Ice Spice is one of the biggest young artists in hip-hop right now and it is all thanks to her breakout single “Munch.” Overall, this viral hit catapulted her to superstardom. She immediately got features with Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, while also getting a brief Drake co-sign. Furthermore, she had a successful debut EP that has positioned her nicely for her debut album Y2K which is going to come out this Friday. It only has 10 songs, and we have already heard four of the singles.
Over the past week or so, Ice Spice has been making waves thanks to her supposed relationship with Central Cee. Many have stated that this was all for publicity although the jury is still out on that. What we do know is that Central Cee’s ex is not happy with what she has seen. As a result, Ice Spice opted to pour some salt in the wound by taking to IG and doing some push-ups. It was here where she said “mood after takin ha manzzz.” Unfortunately for Ice Spice, her push-up form left a lot to be desired.
“She ain’t even doing them right tf,” one person wrote over on No Jumper. “4 push up wow so buff,” wrote another. Regardless of these comments, all eyes will be on Ice Spice come Friday. If her new album cannot live up to the hype, there is no telling what she will do next. After all, a debut album can be make or break for a lot of artists. This is especially true for Ice Spice given her first four singles did not have the impact fans would have hoped.
Let us know how you feel about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Y2K is going to be a phenomenal debut album? Are you a fan of Ice Spice and her antics or have you soured on the artist since last year? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Drake wasn’t kidding when he said “summer vibes.” The rapper has made a complete 180 since he ended his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. He stopped taunting his opponent on social media, and he stopped dropping diss tracks. To make matters even worse, he took down his last diss, “The Heart Part 6,” on Instagram. Some fans theorized that the rapper did so because he wasn’t proud of that song in particular. This theory went out the window on June 5, however, when Drake decided to take ALL of his Lamar disses off Instagram.
Drake deleted the IG links for “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” He also took down the audio link and music video link for “Family Matters.” The last of the bunch, the aforementioned “The Heart Part 6,” was taken down the day prior. It’s a shocking turn of events, given how aggressive Drake was in wanting to battle Lamar early on. Drake evidently wants to start a new chapter. He posted pics of himself from a photoshoot involving a Rolex watch. Tellingly, though, the rapper makes reference to one of Lamar’s big accusations in the caption. He ignored the notion that his OVO crew is compromised, and wrote: “The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer.”
Fans absolutely tore into Drake upon realizing that he took the K. Dot disses down. They brought up the fact that he previously criticized rappers for being “tweeters and deleters” when it came to taking shots. “Didn’t he say ‘tweeters and deleters’ lmao even he knew he lost,” wrote one user. Another claimed that we were finally witnessing what Kanye West wanted to see all along. “We are witnessing the elimination of Drake in real time,” they tweeted. There were tons of responses that conveyed the sentiment that the 6 God wanted to move on from the Lamar battle because he lost so handily. “He wants y’all to forget about that a*s whoopin lol,” an amused follower wrote.
There were those who defended Drake. Some fans noted that he’s likely getting ready to launch a new album cycle, and wanted to clean up his profile. It’s something many artists do as a means of denoting a new era. “Every artist cleans their socials before a big drop,” one person tweeted. “All the songs are still on streaming platforms, that’s all that matters.”
Fans Clowned Drake For “His “Tweeting And Deleting”
Regardless of whether the disses are on streaming, the decision to remove them from IG was seen by most as Drake waving the white flag once again. Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to Drake’s latest decision. Do you think it was a bad idea? Is Drake gearing up to drop something new? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
drake deleted all mentions of kendrick lamar disses from his ig and uploaded a picture smoking hookah mannnnnn this is COMEDY i’m sorry pic.twitter.com/UKU5SGhKso
The beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been a massive commercial pull. The back and forth spawned multiple top 10 hits, numerous 20 hits, and even a few number ones. The two songs that kicked things off, “First Person Shooter” last year and “Like That” earlier this year both debuted at the top spot on the Hot 100. The former spent multiple weeks at the top spot and is still just outside the top 10 on this week’s edition. “Euphoria,” “meet the grahams,” “Family Matters,” and “Push-Ups” are all also still included on this weeks Hot 100.
It’s that final track “Push-Ups” that has reached a new milestone this week. The song peaked at number 17 on the Hot 100 and currently sits at number 74 in its 5th week. In the meantime, it’s also racked up tons of streams on Spotify. The song just became Drake’s most recent to hit 100 million streams. While the incredible achievement is rare for most artists, Drizzy has an astonishingly large collection of them. “Push-Ups” is his 248th song to reach 100 million streams, which is more than double any other rapper has on the platform. Unsurprisingly, Drizzy currently sits as the #7 most-streamed artist on Spotify this month.
The achievements of nearly every other song in the beef are dwarfed by Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.” It became yet another song to debut at the top spot on the Hot 100 last month. It’s stuck around in the top 5 ever since and is expected to remain there for at least the next two weeks. It also broke multiple records, even ones held by Drake, for its Spotify streams in the first 24 hours.
What do you think of “Push-Ups” hitting 100 million streams on Spotify in the wake of Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar? Do you think it’s impressive that he has more than twice as many songs hitting that milestone as any of his contemporaries? Let us know in the comment section below.
Recently, 21 Savage and Metro Boomin went live on Instagram. As you can imagine, this was an exciting prospect for all of the fans out there. However, things eventually devolved quickly as Metro wasn’t speaking on the stream. Instead, he was goofing off in the comments section with some hilarious roasts for 21. For instance, he called the artist “OVO Savage.” Once 21 noticed this, he immediately kicked Metro out of the live and jokingly threatened to block him.
Furthermore, he went on to invoke Drake’s diss against Metro from the song “Push Ups.” “Metro shut your h*e as* up and make some drums n***a,” 21 said on the live stream. While some fans may think this was serious, it seemed pretty obvious that this was all a joke and in good fun. 21 is committed to not taking any sides, and after almost a decade, Metro and 21 have a rapport that only they could really describe. Hopefully, the fans won’t take this too seriously.
Let us know what you thought about this exchange between 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that these two were just joking here? Or do you believe that there is actually some animosity? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Pressure can either burst pipes or make diamonds. The messy outcome that transpired this weekend between Drake and Kendrick Lamar affirms the reality behind that statement. Things became far too personal, forcing each MC to put their best foot forward in an attempt to stay ahead or, at the very least, neutralize their opponent. But for spectators of the sport of rap, this has been an excellent showing of two of the most celebrated MCs of this era in their element. However, this tension isn’t something that just began. It’s been brewing for over a decade and reached its boiling point when Kendrick unleashed his verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” It reportedly came as a response to J Cole’s “Big 3” line on “First Person Shooter,” a song that allegedly attempted to see Drake bring his peers together as a united front before going on hiatus.
Ultimately, whether done in good faith or not, the No. 1 song off of For All The Dogs triggered tension within hip-hop circles. The public only began to feel its effects in March 2024 with the release of the first of Future and Metro Boomin’s joint albums, We Don’t Trust You. Metro and Future seemed to campaign these albums as a Drake takedown. However, it became even more clear in recent days that, except for Rick Ross, everyone else was basically hiding behind Kendrick Lamar.
Below is a timeline of critical songs that have played a significant role in the battle between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. It should be noted that this is based on purely diss songs – not one-off subliminal bars. Therefore, we will not be counting Future and Metro Boomin’s back-to-back albums or any other track outside of “Like That” from those projects.
March 26, 2024: Future & Metro Boomin – “Like That” Ft. Kendrick Lamar
It’s a treat to see Kendrick Lamar’s name attached to any tracklist as a featured artist, but no one really knew what they were jumping into when they heard “Like That” for the first time. The infectious bop, which has undoubtedly had radio, clubs, and social media in a stronghold since its release, swelled into one of the biggest songs of the year due to Kendrick’s verse. In the song, Dot makes it clear that the concept of the “Big 3” is obsolete – only one person could sit on the throne, and it is not Drake or J Cole. What’s worse is that both Kendrick and Metro have alleged that Drake tried to block the song’s release in different capacities.
In the midst of catching a stray on “Like That,” J Cole succumbed to the pressure of social media and decided to try and gun for Kendrick’s neck on “7 Minute Drill,” the outro to his otherwise excellent mixtape, Might Delete Later. Though the public (clearly easily persuaded) believed this was an adequate release song, it did fall flat on a few occasions. For instance, Cole’s attempt to discredit Kendrick’s catalog could’ve been something flipped easily back on him.
The public praised Cole for nearly 72 hours but what we didn’t know is that behind closed doors, Cole was riddled with regret. He took to the stage at his annual Dreamville Festival, where he offered an apology to Kendrick, referred to the song as one of the lamest things that he’s done in his career, and announced that he would remove it from streaming services. He kept his word and hasn’t really been heard from since.
April 13th, 2024: Drake – “Push Ups” (Officially Released On April 19th)
In the weeks after We Don’t Trust You, it became clear that it wasn’t just Kendrick who had an issue with Drake. It was everyone else who aligned themselves with Future and Metro Boomin, including Rick Ross, The Weeknd, and ASAP Rocky, who appeared in its sequel, We Still Don’t Trust You. The following day, a leaked demo of Drake’s “Push Ups” surfaced online, where he declared the entire debacle a “20 V. 1.”
He tore through Future and Metro Boomin, with the latter at the receiving end of the now-iconic phrase, “Metro shut yo h*e ass up and make some drums,” slammed Rick Ross for jumping in the feud, took shots at The Weeknd and XO as a whole, addressed J. Cole’s apology, and fired back at Kendrick with several short jokes and claims that he got swindled by Top Dawg. Ultimately, the song, including the mention of Whitney Alford, served as a warning shot toward Kendrick and the rest of his adversaries, though many initially believed it was an AI-created song before Drizzy confirmed its authenticity.
April 13th, 2024: Rick Ross – “Champagne Moments” (Officially Released On April 15th)
Shortly after Drake’s diss track leaked online, Rick Ross wasted no time issuing a response. On “Champagne Moments,” which became a fan favorite among hip-hop’s old guard, emerged in snippets via Akademiks. The record feels like a classic MMG offering where Ross balances opulent tones with gritty imagery as he attacked Drake for using ghostwriters, getting plastic surgery, sending a cease to French Montana, and trying to embellish his street credibility by working with artists with more authentic ties to street gangs.
Perhaps the most confusing entry in this whole list, Drake reimagined himself as the late Tupac and Snoop Dogg on “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Released days after “Push Ups” in an attempt to encourage a response from Kendrick, Drake used the power of AI to deliver his first verse from the perspective of ‘Pac while the second came as an encouraging pep talk from Snoop Dogg. Drake wrote and recorded both verses, as well as delivered a verse at the end as himself to close the song.
On the track, Drake jabbed Kendrick for his street ties and downplayed the Compton artist’s impact on the West Coast. Much like “Push Ups,” this was another taunt aimed at Mr. Morale, though it also served as Drake’s first song where he solely addressed Kendrick Lamar. Considering the controversy surrounding AI, Drake faced backlash for attempting to desecrate Tupac’s legacy. Even Suge Knight condemned Drake from behind bars. The estate of Tupac Shakur later stated their disproval of Drizzy’s artistic choices.
“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” attorney Howard King wrote in a letter obtained by Billboard. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.” He added, “The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.” Days later, Drake removed the song from his Instagram page.
April 21st, 2024: Kanye West – “Like That (Remix)”
Though this was by far the weakest diss track to come out of this feud, it did feel like a significant development as fans waited for Kendrick’s reply. Kanye West’s feud with Drake has been well-documented over the years, though both parties have attempted to revive their beef on wax to little effect. Kanye later jumped on the No. 1 single with a new verse while revamping the hook, declaring in the intro, “You know we had to get the Hooligans up here. We gon’ take this p*ssy n***a out. Yo Dot, I got you.” Outside of claiming that Drake sold his soul to UMG for that reported $400M deal, Kanye’s diss record landed on deaf ears.
April 30th, 2024: Kendrick Lamar – “Euphoria”
Over two weeks passed after Drake’s “Push Ups” leaked online, and doubt began to cloud the air that Kendrick backed down from the feud. Media personalities, such as Akademiks and Jamil “Mal” Clay, began speculating that Dot would only respond on his next studio album. There were even rumors that Kendrick was too shook to fire back. However, on April 30th, Kendrick Lamar released “Euphoria” at 8:24 a.m. PST in what appeared to be an homage to Kobe Bryant. Furthermore, the song’s title also references the HBO series that Drake executive produces. The blistering song delivered on all fronts: addressing each of Drake’s major talking points and alluding to plenty of tea that the internet uncovered in the days that followed while also teasing Drake’s heritage as a Canadian and criticizing his parental skills when it comes to Adonis.
Ultimately, “Euphoria” was a massive flex that proved Kendrick stood as a commercial giant next to Drake – a feat that no other rapper in this beef could flaunt. Moreover, his taunts of Toronto’s accent, OVO, and mention of New Ho King showcased Kendrick Lamar’s international appeal as the Toronto restaurant saw a significant spike in business shortly, thanks to “Euphoria.”
Days later, Kendrick Lamar doubled back with the release of “6:16 In LA” as an Instagram exclusive. Including a random Maybach motorcycle glove as its cover art and referencing Drake’s timestamp records, Kendrick Lamar let off another shot at Drake where he made his feelings towards him clear. This particular record had the makings of an entry in “The Heart” series.
Produced by Taylor Swift associate Jack Antonoff and Sounwave, Kendrick tackles a smooth sample of Al Green’s “What A Wonderful Thing Love Is” (Drake’s uncle Mabon “Teenie” Hodges plays guitar on the song) and uses the first half as an opportunity to deliver both spiritual and materialistic flexes. Then, halfway into the song, Kendrick goes back in on Drake for trying to troll his manager, Anthony Saleh, online and alludes to having a mole in the OVO camp. This became a critical piece of information that would unfold over the next 72 hours.
A little over 12 hours later, Drake would come back with a vengeance with the release of “Family Matters.” Another one produced by Boi-1da, who clearly has kept a battery in Drake’s back throughout this beef, the song is broken down into three different sections. Similar to “Push Ups,” which previewed the hook of the first part of the song, Drake is after everyone who has fired at him over the past few weeks. Kendrick Lamar becomes the focal point, but this is where Drake begins to publicly disseminate information surrounding Lamar’s fiancée, Whitney Alford, and egg on rumors that she had an affair with Dave Free, Kendrick’s general manager, leading to the birth of a son. This was the biggest bombshell of the song, while Drizzy also spent the record doubling back on The Weeknd, Metro Boomin, Rick Ross, Future, and ASAP Rocky.
May 3rd, 2024: Kendrick Lamar – “Meet The Grahams”
In what is undoubtedly one of the most scathing diss songs in the history of hip-hop – one that neither “The Story Of Adidon” or “Ether” could accomplish – Kendrick Lamar released an open letter to the Graham family moments after “Family Matters” hit DSPs. Produced by Alchemist, Kendrick directs each verse at different family members, including an alleged secret 11-year-old daughter. While it did attempt to have the same effect as “The Story Of Adidon,” Drake later debunked this theory and alleged that he actually planted false information about the daughter himself. However, that didn’t take away from the fact that Kendrick accused Drake of using Ozempic, getting a BBL, protecting sex offenders and exhibiting Weinstein-like behavior, preying on underage women, and so much more. If you were looking for a diss track that emphasized dirty secrets before lyricism, this one is certainly for you.
Nearly 24 hours after dropping “Meet The Grahams,” Kendrick came through with his fourth release of the week, “Not Like Us.” With production from Mustard, Kendrick delivered arguably the best song out of this whole kerfuffle. The heavily influenced West Coast bop takes cues from artists like Drakeo The Ruler and E-40 while Kendrick relentlessly trolls Drake. Though many doubted Kendrick’s ability to craft an anthem for the clubs, “Not Like Us” found his lyrical sword, infectious songwriting, and humor take center stage as he called Drake and OVO a bunch of pedophiles. We can’t imagine anything hurt Drake more in this battle than seeing Kendrick Lamar unite the streets of Los Angeles to scream “Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophile” or “Trying to strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor” in unison.
In what currently stands as the final offering in the current phase of this battle, Drake returned fire on Sunday night with “The Heart Part 6.” In another offering produced by Boi-1da, Drizzy switched his tone to offer a moody record that felt akin to the timestamp joints that fans have been longing for. Across the song, Drake doubled down on all of the allegations against Kendrick Lamar, including unsubstantiated claims of domestic abuse and the narrative surrounding Whitney Alford and Dave Free. Furthermore, he said that Kendrick hasn’t actually seen his kids in nearly six months.
In an attempt to address the allegations of grooming and predatory behavior, Drake also tried to flip the script to accuse Kendrick of projecting his own traumas of sexual abuse onto him. However, outside of his core fanbase, this backfired terribly. His failed attempt to reverse the narrative on “Mother I Sober” from Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers proved that he was, in fact, just as “dumb and reactive” as he accused Kendrick Lamar of being.
Ironically, by the end of the song, Drake says, “Everything in my sh*t is facts,” which feels less effective after several of his claims were debunked. Plus, his actual attempt to deny the grooming allegations didn’t help his case in the court of public opinion. However, the outro of this song indicated that Drake might be worn out by the constant back and forth with Kendrick. Is he truly willing to back down?
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.
Rick Ross’ jet allegedly made a crash landing in Dallas
Just a few weeks ago, Rick Ross was telling Drake to be careful about getting on his old “cargo plane.”
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.
Questlove shared an edited version of Drake’s diss track, “Push Ups,” that presents the song as if it came from Motown. While he was loving the comedic version of the song, the legendary Roots drummer made sure not to take sides in the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
“The only dog I got in this game is the mofo who enabled that pregnant pause on ‘make some drums n^*^%”————like they way he leaned into ‘druuuuuuuums…….’ man, even my self esteem went down. This one song made me miss every uncle I ever had in my life……like that voice you hear (70s babies) through clinched teeth like ‘If you don’t GIIIIIT!!!……..’ like you know you already gonna get that benny hill smack in the back of your head walking on your way to the pre whuppin b4 he tell you pops what you and Big Mark & Weeski did to Miss Janie’s back window throwin that pink rubberball like a baseball.”

Questlove concluded by reiterating that he’s not taking sides in the feud. “@champagnepapi even you gotta love this jawn. (For the record I’d rather see yall collabing but I’m out this game),” he wrote. Fans shared plenty of laughs in the comments section of the post as well. Check out the Motown edit of Drake’s “Push Ups” below.
Questlove Reacts To Motown Version Of Drake’s “Push Ups”
Drake originally released “Push Ups” as a response to Kendrick Lamar’s diss on Metro Boomin and Future’s “Like That.” He targeted several other artists he’s been feuding with as well. Be on the lookout for further updates on Questlove on HotNewHipHop.
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.
There are a lot of different ways and metrics of “winning” by which you could look at the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef. While many would say that it’s all about the quality of the diss tracks themselves, we are among too large (and divided) of a hip-hop fanbase to not consider that folks care about numbers more as arguments. Moreover, now that “Push Ups” is finally on streaming, many folks are curious as to how it will perform against “Like That” commercially dominating the game to this day. Although K.Dot can’t touch Drizzy numbers-wise in general, this would be a curious showdown to witness because we might not expect the results.
Furthermore, DJ Akademiks spoke to the close nature of this race, albeit in a dismissive way, on Twitter yesterday (Sunday, April 21). “Drake ‘Push Ups’ expected to out stream Metro Boomin, Future and Kendrick Lamar ‘Like That’ for this week,” he wrote on the social media platform, later posting screenshots of his tweets on Instagram. “‘Like That’ might still chart higher on the final billboard chart however because of radio play which heavily affects the charts.” “Hollyyyy,” Ak captioned the IG post. “Might be a chart show down as well for this next week.” Keep in mind that “Like That” has been the No. 1 song on the Billboard charts for three weeks straight.
As far as other diss tracks or ways in which Drake and Kendrick Lamar could go head-to-head commercially, this is really the only thing they have to consider specifically related to their beef. The “Taylor Made Freestyle” probably won’t make it onto streaming thanks to the Tupac and Snoop DoggA.I. verses, but anything’s possible at this point. Of course, fans are still comparing them commercially and artistically in other areas, which they’ve vaguely spoken on in their disses. They recently had blockbuster tours, albums in the 2020s decade, wildly different label deals, etc.
Meanwhile, everyone is very curious to see how the Compton lyricist manages a response… if at all. Does he want to wait the exact same time his opponent waited to clap back at “Like That” or is his follow-up track really taking this long to craft? Let us know your predictions on that, and thoughts on all of this, down in the comments section below. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Ja Rule says he relates to Drake amid the Toronto rapper’s numerous ongoing feuds in hip-hop. Taking to Twitter on Saturday, he referenced Drake’s recent track, “Push Ups.” “20V1 I can relate…,” he wrote with a laughing emoji. In another post, he added: “Hip hop is a family… and no one wins when the family feuds!!! Don’t let that go over your head… #hiphopvseverybody.” On Drake’s song, he raps, “What the f*ck is this, a twenty-v-one, n***a?”
Fans shared plenty of jokes in response to the post with many bringing up Rule’s feud with 50 Cent. “You was part of the 20 and still lost,” one user replied. Another remarked: “Weren’t you on a song with 100 n****s all dissing 50?????????????”

The feuds involving Drake picked up steam when Kendrick Lamar dissed him on Metro Boomin and Future’s song, “Like That,” last month. After three weeks of waiting, he finally fired back with “Push Ups.” On the song, he targeted several other artists who dissed him before he could drop the song, including The Weeknd, Rick Ross, and more.
In other Ja Rule news, he recently had to cancel his performances in the United Kingdom after being denied entry. In a post on social media from February, he explained: “I’m so devastated I can’t believe the UK won’t let me in I’ve spent a half million dollars in production of my own money to put this tour together only to be denied entry DAYS before my shows this is not fair to me or my fans these venues are 85% sold and now I can’t come… The UK is one of the few European countries that restricts entry to people with criminal records. In general, you will likely be denied entry if you have been convicted of a crime punishable by 23 months or more under British law or served more than 12 months in prison.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Ja Rule on HotNewHipHop.
