‘Back to Back’ beau Drake kept the disses coming back to back in his latest album, ‘Her Loss,’ a joint effort with fellow chart-topping rapper 21 Savage.
Since the set’s November 4 release, the Canadian hitmaker has been dominating headlines for bars that many listeners have perceived to be shade toward unsuspecting targets.

On the ‘Her Loss’ track ‘BackOutsideBoyz,’ Drake randomly reminisces over his feud with DRAM (who now goes by Shelley).
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)As fans of the artists may recall, the latter called out Drizzy for allegedly swiping elements of the 2015 tune ‘Cha Cha’ for his own megahit ‘Hotline Bling.’

Once word of the mention got to Shelley, he took to Twitter to lend a fiery response (as seen in the video above).

I pressed his ass,” he said. “His fuckin’ bodyguards god damn — I ain’t gon’ hold you. His bodyguards went to town on the kid. But his bodyguards did, not his bitch ass! He ain’t touch me. He’s a bitch. You know that. Why I gotta god damn get into all of that? When I see him, I see him. What’s good with the one-on-one though, my baby? Wassup, my n***a? But he don’t wanna do that.”

Shelley wasn’t the only one hitting back at the 6 God.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Taking to Twitter, Alexis Ohanian – co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis legend Serena Williams – threw subtle shade at the GRAMMY winner for what was a direct reference found in the ‘Her Loss’ track ‘Middle of the Ocean.’
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“I swear you don’t even mean what y’all say like y’all dubbin’ a movie / Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie / He claim we don’t got a problem but / No, boo, it is like you comin’ for sushi,” Drizzy rapped about Serena, whom he was romantically linked to in the past.

Ohanian hit back by taking to Twitter to say: “The reason I stay winning is because I’m relentless about being the absolute best at whatever I do — including being the best groupie for my wife & daughter.”

Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“Linking with the opps, bitch, I did that shit for J Prince/ Bitch, I did it for the mob ties,” he rapped in the controversial tune.

The line was a clear dig at Kanye, who ironically just recently crowned Drizzy ‘the best rapper ever.’ Fans assume it references the time the two made amends at the Free Larry Hoover concert after years of beefing.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)Like Alexis, West took to Twitter to offer a surprisingly diplomatic response.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“Enough already,” the 45-year-old rapper-turned-fashion mogul started the tweet. “I done gave this man his flowers multiple times. Let’s really see who are real ops are in this music game. Imagine all the rappers on the same side and everyone cleaning up each other’s contracts. It’s kingdom time. Love Drake.”

Like DRAM, fans believe rapstress Ice Spice was also aimed at on ‘BackOutsideBoyz.’
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“She a ten tryna rap, it’s good on mute, yeah,” Drake said on the tune despite not mentioning her name.

It’s suspected Ice was the line’s target because the two were once romantically linked, but Drizzy unexpectedly unfollowed her on IG.
Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)“At least ima 10,” she replied (as seen in the tweet above).

At writing, Drake has not responded to any of the hoopla surrounding his lyrics.

I only see one clap back LOL
Drake is 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Funny how many nerves he hit in a helluva short time lmao. Not a big fan but i always respect a versatile artist. This is carefully crafted. Been long since we had a song stiring all this drama. Now everybody talkin bout drake.
And earned his 13th #1 album/EP/mixtape LMAO. They mad and numbers don’t lie 🎯
Isn’t this the kind of drama that leads to young rappers (black men period) getting killed every year? Why is it entertaining?
Correct.
Mocking ppl being shot OR killed leads to violence and has NOTHING to do with Hip-Hop Culture.
Now Battle rapping is different.
Wym hip hop culture is toxic. It’s all about flashiness, s**, drugs and violence. You living under a rock or sum faggit
Right @true tea. Hip hop and violence are mutually exclusive. I have no time to school these simpletons
Hip-Hop Culture is about DJ-ing, Break-dancing, Lyricism and creating a voice for marginalized groups.
@False Tea
False tea im guessing your mom told you that meanwhile she masturbates to eminem songs lmaoo. You’re a victim of a lie and thats sad
Hip hop culture hasn’t been about that since the 80s faggitt lmfao
Traditional Hip-Hop CULTURE….
IS about Dj’s bringing marginalized youth [In NYC] together,
Since those Communities LACKED social programs.
Hip-Hop started off as a local underground party scene.
Therefore MAINSTREAM Hip-Hop do NOT represent the true essence of Hip-Hop Culture.
LMAOOO BYTCHES ARE ALWAYS MAD AT KING DRAKE CUZ HE NEVER FLOPS, THEY’RE BITTER AF LMAOOO
Blacks are violent and hateful, insulting and killing each other so whites don’t have to.
Don’t see this in country music. Who was the last country music hick to get shot?
And the funny thing is I’m pretty sure country singers have more guns than all these rappers. And they don’t use as many bodyguards as they do. Lol!
I’m sick of this culture vulture. Only dude in hip hop that won’t even buss a grape but talking like he about that life or something. It really makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don’t even know how all the hood nïggās give this clown a pass because it’s really lame.
