to Kendrick Lamar days after cussing out the rapper
Hip-hop artist Dody6 apologized for dissing Kendrick Lamar after he revealed his current financial situation. The West Coast rapper admitted that he lost his house and is now "homeless" in a video that circulated on social media, like the one posted by X user @42daily on April 21, 2025.
He also addressed people suggesting that he should be better off financially after his collaboration with Kendrick Lamar on GNX. He said that working with Kendrick in Hey Now didn't "change sh*t" for him, adding:
"You act like that ni**a got a million dollars for that sh*t. The f*ck? Only thing a ni**a got is some clout and f*ck clout!"
However, in an April 25 screenshot shared by NFR Podcast on X, Dody6 was apologizing for calling Kendrick a b**ch, adding, "He Is Far FROM THAT & Ain't Did Nothing But Bless Me n My Life." His change of heart earned various reactions from netizens, including one suggesting that there were GNXs that pulled up.
"4 GNX's pull up," a user on X commented.
Other netizens joked about his change of heart, implying that there were phone calls made urging him to retract his initial statement or a "bump to the head" that might have knocked sense into him.
"Lol, phone calls were made behind the scenes and it was handled," an X user said.
"A couple of gentlemen paid him a nice visit," another X user commented.
"That bump to the head must of knocked some sense into him," an X user added.
Other commenters implied that dissing Kendrick Lamar was the "worst mistake" Dody6 made, adding that it would be "impossible" for him to collaborate with another big artist in the future.
"Bro fumbled the bad for all Indy Cali rappers in perpetuity. GNX ain't happening again lmao," a user on X commented.
"He made the worst mistake, it's gonna be impossible to have any other big someone reach out to him to make something," an X user added.
