About
Baka Got A Weird Case, Why Is He Around? is a viral catchphrase that originated from Kendrick Lamar's 2024 diss track against Drake, "Not Like Us" during their rap feud. The line supposedly refers to accusations that Travis Savoury (aka Baka Not Nice) committed crimes against women but is still currently associated with OVO, Drake's music label. The phrase went viral on Twitter / X in May 2024 in the days following the song's release.
Origin
On May 4th, 2024, Kendrick Lamar released his song "Not Like Us," a diss track against Drake. At the 0:54 timestamp, Kendrick raps, "And Baka got a weird case, why is he around?" in reference to rapper and former security guard Travis Savoury, aka Baka Not Nice (seen below).[1]
The line is supposedly a reference to Baka Not Nice's legal troubles. In 2014, he was arrested for allegedly forcing a 22-year-old woman into prostitution. The next year, he pleaded guilty to assaulting the woman, but the human trafficking charges were dropped because the accuser refused to testify.[2]
