Drake appears to be embracing his revenge phase as a fresh video has emerged where he talks about past allies who have turned against him recently. While he refrained from naming anyone specifically, fans quickly speculated that he might be referring to Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, A$AP Rocky, Rick Ross, among others, considering his history with rap rivalries.
The “God’s Plan” artist has repeatedly indicated that October is typically when tensions rise for his adversaries. Famous for his subtly aggressive demeanor, he let his enigmatic remarks fly during a “Nostalgia” party in Toronto on Saturday night (Oct. 5), hosted by media personality Tyrone Edwards.
While he expressed numerous thoughts in the footage, the statement that resonated most was, “Individuals you believed were friends, or those you thought were close to you, might just change.”
One viewer reacted to the clip, exclaiming, “True greatness will always eclipse any negativity. 15 years at the pinnacle!” Another pointed out, “This reality comes along with wealth and influence. He’s been aware of it since the Certified Lover Boy era, which is why he created that ‘Fair Trade’ song.” In the 2021 collaboration with Travis Scott, Drake muses, “I been losing friends and finding peace, but honestly it sounds like a fair trade to me.”
Since entering the Hip Hop scene, Drake has been vocal about his feelings of paranoia. From cautionary advice from JAY-Z on his debut album to fierce hostility directed at rivals in works like Scorpion, he has carried the burden of being at the peak of the music industry for quite some time.
Earlier this year, the “Scary Hours” rapper hinted at a collaborative project from his OVO compatriot, PARTYNEXTDOOR. Although no release schedule has been confirmed, fans are hopeful it will arrive around Drake’s birthday later in October.
