Rick Ross Has A Good Laugh At Drake In His ‘Champagne Moments’ Video

by

Rick Ross isn’t wasting any time in his ongoing feud with Drake. Over the past two weeks, Rozay shared his Drake diss “Champagne Moments” online and officially dropped it on streaming platforms.

“Champagne Moments” arrived just hours after Drake dropped “Push Ups,” dissing Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin’, and Ross himself.

Drake has since posted Instagram stories taunting Ross for exaggerating his wealthy lifestyle, and accusing him of being “racist” for calling him a “white boy.” Drake, however, has not responded to Ross’ diss reply in the form of a song. Ross, however, is doubling down.

Tonight (April 23), Ross shared the music video for “Champagne Moments.”

The video is fairly simple. In the clip, Ross is seen in his garage, sipping Luc Belaire champagne, next to a luxury vehicle. Unbothered, he also smokes a cigar, while laughing about the whole ongoing matter.

During the part of the song where Ross implies that Drake had cosmetic surgery — “Yeah, you had that surgery, that six-pack gone. That’s why you wearin’ that funny sh*t at your show, you can’t hide it” — Ross lifts up his shirt, and laughs into the camera.

We’ll see how long it takes Drake to respond to this.

Rick Ross References Millie Bobby Brown Amidst Drake Beef

by

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

by

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.

WATCH: Rick Ross Asks Why Drake Let Birdman’s Miami Mansion Go Into Foreclosure

Birdman Want his Face Tattoos Removed

Rick Ross isn’t an easy troll. Drake attempted to shade Rick Ross by saying he isn’t as rich as him and poking fun at the size of his Star Island mansion. Rozay immediately clapped back, asking why Drake didn’t help Birdman avoid foreclosure.

“Your best friend, Birdman, his house went into foreclosure five years ago,” Drake said. “You done watched that man struggle for five years and ain’t got that man a mansion.”

He added, “If you got more money than Rozay, what’s another $50 million, white boy? There’s one for $40 on Indian Creek, there’s one for $50 on Star Island. You got 48 hours, white boy.”

In case you missed it, Birdman lost his Miami Beach in 2018 for failed mortgage payments, leading to selling at $5 million less than market value.

Birdman made a public statement about Drake during his array of beefs. Hitting Instagram, Birdman posted a message.

“@ChampagnePapi I’m ridin with you 4L I got ur bak,” Birdman wrote.

Seeing the moment, Rick Ross hopped right on Instagram:

After a week of back and forth on wax between Drake and Rick Ross, things seem to have gotten a little personal after Drake’s Ross diss “Push Ups(Drop And Give Me Fifty)” when Rozay responded with “Champagne Moments”, where the Maybach Music jefe alleges that the OVO head honcho had plastic surgery on his nose to make it smaller.

Ross wasted no time letting off shots at who he calls “BBL Drizzy” on the diss track, saying, “You ain’t never want to be a n**** anyway, n****/ That’s why you had a operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose, n****.”

In a hilarious response, Drake shared a text message exchange between him and his mother, where she asks him if he got a rhinoplasty procedure without her.

Drake jokes with his mom that Rozay has gone crazy on Mounjaro, a weight loss supplement, which he claims has Ross angry because he hasn’t eaten for days.

Ross responded on IG with jokes about Drizzy going to his mother about their rap beef while repeatedly calling him “white boy” because of his mixed heritage. He also dropped a message on X for anyone who with smoke with the Maybach boss:

Joe Budden Reacts to Logic’s “It Was a Good Day” Cover

To all rappers who are looking to hire escorts, fair warning: don’t tell them anything! Joe Budden revealed that his knowledge of how Drake moves comes from frequenting escorts.

“I think most of my Drake intel today comes from my love of escorts,” Budden said. “I’m not trying to be funny.”

He added, “The escorts are ground level to it all. The escorts are the CIA of the subway system.”

While Drake relies on escorts, his former podcast co-host gets direct insight.

Mal is back with more insights into the OVO Camp. On episode 260 of the New Rory and Mal podcast, Mal revealed he contacted Drake to check the temperature.

Mal asked Drake what he felt about Rick Ross’s diss song, “Champagne Moments.” Drake reacted, “He said he was richer than me and I turned it off.”

The remark is in response to the bars:

Look me right in my face, he beginning to shake
Told you niggas, “Stay schemin’”, I predicted my fate
Got more money than you, fuck you want me to say?
Fifty mill’ for the crib, where you want me to stay?

Rick Ross Disses Drake Over Birdman Foreclosure: “Don’t Do Stunna Like That”

by

Rick Ross doesn’t waste time. The Miami rapper had a response track ready three hours after the release of Drake’s “Push Ups” diss. DJ Akademiks posted a screenshot of Drake making fun of Ross’ fortune on Instagram, and Rozay claps back minutes later with a challenge. He wants Drake to put his money where his mouth is, and claimed that the rapper has 48 hours to help his label boss, Birdman, find a new home. He even scouted a few nearby locations to make the process easier.

Ross grabbed a bottle of Rose (naturally) and hopped on Instagram Live to issue his challenge. “I saw you say that you got more money than Ricky Rozay,” he said. “And let’s assume you did. Well your best friend, Birdman, his house went into foreclosure. You done watched that man struggle for five years and ain’t get that man a mansion.” Ross’ facts check out, as Birdman was forced to sell his baller mansion for $10.85 million in 2018. Birdman bought the mansion for $14.5 million, according to New York Post, which means he netted a loss of nearly $5 million.

Rick Ross Claims Drake Has An Old Jet

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Ross urged Drake to use his wealth to buy Birdman another mansion. “Cuse if you got more money than Rozay, what’s another $50 million, white boy? Don’t do Stunna like that. C’mon man.” The rapper threw in a few mocking bird sounds before setting a time on the clock. “48 hours, the countdown has begun,” he announced. Ross twisted the knife a bit further by telling Drake to be safe flying around in his “old” jet. “That’s a 1978, be safe on that, Drizzy.”

Rick Ross rightfully pointed out that none of his MMG artists have been kicked out of their homes. “Ain’t none of my n***as went in foreclosure,” the rapper yelled. Ross may have less money in his bank account than Drake, but the decision to involve Birdman is smart given the label boss recently voiced his support for Drake in the ongoing beef. Stunna wrote “I’m ridin with you 4L” on his IG Story, which should come as no surprise given the antagonistic relationship he’s had with Ross over the years.
