A$AP Rocky isnāt holding back when it comes to his fallout with Drake. During an interview promoting his latest album, Donāt Be Dumb, the Harlem rapper opened up about the end of his friendship with the Toronto artist, citing issues around personal boundaries and ego.
Rocky, who has been in a relationship with Rihanna since 2020 and shares three children with her, criticized Drakeās past lyrics about his partner. The “STOLE YA FLOW” artist referred to the lines from Drakeās 2023 track Fear of Heights, in which he seemingly aimed shots at Rihanna. In the song, Drake sings, āYeah, and the sex was average with you,ā which many believe was directed at Rihanna. Rocky was quick to call out these remarks as “soft” and unnecessary.
āI think at some certain point when everybody getting older and you supposed to be moving on, for you to still be picking at a female, thatās soft to me,ā Rocky said, making it clear that he felt Drakeās shots were below the belt. He added that the tension between them was likely caused by issues involving “females” and that Drake wasn’t happy about something. “I feel like itās over females,” he stated. “I feel like he wasnāt happy, and he expressed that.”
However, Rocky clarified that the beef wasnāt personal or serious. āItās not real smoke,ā he explained. “We was once friends. But I just donāt f**k with him.” He also mentioned that the rivalry is more about Hip Hop’s competitive nature, comparing it to “wrestling,” and emphasized that thereās enough success to go around for everyone.
Despite the tension, Rocky stated that he wasnāt putting out music solely to respond to Drake. “I ain’t put out music for me to really say something back,” he said, while also acknowledging that the drama felt petty. “Itās enough money, itās enough women, itās enough fame, spotlights to go around,” he added, indicating that the issues between them are not worth the energy they once may have carried.
As the relationship between Rocky and Drake seems irreparable, itās clear that Rocky is moving forward with his own life and career, leaving behind the feud for now ā but with no intention of reconciling anytime soon.
