“Kendrick Is a Better Lyricist” – Jon Jones Refuses to Take Sides in Beef but Admits Drake Is ‘Catchy’

Jon Jones might be returning to the UFC Octagon very soon. He took a three-year layoff before he returned opposite Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in 2023. He succeeded in gaining the heavyweight title within minutes, and he also had a Stipe Miocic fight set for UFC 295. However, a shoulder injury prevented him from participating in the bout. ‘Bones’ might return now, but recently he did not give an update about his fight; rather, he revealed his favorite musician and rapper. Why is it so interesting? Well, the names he took are Drake and Kendrick Lamar, who have been having their versions of bouts for a while now. 

The two hip-hop icons Kendrick Lamar and Drake are again on the minds of fans because there are new diss tracks in town. Each of them released these new tracks about each other. Lamar released his fourth diss track, Not Like Us, which is aimed at Drake. He accused Drake of grooming underage women on the track, and in Meet the Grahams, he again disses Drake. Drake did not sit back quietly and released Family Matters, where he called out Lamar. 

Among all this, Jon Jones came onto Twitter to talk about his favorite rapper. He said, “I’m not deep into hip-hop like that. I’m more of a fan of Drake’s music; I find a lot of his stuff catchy. But I hear Kendrick is a better lyricist. Who are y’all rocking with?” He did not take sides, although he did mention who his favorite musician and lyricist were. 

The fighter who used The Champ is Here as his walkout song for his fight with Ciryl Gane has given his verdict and has now thrown the ball to the fans’ court and asked them to choose their rapper. The fight with Ciryl Gane was more special because Drake bet on Jon Jones to win!

Drake bet $500K on Jon Jones for Ciryl Gane’s fight

The music superstar made his money by betting that Jon Jones would win UFC 285 against Ciryl Gane. He bet $500k on Jones and put $250,000 on a submission and another $250,000 on a KO.

Lo and behold, Jones won the fight and became the winner with a massive guillotine choke at 2 minutes, and 4 seconds of the first round. So, Drake’s bet was worth it! Meanwhile, Jones recently gave an update about his return and said, “I have a date; I’ll let boss man Dana announce that.” 

The 36-year-old gave this response to a question from a fan on X. ‘Bones’ also revealed that the agreement was verbal for now and he might return to the 265-pound division. Now Jones can get either Tom Aspinall, Miocic, or Poatan. Let’s see how he fairs in his latest fight. Do you think he might use Drake or Lamar’s tracks as his walk-out song?
