Drake has enemies. If you’ve been keeping track as Uproxx has he actually has a quite a lot of enemies. Over the last few weeks, the public has learned that the “First Person Shooter” rapper has had several dust-ups online and on record. But heavy is the head that carries the genre’s record-breaking, charting success.

Between The Weeknd and Nav to the estate of Tupac, Drake has taken several shots across the industry. Asap Rocky claimed to have intimately been with the mother of Drake’s son Adonis. Rick Ross accused his former friend of getting a nose job to combat his “racial insecurities.” Even, Ye (better known as Kanye West), questioned the true nature of Drake’s 2022 deal with Universal Music Group.

Slowly, but surely, Drake has begun to chip away at each record’s rumors. So, on Drake’s latest response track, “Family Matters,” he used a mixture of pet names and legal names to clapback at his opposition. Here you can learn who about Fring. But, that still leaves Leland Wayne to be revealed.

Continue below for answers.

So, Who Is Leland Wayne From Drake’s “Family Matters” Diss Song?

Sandwiched between lines, Drake fires off rounds at Kendrick Lamar, Ross, and The Weeknd. But there are some names listeners did not immediately recognize, including Leland Wayne. So, who is Wayne? Let’s just say it isn’t a family relative of Drake’s mentor and longtime friend, Lil Wayne.

The mystery man in question is none other than Metro Boomin. While the world may refer to him by his stage name, the producer’s family simply know Leland Tyler Wayne. For whatever artistic reason, Drake decided to go with Boomin’s legal name, according to KBIA (an outlet near Boomin’s hometown of St. Louis, Missouri). Could it be an intimidation tactic? Possibly. Or it might have been creative way to include his archenemy into his witty lines without the need for any metaphoric heavy lifting.

After reading the stanza below aimed at Metro Boomin, the latter seems to be the best bet.

Pluto sh*t make me sick to my stomach / We ain’t never really been through it Leland Wayne, he a f*ckin’ lame, so I know he had to be an influence / These n****s had a plan and they finally found a way to rope you into it / Two separate albums dissin’, I just did a Kim to it, n****, skim through it

Who Is Fring From Drake’s ‘Family Matters’ Diss?

As users online pointed out, the last thirty days in hip-hop culture have mirrored Marvel Studios’ Captain America: Civil War. This can all be traced back to Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s bubbling stock pot of problems.

Every few days another one of rap music’s stars have either been reluctantly drafted into the war of words (Snoop Dogg and the estate of Tupac) or willingLu enlisted into the conflict (Ye, better known as Kanye West).

But the musicians’ latest round of diss tracks seem to be riddled with insider knowledge, which has left fans confused about several references. On Drake’s new track “Family Matters,” he cryptically named drop a few folks including one Fring, leaving listeners scrambling to decipher his lines.

So, Who Is Fring From Drake’s “Family Matters” Diss Track?

Outside of his ongoing feud with Kendrick, Drake admittedly has a lot of enemies. Instead of dedicating yet another track to the Compton native, Drake took jabs at another foe, Asap Rocky. When Drake rapped: “Ask Fring if this is a good idea the next time you cuddled in that bed again / She’ll even tell you leave the boy alone ‘fore you get your head split again.”

If this line was clear enough, the preceding bar, “Smokin’ Fenty ‘bout it, should’ve put you on the first one / Try get it in,” shoud’ve provided you with all the context you needed. On “Show Of Hands,” Asap joked with Metro Boomin and Future that he should have been included on the duo’s first joint project, We Don’t Trust You.

The most obvious reference in Drake’s lyric is Fenty, as it is Rihanna’s last name. Rihanna having dated Drake in the past and as Asap’s current partner as well as children’s mother for anyone who needed further assistance piecing everything together, there it is.

But exactly is Fring anyway? Well, Fring’s is a restaurant in Drake hometown of Toronto, Canada that he has publicly supported over the years. It might also have served as a pet name for Rihanna according to his 2015 conversation with New York Times’ T Magazine.

Given what Asap Rocky revealed about his past entanglement with the mother of Drake’s son Adonis, many find Drake’s remarks about Rihanna to be fair game.

Rick Ross’ Private Jet Crash Landed, But The Rapper Managed To Find Humor In The Traumatic Incident Amid Drake Feud

So far, Drake and Rick Ross’ brewing beef hasn’t expanded beyond the studio. However, the “Champagne Moments” rapper joked that his foe might have taken it to the friendly skies.

Yesterday (May 3), on Instagram, a Drake fan page revealed that Ross’ private jet made a crash landing in Dallas, Texas. Initially, users online were hesitation to believe the claim made by Keep 6ix Solid, given the long list of allegations tossed around by the two entertainers. However, the jet covered in Ross’ personal and record label branding made it difficult to refute.

With the outlet’s post gaining traction, Ross took to his social media pages to confirm the story. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he managed to find humor in the traumatic incident.

“My jet just crashed,” he wrote. “Drake’s OVO F16 fighter jet just shot us down.”

Ross’ joke pointed out the irony in the situation after he spent the last few weeks clowning Drake for supposedly having a relic aircraft. He also alleged that Air Drake wasn’t intended for human passengers making it unsafe to travel in. So Ross’ jet being temporarily grounded is a sick twist of events.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the crash. Well, that’s not including Ross’ ego. He continued the unsavory joke in a dramatized and factually inaccurate recounting of the moments leading to the crash. View the full clip originally shared to Instagram below.

“Everybody inside your team is whispering you deserve it
Can’t Tootsie Slide out of this one it’s just gone resurface

by
Kendrick Bonnaroo001

Drake denied hiding another child but is mute toward the allegations of sex trafficking. In “Meet The Grahams,” Kendrick Lamar levied allegations against Drake and the entire OVO crew.

Blasting the men around Drake, Kendrick rapped: “He’s got sex offenders on OVO that he keeps on a monthly allowance.” Before targeting a verse toward another seemingly hidden child, he also rapped:

Katt Williams said, “Get you the truth,” so I’ma get mines
The Embassy ’bout to get raided, too, it’s only a matter of time
Ayy, LeBron, keep the family away, hey, Curry, keep the family away
To anybody that embody the love for they kids, keep the family away
They lookin’ at you too if you standin’ by him, keep the family away
I’m lookin’ to shoot through any pervert that lives, keep the family safe

In the scratching and intense diss track, Lamar penned personal letters to Drake’s son, Adonis, mom and dad, Sandra and Dennis, and the biggest one; another alleged hidden child. In the song, Lamar speaks to the unidentified 11-year-old daughter:

I’m sorry that your father not active inside your world
He don’t commit to much but his music, yeah, that’s for sure
He a narcissist, misogynist, livin’ inside his songs
Try destroy families rather than takin’ care of his own
Should be teachin’ you time tables or watchin’ Frozen with you
Or at your eleventh birthday, singin’ poems with you
Instead, he be in Turks, payin’ for sex and poppin’ Percs, examples that you don’t deserve
I wanna tell you that you’re loved, you’re brave, you’re kind
You got a gift to change the world, and could change your father’s mind
‘Cause our children is the future, but he lives inside confusion
Money’s always been illusion, but that’s the life he’s used to
His father prolly didn’t claim him neither
History do repeats itself, sometimes it don’t need a reason
But I would like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hidin’ another child
Give him grace, this the reason I made Mr. Morale
So our babies like you can cope later
Give you some confidence to go through somethin’, it’s hope later
I never wanna hear you chase a man ’cause his failed behavior
Sittin’ in the club with sugar daddies for validation
You need to know that love is eternity and trumps all pain
I’ll tell you who your father is, just play this song when it rains
Yes, he’s a hitmaker, songwriter, superstar, right
And a fuckin’ deadbeat that should never say “more life”

Drake Drops "Family Matters" Diss, Says Kendrick Lamar Committed Domestic Violence

This Friday night (May 3) will go down in Hip-Hop history. After Kendrick Lamar fired off “6:16 in LA,” Drake unleashed “Family Matters.”

The new diss track continued where “Push Ups” left off, levying allegations of domestic violence on Kendrick Lamar while also stating that he cheated on his fiancee Whitney Alford and they have a relationship that will never reach marriage. Additionally, Drake says Kendrick Lamar’s son may belong to his pgLang co-founder, Dave Free.

And Drake didn’t forget all his other foes, claiming the Future beef hurts him while also examining his desire to team with Metro Boomin for two albums of Sahde. Drake continues to call Rick Ross an officer, hint at The Weeknd being a member of the LGTBQ community, and says his music only belongs in places with a lot of “pride.” He also doubled back to A$AP Rocky, suggesting he continue his fashion lane and appear next to Rihanna.

In the video, Drake pulls back up to New Ho King, flexes Pharrell’s chains, and destroys a minivan similar to the one from the Good Kid, m.A.A.d City album cover.

You can hear it all below.

Memphis Bleek Is Team Kendrick Lamar After Multiple Drake Disses

by

Memphis Bleek started the legendary battle between Jay-Z and Nas. He took shots at Nas on his 2000 single “My Mind Right,” and the subsequent back-and-forth led to his label boss getting in the mix. It’s a little apocryphal (Jay and Nas already issues), but it proves that Bleek knows what he’s talking about when it comes to diss records. Bleek took time away from promoting his upcoming podcast to discuss the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle. He made it very clear that he was backing the kid from Compton.

Bleek got on X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the release of Lamar’s devious diss “Euphoria.” He not only praised Lamar’s lyricism, but he took people who didn’t appreciate the song to task for not being real rap fans. “I can’t believe it’s people who really think that K. Dot record [trash],” he wrote. “Glad I’m not one of them cause he walked on that joint.”

A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)

Memphis Bleek and Kendrick Lamar have never crossed paths, but the former has been sampled on multiple Lamar songs. “LOYALTY,” K. Dot’s 2017 duet with Rihanna, samples the Roc-A-Fella posse cut “Get Your Mind Right Mami.” We have to take it much further back for Lamar’s “The Heart Part 2,” which dropped in 2010 and samples the same exact Bleek collab from 2000.

Bleek isn’t the only Roc-A-Fella member who has backed Lamar in the Drake battle. Dame Dash, Bleek’s former label boss, recently detailed the ways in which “Euphoria” dismantled Drizzy. “As a man, I thought that that was the most logical, grown man, battle rap, sh*t that you could say,” Dash claimed. “A father really enjoys hearing about how fly it is to be a dad. F*ck all that dumb sh*t. If you ain’t a dad it don’t matter.” Kanye West has also chosen Lamar’s side, and even recorded a remix to the diss song that kicked this whole battle off.

Jay-Z is the glaring Roc-A-Fella name who has yet to weigh in on which rapper he prefers. Given that Hov has praised and worked with both Lamar and Drake in the past, though, he’s probably being smart by staying out of it.
