King Nas

"King Nas" is a song by Lupe Fiasco, released as the 21st track from his album Drogas Wave (2018). He clarified over Reddit that it was not about rapper Nas, but instead, a song he "wrote dedicated to and inspired by" his "two nephews named King & Nas as they journey into manhood." He added, "I always dedicate songs to my family."
He recalled in an interview with The Ringer that he was in the studio with Nas, pre-Covid. He continued, "Nas was like, 'Yo, that song, 'King Nas'—Erykah Badu hit me and let me know that you know that you had a nephew named King and a nephew named Nas and that that's what it's about.' And he mentioned this one line in the record. He says he was telling his homies, 'This Lupe, I don't know how he did that...' And I looked him in the face and was like, 'Bro that's you. That's me doing you. That ain't me."Thompson, Paul (August 2, 2022). ""Rappers Don’t Fall Off": Lupe Fiasco on Aging in Hip-Hop, Drill Music, and the Audience". The Ringer.
