Blueface<\/a> is shedding light on how one of hip-hop\u2019s biggest rivalries played out behind bars, and according to him, the energy inside jail leaned heavily in Drake<\/a>\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

During a recent conversation with Bootleg Kev, the Los Angeles rapper recalled how inmates reacted to the highly publicized feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar<\/a> while he was incarcerated.<\/p>\n

At the time, Blueface was serving time in a Los Angeles County facility following legal issues tied to a probation violation stemming from a prior case.

Despite the heated reactions from others, Blueface said he viewed the rivalry as a positive moment for hip-hop.<\/p>\n
