In a recent interview, Joe Budden opened up about the ongoing drama between him and Drake, revealing that it has taken a toll on him both mentally and emotionally. The two musicians have had a tumultuous relationship since 2016, marked by periods of conflict and reconciliation. It all started when Budden criticized Drake’s album “Views,” prompting the release of Drake’s track “4PM in Calabasas,” which contained subliminal disses aimed at Budden. This led Budden to retaliate with his own diss tracks, “Making a Murderer Pt. 1” and “Afraid.”
The tensions between Drake and Pusha T escalated to a boiling point in 2018 with Pusha T’s diss track, “The Story of Adidon,” where he exposed the secret that Drake had fathered a son, Adonis. The feud between the two rappers made headlines and added another layer to the ongoing drama in the hip-hop world. Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion, whose single “Hiss” was released in January, has also been embroiled in the drama. Some fans believe that her lyrics in the song are directed at Drake, with references to “cosplay gangsters” and “fake-ass accents.”
Many fans credit Megan Thee Stallion with starting a potential “takedown” of Drake, but she often gets overlooked in the narrative. Kendrick Lamar also took aim at Drake and J. Cole in his verse on Metro Boomin and Future’s track “Like That.” The diss verse was a response to the “big three” verse on “First Person Shooter” and added another layer to the ongoing tension in the hip-hop community. The drama between these artists seems never-ending, with each diss track adding fuel to the fire and keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
Overall, the ongoing feuds in the music industry have captivated fans and sparked intense debates about loyalty, authenticity, and the art of the diss track. The drama shows no signs of slowing down, and fans eagerly await each new development in the never-ending saga of musical rivalries.
