A$AP Rocky isnât holding back when it comes to his fallout with Drake. During an interview promoting his latest album, Donât 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 Drakeâs past lyrics about his partner. The “STOLE YA FLOW” artist referred to the lines from Drakeâs 2023 track Fear of Heights, in which he seemingly aimed shots at Rihanna. In the song, Drake sings, âYeah, and the sex was average with you,â which many believe was directed at Rihanna. Rocky was quick to call out these remarks as “soft” and unnecessary.
âI 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, thatâs soft to me,â Rocky said, making it clear that he felt Drakeâs 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 itâs over females,” he stated. “I feel like he wasnât happy, and he expressed that.”
However, Rocky clarified that the beef wasnât personal or serious. âItâs not real smoke,â he explained. “We was once friends. But I just donât 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 thereâs enough success to go around for everyone.
Despite the tension, Rocky stated that he wasnât 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. “Itâs enough money, itâs enough women, itâs 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, itâs clear that Rocky is moving forward with his own life and career, leaving behind the feud for now â but with no intention of reconciling anytime soon.
