Drake Accused Of Getting Angry At IG Model For Assuming His Sexual Intentions

by

Drake has had a lot of wild stories floating around him this year, and this latest one is no less salacious. Moreover, it comes from models Rebecca J and Amanda Nicole on a podcast episode. They were playing “smash or pass” with rappers, and after dismissing 6ix9ine, they got around to the subject of Drake. Nicole said that she’s been on a couple of dates with him, and though nothing happened, she called him “really cute” for his “dorky past.” On the other hand, Rebecca claimed that her interaction with the 6ix God actually made him really mad due to her presuming that he would want something sexual.

“So Drake actually slid into my DMs,” Rebecca J claimed. “Girl, he blocked me after! *laughs* Drake, you better not block this girl because of me. Basically, he wanted to take me out. And just because my Instagram is so overly sexual, I was just like, you know, I’ll go out with you, but I’m just kind of establishing the boundary. Like, just so you know, I’m not that type of girl.

Rebecca J And Amanda Nicole’s Drake Claims

“And he got so pissed, girl,” Rebecca J alleged concerning Drake. “He sent me a freaking paragraph this long. Like, ‘I can’t believe you think I’m that type of guy, you’re so presumptuous for thinking that. You’ve listed all these great qualities in a woman and you don’t…’ Like, just this whole rattle. Girl, [he] hammered in on me. He just started un-sending the messages and then blocked me. I was like, this guy’s incredible. Anyways, moving on…” They then asked again whether the “No Face” MC was a “smash or pass,” and Rebecca answered with “I guess we’ll never know.”

No matter where you fall on this debate, it’s pretty clear that they both could’ve handled the situation better. Regardless, it seems like Drake is having a good time these days, as fans recently spotted him in Miami. We can assume that he’s taking all these narratives and new tales about him in stride, as the beef with Kendrick Lamar and others is starting to die down. Of course, Drizzy himself is one of the ones who’s still fueling it today, but for him, success is the best revenge. We’ll see if he ever addresses Rebecca and Amanda one day, whether it’s to apologize or to characterize those interactions as “her loss.”

Drake Turns Up With Travis Scott In New “100 GIGS” Footage Amid Supposed Beef

by

Drake and Travis Scott are arguably hip-hop’s two biggest hitmakers right now, so their collaborative bond should come as no surprise. Moreover, this is a relationship that the former highlighted on his @plottttwistttttt IG burner, part of his “100 GIGS” content drop series. In the clip, they both vibe out at a party to the tunes of their “P***y & Millions” collab off Drizzy’s 2022 21 Savage joint album Her Loss, as well as “Beast” by Golomp. However, many fans were particularly interested in this clip because of the supposed beef that the “SICKO MODE” duo has with each other now.

For those unaware, this theory emerged amid Drake’s various 2024 beefs with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, and more. Fans thought that Travis Scott picked a side with his actions, although his subsequent shoutouts to Drake hint toward this just being a speculative assumption. As such, it’s hard to fully get a grasp of what’s going on here and what their relationship looks like now. Apparently, fans will need some more concrete evidence to really set this rumor aside.

Also, this is particularly curious because of Drake’s other content that he shared via this “100 GIGS” platform. For example, he also included a classic clip of Kanye West crediting him with inspiring his Watch The Throne collab album with Jay-Z in 2011. Another video shows the Toronto superstar linking up with J. Cole to buy a whole lot of Born Sinner copies at a Best Buy in 2013. Given the complicated history that he shares with Ye and Cole, it stands to reason that this footage with Travis Scott could also function along this bizarre and potentially shady line, reflecting on the allies that he lost on the way.

Nevertheless, this is all just the latest stop on the gossip train, so take this all with a grain of salt. It’s still ironic, especially as Travis Scott’s Kendrick Lamar collab “goosebumps” just went Diamond. So we’ll see whether Drake or La Flame ever fuel these rumors or if they quell them outright. Until then, all we can do is guess.

DJ Akademiks Explains Why Drake Will “Win Game 2” Against Kendrick Lamar & Company

by

As if folks didn’t get enough this year, hip-hop culture entertains a very interesting possibility these days: will Drake “win Game 2” as he proclaimed in an Instagram Story? Many folks feel like the series against Kendrick Lamar and company already ended, especially as the Compton lyricist and his camp reportedly have no interest in revisiting their victory. But OVO fans staunchly maintain that their fav will emerge victorious in the end, whether by literally changing the outcome of the battle or flaunting his success in spite of his loss. It’s unclear what possibility DJ Akademiks believes in, but as he showed during his recent livestream, he’s still ten toes down for The Boy.

“But Game 2, we will win,” DJ Akademiks expressed. “Game 2, we will win. That’s a fact. If you think Drake finna abandon and forsake all them fans, you got to realize, this for the fans right here. You think he gon’ let some p***y a** n***as have something over him, his legacy, and his fans? No! Aye, chat, f**k that. This the new thing: Drake in five. Drake in five, people, Drake in five. Remember I told you that.

DJ Akademiks Thinks Drake Will Win In The End

“Drake. In five,” DJ Akademiks emphasized. “Drake in five. No, no, no, no, we ain’t doing six. Five. What’s understood don’t need to be explained. Y’all are going to watch it. Listen, listen, we got to see where the game starts. We got to see, bro. Just watch Game 2, bro. Just watch Game 2. We ain’t got to tell you the game plan. This ain’t Steve Kerr, n***a. F**k you think, we Gregg Popovich?” Again, what little rumblings we’ve heard on Kendrick Lamar’s end point to this being a one-sided effort.

Meanwhile, all this speculation from DJ Akademiks and others is irrelevant until we really know what “Game 2” means. Is it literally a second round of the Kendrick Lamar battle, will Drake focus on his other opponents, or does “winning Game 2” instead mean just being the biggest rapper of them all? No one really believed that he would lose that status immediately, right? Regardless, we’ll have to patiently wait until we actually have a concrete idea of this epilogue.

ASAP Rocky Catches Heat For His Dismissive Drake Beef Comments

by

ASAP Rocky and Drake exchanged a lot of shots this year, and they will probably send more each other’s way in the near future. This is especially true these days, as folks think that Drizzy dissed Rocky on the recent “It’s Up” and considering that the New York rapper will drop an album very soon. In fact, he already allegedly dissed his Toronto enemy on the single “HIGHJACK.” Regardless, what people are really talking about these days are comments from the A$AP Mob member about this feud, which basically dismissed this whole thing. This didn’t sit well with some folks, especially the OVO camp.

“You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” A$AP Rocky remarked about the Drake beef. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.” Some detractors thought that Rocky tried too hard to sidestep actually engaging with this feud, whereas others took shots at his supposedly false street ties.

Fans Blast ASAP Rocky’s Words For Drake

But the biggest likelihood is that A$AP Rocky simply chose to focus on his album Don’t Be Dumb rather than the Drake beef. The 6ix God seems to be taking a similar approach these days, so we can probably expect some subliminal shots back and forth either way. After all, they love to shade subtly and not overtly, and they have plenty of reason to do so engagement-wise now that everyone is combing through tracks for potential disses. But DBD faced yet another delay, so we will have to wait a little more for this. Find critical reactions to this development down below.

More Reactions

Meanwhile, another bizarre Drake comment as of late came from none other than Kanye West. He dedicated “I Wonder” to him and Ian Connor at the VULTURES listening event in Korea, which confused many fans. Did Ye mean this shoutout as a diss or is he once again walking back his previous negative comments about his “Glow” collaborator? I mean, it’s too many options…

Kanye West Dedicates A Track To Drake At “VULTURES” Listening Event And Fans Are Very Confused

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s recent VULTURES listening party in Korea on Thursday night (August 22) was more bizarre than most, and that’s saying something. Moreover, the reason why people raised their eyebrows at this particular event has to do with the former artist’s mention of one of his former friends turned current rivals. “This one’s for Drake, this one’s for Ian Connor,” Ye told the crowd when “I Wonder” started to play. Considering the track’s lyrical content and the questionable backgrounds of these figures, some fans took this as a diss about them being unable to find their dreams or a legitimate shoutout.

Either way, fans expressed confusion over this on social media, and aren’t really stepping in to defend neither Drake nor Ian Connor. Well, for Drizzy, a lot of fans think that Kanye West is just using his name for clout or once again walking back his previously negative stance on him. This year, that stance manifested into a “Like That” remix amid the Toronto rapper’s many beefs and plenty of disparaging comments down the line. Perhaps the sheer defeat he faced at the hands of Kendrick Lamar made Ye more sympathetic to his plight.

Jokes aside, some recent new footage of both Kanye West and Drake paints this picture in a more complicated fashion. Ye spoke to Candace Owens in a resurfaced 2022 interview about the 6ix God. “Drake is the best rapper ever by the numbers. Jay-Z is the greatest rapper ever by the inspiration,” he remarked. It’s funny that all these three artists collaborated on a song five years after Aubrey pretty much provoked Ye and Hov’s Watch The Throne album in a competitive fashion.

Meanwhile, as part of his 100 GIGS footage release, Drake showed off the process behind creating the hook for Kanye West’s “Yikes.” As such, it’s a bizarre time to view the relationship between these two titans of the music industry. Fans have as much access to their collaborative highs as they do to their pettily personal lows. We’ll see whether Ye explains this dedication, and whether they will ever reconcile.

ASAP Rocky Finally Breaks His Silence On Drake Beef

by

ASAP Rocky’s new Billboard cover story is an expansive piece, which should come as no surprise. After all, he’s just as involved in music as he is in fashion and film these days, and his family life with Rihanna and their children supersedes all of that. But of course, there was no way that the outlet wasn’t going to ask about the Harlem creative’s beef with Drake, one of many stemming from a group of Kendrick Lamar-led artists dissing the Toronto superstar this year. While his thoughts definitely fulfill a fan-fueled need to learn more about their rift, his comments also make it clear that he considers this a largely irrelevant footnote when he’ll look back at 2024.

“You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” A$AP Rocky’s words on the Drake beef began. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

ASAP Rocky & Drake At The FIFA 14 Launch

As such, it seems like A$AP Rocky’s pot shots at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show Of Hands,” plus the ones that Drizzy for him on cuts like “Family Matters,” are just that to him: pot shots. They’re boastful but well-documented bars from two MCs who don’t like each other, but it was never going to escalate to the level of a full-blown battle. Perhaps Rocky’s next album Don’t Be Dumb will contain even more disses, but it’s clear that it’s not a focal point. It’s just lyrical content like any other in the rap game.

Meanwhile, for those unaware, A$AP Rocky and Drake’s beef might stem back to when the former first started dating Rihanna, leading up to their marriage. The fact that it seems like a petty exchange over women they’ve both been with and whether or not they’re dropping good albums makes it even more likely that not much will come from this feud. Again, we have to wait until Don’t Be Dumb to fully see, as the 6ix God may have dissed Rocky again on the recent “It’s Up” with Young Thug and 21 Savage. But if it does continue, their jabs will be nothing like the actual showdown with Kendrick Lamar, and neither lyricist probably wants to take it there at this point.

Lil Yachty Sends Drake Fans Into A Frenzy By Unfollowing Him On IG

by

It seems like fans will spend “Another Late Night” theorizing and speculating as to who Drake is beefing with next. Moreover, some eagle-eyed fans on social media recently noticed that Lil Yachty seemed to unfollow him on Instagram. This shocked a lot of admirers thanks to the duo’s strong collaborative and personal relationship prior to this, as well as the fact that they engaged with each other online as much as in person. Furthermore, OVO and Concrete supporters immediately got into detective mode, speculating that the supposed upcoming release of Drizzy’s “Supersoak” has something to do with it.

If you didn’t already know, DJ Akademiks previewed a clip of the music video for this song, which originally featured Lil Yachty. In fact, it was Yachty who leaked the original collab version of the song to Kai Cenat for him to play it on his livestream. This was because they couldn’t clear the sample, as the sampled artist Mr. Hotspot’s religious views prompted him to demand a clean version of the team-up. With this new development in mind, many speculate that Mr. Hotspot is mad at Yachty for revealing all this on a podcast, and told the 6ix God that he could drop it if he removed his partner.

Lil Yachty Seemingly Unfollows Drake

Of course, that’s just an unfounded theory, and so will any others before one of them actually speaks out about it. Still, we’re not even inclined to believe that this indicates a rift between the two, as it could just as easily be a promo tactic. Nevertheless, it’s not like Drake and Lil Yachty’s relationship has all been peaches and cream. For example, the latter’s thoughts on the former’s beef with Kendrick Lamar resulted in considerable uproar from the Toronto superstar’s die-hards.

Regardless, we’ll see if Drake and Lil Yachty speak on this at any point. It’s not like every fan loved this collab, but fans worry about this partnership fading. After all, they picked a pretty contentious and controversial moment to stir even more rumors about who is or isn’t beefing. Are they bamboozling us just to troll or is there something deeper going on?

DJ Akademiks Chimes In On Rumors That Nicki Minaj Dissed Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR

by

A lot of people are thirsty for more Drake beef this year, whether they’re the most ardent of OVO Stans or the biggest Drizzy haters this side of Compton. But many of his fans also know to be wary of narratives and speculation that people are hating on him or that he’s hating on others, and a fanbase that relates to this caution all too well is the army of Barbz that is analyzing Nicki Minaj’s latest livestream. Moreover, she seemed to refer to “ugly boy 1” and “ugly boy 1” for working with “ugly girls,” and many on both sides took this to mean that she was angry at the 6ix God and his OVO partner PARTYNEXTDOOR for working with Latto and Ice Spice respectively.

“Yo, Nicki is f***ing petty, bro,” DJ Akademiks said of the alleged Nicki Minaj, Drake, and PARTYNEXTDOOR situation. “I can’t believe that Nicki really treats the music industry like it’s high school. People are making money, man, people are making millions of dollars. You’re making millions of dollars. People are gonna collab with who they want. None of the beef that y’all have is that serious because, otherwise, you’d be pulling up on these b***hes.”

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Nicki Minaj’s Possible Drake & PND Disses

But again, for many Drake and Nicki Minaj fans alike, this narrative from Ak and others doesn’t make too much sense. For one, a lot of Barbz are claiming that Nicki had prefaced this by saying that they were going to make up a fake story to prove how quick the media is to grab headlines… Which is a really weird way of going about it, but it seems to have worked if true. On the other hand, the Young Money partners were doing great right amid the Kendrick battle, it seems like she played their collabs after her rant during this livestream, and there aren’t really any valid or surefire indicators of who she’s talking about in her rant other than recent context informing fans’ interpretations.

As such, there might be at least some friction with these collaborations, but we doubt that there’s actually any beef to report on here. A similar conclusion applies to the alleged beef between Drake and Lil Wayne, with Weezy sending some interesting signals as of late. But just like with this Nicki Minaj situation, we doubt that Ak and others are accurate in fully believing it. Nevertheless, only time will tell, so we’ll see what continues to happen with Young Money in the public eye…

Drake & Chubbs’ Posts About Team USA & Steph Curry Further Fuel LeBron James Beef Rumors

by

We don’t know how we got to caring about whether or not super famous men are salty with one another… But here we are after a rap beef that absolutely took over pop culture. Moreover, as a result of his Kendrick Lamar battle, you might have heard that Drake is allegedly beefing with LeBron James, or at least, that’s what a lot of social media-obsessed fans think even after LBJ himself seemed to dismiss these rumors. The reason? Well, those on the gossip train theorize that it’s because the basketball star attended K.Dot’s “The Pop Out” concert and basically supported his music but also had praise for Drizzy’s competitive efforts.

The latest piece of “evidence” concerning Drake and LeBron James’ alleged falling out comes after Team USA’s victory over France for the gold medal in men’s basketball for the 2024 Olympics, a game that went down on Saturday (August 10). The 6ix God took to his “plot twist” Finsta account, responsible for his 100 GIGS drop, to post a picture of longtime OVO fan Steph Curry hitting his signature “sleep” pose (sorry if there’s another name for it) during the game. Aubrey Graham’s bodyguard Chubbs, another player in the Kendrick Lamar battle, also omitted LeBron from his Instagram congratulations for the team, instead congratulating Steph, Kevin Durant, and Jayson Tatum.

Drake & Chubbs Have Fans Thinking They’re Shading LeBron James

While LeBron James’ own Instagram activity suggested that he has no issues with Drake, it’s still up in the air whether that’s a two-way street or not. Also, it’s curious because during a recent GQ Sports profile, Steph Curry made it clear that he’s still rocking with the MC who shouted him out on “0 To 100.” “I’m a big Drake guy,” he remarked. “I’ve been for a long time. I think obviously you know what it is for the rap industry to have that, but I still rock with Drake. Absolutely. Absolutely.”

Also, we know that Steph Curry and LeBron James feel very differently about Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” diss track against Drake. LeBron still loves it, and Steph is ready for the hype to end. Will this alleged beef ever clear up or will we never hear of it again? Time will tell…

Joe Budden Says He Makes A Million Dollars Every Time He Talks About Drake

by

Joe Budden and Drake have a very complicated relationship, one that the former is very happy to speak on and speak on and speak on… Moreover, during the most recent episode of the Slaughterhouse rapper’s self-titled podcast, he specifically ranted against artists that are bringing up his own pivot from his rap career into podcasting against him. But Budden made it clear that there’s only one person who can ever really criticize him in this regard, and that’s the 6ix God. Why does he have that special privilege? Well, Joe suggests that, since talking about Drizzy makes him a lot of money, he’s one of the only ones who have actually been able to be as successful as Joe wanted to be with his original plan to be a hip-hop artist.

“I move the way I move,” Joe Budden remarked on his podcast. “If n***as got a problem with it, in the great words of -– no pun -– Cardi, ‘If it’s up, then it stuck!‘ When Drake drops a diss, I make a million dollars. None of y’all have that equity! No, it’s too many people out there that think that I have something to gain from speaking highly or lowly about you n***as. That little box is reserved for him! I’ma come in here and talk about that n***a’s diss tracks whether I like it or not! It’s happened too many times. That’s gonna be a good month.”

Joe Budden Speaks On Drake’s Profitability

Speaking of that Cardi B beef, one of the things that she brought up against Joe Budden is how he’s a clown in her eyes for speculating on Drake’s alleged $400 million deal with UMG. “Stop being a f***ing hater,” she remarked. “I’ll f***ing tour till I’m 65 if somebody gives me $400M. $400M that you don’t have… Everything that somebody do good, you always hate on it. That’s bad, that’s terrible. You always hating on something.”

Also, Joe Budden’s hot takes on Drake usually extend to his fanbase, too. “If you’re talking to a Drake fan, that don’t mean you’re talking to a hip-hop fan,” he recently posited. Of course, many wildly misinterpreted this statement online as a claim that Drake fans are not hip-hop fans. As Budden and Aubrey prove time and time again, the line between critique and cruel hating is a very thin one on either side.
