Yes, but the point is that he hated him before the good reasons to hate him manifested. He's now using these legit reasons he doesn't actually care about as a vehicle for his original hatred. For example the dude threatened to take his music down in response to Spotify deplatforming convicted child molestor R. Kelly but now he's pretending to be a defender of women and youths just because Drake is the one creeping on them.

Kendrick just hates Drake's whole vibe and the fact that the guy achieved success despite it. He doesn't like how an upper-class Canadian guy slid into American rap culture pretending to be hardened and tough. He is "authentic" and views Drake as "fake". Even when Drake's public image was clean and he was nothing but helpful to upcoming artists (including Kendrick) Kendrick was resentful of him. Dude's a full blown culture gatekeeper lol.
