Lol he’s so dumb

. Kendrick didn’t publicly deny the allegations because it would have played into Drake’s strategy and given the rumors more weight. Silence can be powerful, and responding would have signaled that the claims got to him. Kendrick and Whitney have always kept their relationship private, so addressing it publicly would have created unnecessary bs. The burden of proof was on Drake, and since he had no solid evidence, Kendrick didn’t need to defend himself. Making a statement would have made Kendrick look defensive, as if he had something to hide. Instead, he focused on discrediting Drake and controlling the narrative. This approach helped him win the battle without getting distracted by personal rumors.
