Alchemist recently gave a surprising response when asked how he felt about Kendrick Lamar using his beat for the scathing Drake diss track "Meet The Grahams."

On Tuesday, Alc hopped on X for a Q&A session with fans. One fan brought up how Questlove revealed that the legendary producer didn't know K Dot would be using one of his beats in his feud with Drake.

"Questlove made it known that you weren’t aware Kendrick was going to use your beat for meet the graham’s," one fan asked on X. "Did it bother you that Kendrick did that? Was it okay with you that questlove gave us that information?"

Alchemist briefly clarified that he wasn't bothered by Lamar's use of the beat, but proceeded to joke that he was bothered, actually "livid," about a discovery he had related to Cap'n Crunch cereal and the cereal mascot's real name.

"Nah but i was extremely bothered and downright livid when i realized that all these years i did not know that Cap'n Crunch's full name is Horatio Magellan Crunch," Alchemist wrote.

Kendrick dropped "Meet the Grahams" shortly after Drake released "Family Matters" last month. In his nuclear response, the pgLang rapper penned an open letter to several of the 6 God's family members, even alleging Drake was hiding yet another child.

After "Meet the Grahams" came out, Kendrick went back to back, unleashing another lethal blow with "Not Like Us," which became a viral sensation and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake replied with "The Heart Part 6," but the battlefield was already decimated and it wasn't enough to turn the tides in his favor. Drake removed the track from his Instagram page earlier this week.
