Drake Taunts Kendrick Lamar Camp: “They Have Nothing To Drop”

Drake has been doing lots of typing since he dropped “Push Ups.” The rapper has trolled several of his enemies on Instagram, but the one he’s been most adamant about targeting is Kendrick Lamar. K. Dot’s lack of social media engagement had led Drake to target those close to the rapper. This include Lamar’s manager, Anthony Saleh, and Lamar affiliate DJHed. Drake taunted the latter after an IG post made note of the fact that Lamar hasn’t responded to the “Push Ups” diss. Not yet, at least.

The whole thing started as a string of tweets from DJHed. The music industry veteran criticized Drake for not putting “Push Ups” on streaming services. “The Canadian ‘responded’ after over a decade of being dared to come outside,” he wrote. “Still has yet to claim said ‘response.’ He’s now taunting Ant in an attempt to garner a reaction.” Ant, in this case, is the aforementioned Anthony Saleh. DJHed ended his tweet by insulting the quality of Drake’s music. “If you enjoy microwaved meal that’s on you,” he asserted. “We prefer cooked food on this side.”

Drake Suggests K. Dot Doesn’t Have A Diss Ready

DJ Akademiks posted the tweet on his Instagram, which led Drake to respond. The rapper dismissed DJHed’s claims and clowned Lamar for not having a response ready. “Use me as a ‘they have nothing to drop’ button,” he wrote in the comments section. It hasn’t been long since Drake released “Push Ups,” but the constant trolling, coupled with controversy surrounding Lamar’s fake AI diss, has made it seem longer. DJHed kept it moving by pointing out Drake’s reluctance to drop “Push Ups” on streaming. “‘B2B’ is up, ‘Duppy’ is up,” he wrote back. “Your ‘Push Ups’ song is not…”

DJHed’s reply is only partially correct. “Back to Back,” Drake’s 2015 diss against Meek Mill, is indeed on streaming. So is the Meek diss that preceded it, “Charged Up.” DJHed is incorrect in stating that “Duppy Freestyle,” however, Drake’s 2018 diss against Pusha T, is streaming. The song is not available on Apple Music or Spotify, so there’s a precedent for Drizzy keeping his disses “unofficial.” DJHed reposted the exchange on his IG with one final dig. He told Drake not to wait until the numbers come out before he “claims” his diss track, implying the rapper is only concerned about chart performance.

Regardless of who’s right, the next move from Lamar’s camp is going to be crucial.

Rick Ross References Millie Bobby Brown Amidst Drake Beef

Rick Ross will not let up. The Maybach Music mogul has spent the last week bombing on Drake, both in the form of music and Instagram posts. He’s doing everything he can to make life difficult for the Toronto rapper, and he just crossed a threshold that nobody has dared approach. During a recent IG Story, Ross promoted his upcoming car show by bringing up the controversial friendship between Drake and actress Millie Bobby Brown. If the gloves weren’t off already, they are now.

Rozay’s car show promotion looked to be a rare IG post without a Drake reference, but he couldn’t help himself. The rapper pointed to one of his prized vehicles and hyped it up by comparing it to the Stranger Things actress. “That right there,” he said off camera. “I know Drake woulda loved that like Millie Bobby Brown.” It was a shocking statement within the context of the promo, but one that fans have been waiting to hear from one Drake’s enemies. Drake’s connection to Brown is, undoubtedly, one of the most controversial aspects of his career. It was only a matter of time before someone mentioned it.

Rick Ross Brought Up Drake’s Biggest Controversy

Drake and Brown first met in 2017, when the latter was a breakout star on Netflix’s Stranger Things. She told W Magazine that she and Drake texted on occasion, despite the fact she was only 14 years old. She later revealed that the rapper gave her dating advice, which many felt was inappropriate behavior. Brown has maintained that Drake has been nothing but a friend, but fans are still leery of the rapper’s behavior.

Drake dismissed the claims that he was romantically interested in Brown on the 2023 song “Another Late Night.” He called anyone who believed he was being predatory a “weirdo” and co-signed Brown’s side of the story. “Weirdos in my comments talkin’ ‘bout some Millie Bobby, look,” he rapped. “Bring them jokes up to the gang, we get to really flockin’. Or send a finger to your mama in some FedEx boxes.”

Ross has repeatedly called Drake “white boy” on his IG stories, but it looks like he opened up a whole other avenue of mockery moving forward. Fans will have to wait and see the 6 God responds.

Drake Posts Photo Of Kendrick Lamar’s Manager With OVO Merch

The trolling continues. Drake impressed the hip-hop world with his diss “Push Ups,” and has kept the momentum going by clowning his enemies on Instagram. He posted a Drumline meme to mock Metro Boomin, a screenshot to make fun of Rick Ross, and now he’s turned his attention back to his main foe: Kendrick Lamar. Drake posted a photo of Lamar’s current manager, Anthony Saleh, in an unflattering situation. It’s never good to be seen rocking the merch of a rival, and yet, that’s exactly what Saleh did. The photo sees the manager carrying a bag emblazoned with Drake’s OVO logo.

Drake rubbed salt in the wound by adding a caption. “We getting in our bag or nah?,” he mockingly asked Saleh. The caption is a double entendre, referencing both the metaphorical bag that Lamar needs to be in to respond to “Push Ups,” and the literal OVO back that K. Dot’s manager is carrying. It’s worth noting that the year the photo was taken is unclear, and likely predates Saleh’s union with Lamar. Saleh became Lamar’s manager in 2021, shortly before the rapper launched his company pgLang.

Saleh may not have the fame of other hip-hop managers, but he executive produced Nas’ self-titled album in 2008. He also negotiated multi-million dollar endorsement deals for the Queens rapper.

Drake Keeps Pushing Kendrick Lamar For A Response

Drake has repeatedly made Anthony Saleh a target on social media. On April 16, the rapper posted a photo of Saleh on his IG Story with turtle emojis. “Wonder if today is the day,” he wrote, referencing his impatience for a Kendrick Lamar response track. Drake’s fixation on Lamar’s management extends to the aforementioned “Push Ups,” where he clowned Lamar for signing a bad deal. Drake claims the Compton emcee split half of his earnings with Top Dawg Entertainment, which inspired the “drop and give me 50” line in the song’s chorus.

A snippet of an alleged Kendrick Lamar diss leaked on April 15. Fans debated whether or not the leak was real, but TikTok producer Sy The Rapper eventually claimed credit for making the song. Lamar hasn’t yet responded to “Push Ups” in an official capacity. Until he does, he can expect Drake to continue to pester him and Saleh on Instagram.

Drake Doesn’t Have “Any Resentment” For The Weeknd Not Signing To OVO In Resurfaced Clip, Fans Totally Disagree

Drake and The Weeknd are widely considered as two of Canada’s biggest musical superstars and for good reason. Both have proven over and over again that they know how to make impactful pieces of art. Early on their careers, most know that they were close and helping each other make it in the industry. However, when it came down to Drake looking to eventually sign The Weeknd to OVO, it did not work out for Drizzy. Abel made it clear back then that he felt he could still become a force and sure enough that decision paid dividends tenfold.

Following that, there has always been speculation that they had some sort of beef because of that indifference. Lately, those suspicions have turned out to be true, as The Weeknd made it clear on “All to Myself.” The WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU cut off Metro Boomin and Future’s most recent album, heard him say how happy he was for that decision. “I thank God that I never signed my life away… They shooters makin’ TikToks / Got us laughin’ in the Lambo (Yeah).” Drake recently responded to that diss on his fiery, 20 versus 1 response “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty).”

With all of that in mind, some people’s minds might be persuaded to think that Drake may be the good guy here. A clip from Drake’s viral interview with Rap Radar about four years ago resurfaced in which he addressed not being able to sign The Weeknd. In it, The Boy says that he personally never had any ill will toward the R&B icon, but that some others on the OVO label did. He also expressed that he was always “super happy” and “excited” for him. However, most fans were not drinking the Kool-Aid. “U could tell he was mad with his lyin ahhh,” one person wrote. “I’d be mad too if I didn’t sign the biggest artist in the world,” another added.

What are your thoughts on Drake and his comments about being “super happy” for The Weeknd? Do you think there is some underlying thoughts of “what could have been,” why or why not? How do you think his career would have looked if he signed with OVO? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kendrick Lamar Fans Think He Could Be Dropping A Drake Response Today

Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef feels like the biggest rap story in ages. It began last month with Kendrick’s verse on the Future & Metro Boomin song “Like That.” He dismantled the idea that rap music has a “big three.” He took direct shots at J. Cole and Drake by name-dropping their 2023 collaboration “First Person Shooter.” While J. Cole responded but quickly took it back just a few days later, Drake isn’t letting up.

Over the weekend Drake released a diss track answering claims made by Kendrick Lamar. The song also addresses shots taken in recent weeks by Metro Boomin and Rick Ross and even potential shots taken by Future & The Weeknd. There’s been rumors swirling constantly ever since from both artist’s camps that things aren’t done yet. Recently, Kendrick’s fans became convinced that his reply was coming today when various behind-the-scenes figures close to him tweeted and then deleted posts about looking forward to today. Nothing has materialized yet, but that isn’t slowing down the build-up of fan anticipation regardless. Check out some of the evidence they’re citing to back up claims that Kendrick could drop today below.

Is Kendrick Lamar Responding To Drake Today?

Fans are clearly loving the diss track that sparked this entire beef. “Like That” has spent the last three weeks at the top spot on the Hot 100. It served as Kendrick’s third chart-topping song and his first to ever spend multiple weeks at the top spot. The track will at least challenge for a full month at number one, though current projections have Hozier’s “Too Sweet” taking over the top spot.

In addition to J. Cole’s shared and deleted diss track and Drake’s high-powered response, Rick Ross also shared a response to Drake. Fans didn’t seem particularly impressed by his answer and by how much he’s been posting about Drake online. Do you think Kendrick’s collaborators are teasing him potentially dropping a response song today? Do you think he will respond with an entire new song at all? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rick Ross Calls Drake Washed, Claimed OVO Hush Is A Ghostwriter

Last month, Kendrick Lamar sparked a beef with two of the biggest voices in hip-hop. He featured on Future & Metro Boomin’s song “Like That” and used the opportunity to take down J. Cole and Drake. But that turned out to be just the beginning of people having issues with the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper. In the weeks since he’s found himself taking shots from Rick Ross and Metro Boomin. Some fans even thought The Weeknd and Future could have been trying to hit him with more subtle criticisms.

But there’s absolutely no question that Ross wants beef. He’s come for Drake directly multiple times over the weekend and throughout the week. The original claim he tried to make over and over again is that Drake allegedly had a nose job done. Ross released an entire diss track hitting back at Drake called “Champagne Problems” earlier this week. But he isn’t done yet. Ross returned to Instagram with another story post about Drake, this time making an entirely different claim. He shared a pictures of the rapper with OVO Hush. Ross claimed both that Hush works as a ghost writer and also that Drake is “washed.” Check out the post he made below.

Rick Ross Continues Coming For Drake

In the comments, fans mostly aren’t even reacting to Ross’ claims. Instead, they’re blown away by just how much he’s been posting about Drake. “Find you someone who thinks about you as much as Ross thinks about Drake” one of the top comments on the post reads. Others pointed out that Ross has a history of hyping up Drake that looks a little awkward now, much like Metro Boomin. “Didn’t he say him drake are the top 2 percentile of writers. Now he got ghost writers 😂 make it make sense” another comment reads.

What do you think of Rick Ross’ new claim that Drake has continued using ghostwriters and is “washed?” Do you think Drake should respond to what Ross is saying or just leave it and focus on other beefs? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Shares A Supposed DM Exchange In Which He Accuses Rick Ross Of Being A ‘Worker’ And Exaggerating His Wealth

It seems like Drake and Rick Ross aren’t burying the hatchet anytime soon. Yesterday (April 16), Drake shared a few Instagram Stories featuring supposed exchanges between him and Ross.

He captioned one of the Stories, saying, “Look how I talk to this turkey. You shoulda just asked for another feature.”

In a DM to Ross featured in the Story, Drake accuses Ross of exaggerating his luxurious lifestyle.

“Your star island house on a sliver of cheesecake,” Drake said to Ross. “your lot 40000 square feet my crib 40000 square feet Leonard.”

“And you put a wrap on your timeshare jet. That sh*t coming off when it’s the other people turn to fly,” Drake said, alluding to Ross’ customized Gulfstream G550.

One of Ross’ earliest hits was 2006’s “Hustlin’,” which introduced his entrepreneurial spirit with the catchy “everyday I’m hustlin’” chorus. However, Drake suggested that Ross is no longer a self-starter, claiming he’s a “worker” for Brett Berrish, founder of Luc Belaire champagne, which Ross is often seen drinking.

“You Brett Berrish [sic] worker. How many cases you gotta move before you got a cheque finally,” Drake said. “You’re Brett son now you not Rozay anymore.”

The exchange comes after back-and-forth disses, including Drake’s “Push Ups” and Ross’ response, “Champagne Moments.”

You can see the exchange above.

Did Drake Actually Get A Nose Job Like Rick Ross Claims?

Rick Ross recently added to the Drake drama after he claimed the Toronto rapper had a nose job on his Instagram story. Ross posted a side-by-side photo of Drake, complete with the caption: “The bridge of your nose somehow got smaller BBL Drizzy @champagnepapi.” He would also go on to include it as a diss on his “Champagne Moments” song.

Did Drake Actually Get A Nose Job Like Rick Ross Claims?

Drake then responded by sharing a text conversation he had with his mom about the rumors. “I would have got us a 2-for-1 deal if I went ma,” he answered her when she asked if he actually had one done.

Since then, the two keep going back and forth about whether Drake had the procedure. Most recently, the Daily Mail featured some real-life plastic surgeons to get their outside opinions on whether they thought Drake had work done.

Dr. Elie Levine, a surgeon from NYC, shared, “It’s not like he has gone from looking like one person to a totally different person, but there is definitely more definition in the later photos. Light can always affect these things and can make a difference. But, if you really scrutinize it — there is a high likelihood that he did some nasal contouring.”

“There is a high likelihood he had a rhinoplasty because his tip looks smaller and his nasal bridge is narrower,” another surgeon, Dr. Raja Mohan from Texas, told the outlet.

However, this isn’t fully concrete evidence — and the debate about Drake’s nose job will likely continue for a while.

Sexyy Red Causes Split Social Media Reaction After Twerking in Front of Her Son

SexyyRed007

Sexyy Red celebrated her birthday and went out twerking. The issue in certain social media sectors is her son, who is looking on in the moment. Red’s butt is in full view of the child, and another woman would playfully interact with him.

The reaction is split as some supported Sexyy Red, with one social media user writing: “So yall don’t dance in front of yall kids?? Yall just 2 step ok.”

You can see the moment below. What’s your take on it?

Returning down memory lane to the MySpace and Juicy Couture era, Sexyy Red has unveiled the video for her latest Billboard-charting single, “Get It Sexyy.” Produced by Tay Keith, the track has already amassed millions of streams and debuted impressively at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Directed by Des Gray, the video captures the essence of the early 2000s, reminiscent of BET’s “106 & Park” playlist. Sexyy Red channels the era’s vibes, sporting tall tees and putting her spin on classic internet dance challenges. Notably, internet sensation Soulja Boy makes a cameo, contributing to a catchy dance routine akin to “Crank Dat.”

The star-studded video features appearances from Drake, humorously portrayed as Sexyy Red’s roller-skating rink date, along with cameos from Adin Ross, Rob49, Wizz Havinn, Fabo, Tay Keith, and more. “Get It Sexyy” marks Sexyy Red’s highest-charting solo single, surpassing her previous hit “SkeeYee.”

Drake’s Rap Beefs Stem From Alleged Co-ownership Of Gamma Music, Joe Budden Says

Joe Budden might not be hitting the studio like he used to, but the podcaster still has plenty of industry intel he’s happy to discuss on his show. Lately, a lot of the 43-year-old’s content has been focusing on the drama unfolding amongst the men of rap. Many are curious why Drake suddenly became public enemy number one to former collaborators like Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar. According to Budden, the reason might be a lot more complicated than it seems on the surface.

“The labels got s**t running through Drake, I’m telling you,” the “Pump It Up” hitmaker alleged on Tuesday’s (April 16) episode of his podcast. “We’re going to find out. One of these ni**as is going to spill the beans soon, I’m telling you. There’s something here that we don’t know enough about yet,” Budden said after a co-host mentioned the father of one’s alleged ties to Gamma. XXL notes that the new company was founded in 2023 by former Apple executive Larry Jackson and record executive Ike Youssef. Rick Ross, French Montana, Sexyy Red, and Usher are all artists on the platform’s roster.

Joe Budden Suggests That Drake Is a Part-Owner of Gamma

“I think Drake owns some of Gamma,” The Joe Budden Podcast creator told viewers. In the past, the rapper-turned-media personality speculated that the 6ix God is getting paid for showing support to Sexyy, which supports this theory. Additionally, it could explain some of the tension brewing with Montega and Rozay.

At this point, it’s hard to keep up with all the artists who seem to be airing out their issues with Drake. Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar are the most obvious, but there’s also speculation that his fellow Canadian, The Weeknd, was singing some shade on Metro Boomin and Future’s We Still Don’t Trust You. Read our timeline of their drama at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
