Camila Cabello shared how she's "frustrated" over Drake and Kendrick Lamar's ongoing rap beef, and now the fans are pulling receipts.

The "I Luv It" singer spoke with the Sunday Times to chat about the release of her fourth studio album, C, XOXO, which features Drake on two separate tracks: "Hot Uptown" and "Uuugly."

If you're wondering how the collaboration came to be — you might remember, that during a March episode of Call Her Daddy, Camila addressed whether or not she had a fling with the "Family Matters" rapper after host Alex Cooper asked about viral photos of their Turks and Caicos vacation.

When Alex asked if they were romantically linked, Camila said, "I love him so much, and I really listened to him a lot during the writing process for my album, and I really thought that he would like my album... So I DM'ed him and I was like, 'Hey, I would love to play you my album. I honestly feel like you would really love it.' Because I listen to him a lot, and I really do feel like musically in a lot of ways we like the same things."
So, it's fair to say that based on Camila sliding into Drake's DMs that led to two album features and their Turks and Caicos "friendly" vacation, the "Havana" singer might have some opinions about the Drake and Kendrick rap beef.

For context, the controversial hip-hop battle started when Kendrick subtly dissed Drake and J. Cole on Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That" in March.
After a few additional diss tracks from J. Cole, Rick Ross, and A$AP Rocky, Drake took the gloves off by responding with "Push Ups" and then "Taylor Made Freestyle."
Kendrick responded with "Euphoria," and after several back-and-forth diss tracks, including Drake's "Family Matters," we arrived at Kendrick performing "Not Like Us" five times in a row during The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth.
Needless to say, the rap beef is not over.

So, it makes sense that two-time Drake collaborator Camila would have something to say about the beef (although she didn't name anyone directly), but based on her history, it wasn't well-received.

"It's so frustrating to see people talk about someone you know in a way that is negative," Camila said to the Sunday Times. "You're like, 'Dang, if only you guys could just have dinner or something.'"

If you remember, Normani dealt with racist trolls while part of Fifth Harmony, as mentioned in her Rolling Stone cover story.

Then, when racist posts, reportedly from 2012, resurfaced from her former bandmate Camila, it really affected Normani since they once shared the spotlight.

"It took days for [Camila] to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced," Normani said. "Whether or not it was her intention, this made me feel like I was second to the relationship that she had with her fans."

Camila eventually apologized for the "horrible and hurtful" language from her teenage years.
