Soulja stayed quiet while Drake was involved in a feud with Kendrick Lamar. Without directly mentioning any names, the rapper hinted that many of Drake’s peers and collaborators may not actually be his friends. Some of the artists that could be interpreted as targets include Future, Rick Ross, and The Weeknd.
Future and Drake have a history of working together and even co-headlined The Summer Sixteen Tour back in 2016. Rick Ross and Drake also have several hit songs together such as “I’m On One,” “Money in the Grave,” and “Lord Knows.” Additionally, The Weeknd, also known as Abel Tesfaye, has collaborated with Drake on various tracks dating back to 2011, like “Shot For Me,” “Crew Love,” and “Good Ones Go.”
The subtle references in Soulja’s message may indicate some tension or underlying issues within the music industry. Despite their successful collaborations, it appears that not all of Drake’s relationships with his peers are as genuine as they may seem.
