Drizzy has done a complete 180 after his high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar, leaving fans speculating about his next moves as he deletes his diss tracks from social media.
- Jun 6, 2024
AceShowbiz - Drake has been a cornerstone of the hip-hop community, consistently repping his OVO crew on tracks like "No New Friends" and "No Friends In the Industry". Despite his loyalty, the OVO camp seemed to face turmoil during the heated feud with Kendrick Lamar. The Compton rapper threw shade at Drake's inner circle, questioning their loyalty and accusing them of severe misconduct in tracks like "6:16 In LA" and "Meet the Grahams".
Drake hit back with his own diss tracks, including "The Heart Part 6", claiming his crew was still loyal and trying to expose Lamar's misinformation. However, this chapter appears to have come to an end. On June 5, Drake deleted all his Kendrick Lamar diss tracks from Instagram, leading fans to speculate about his motives. The rapper's Instagram now features photos of him with a Rolex watch and the caption, "The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer," a direct reference to Lamar's previous allegations.
Fans were quick to react, with some insisting that Drake's move signifies a concession. "Didn't he say 'tweeters and deleters' lmao even he knew he lost," commented one user. Another speculated that this event marked "the elimination of Drake in real time." Despite such reactions, defenders of Drizzy argue that he might be setting the stage for a new album cycle, something common among artists looking to signify a fresh era.
While the diss tracks might be gone from Instagram, they remain on streaming platforms, suggesting that Drake's need for a clean slate is social media-specific. Still, the removal has led many to see this as a defensive move. "This is embarrassing Kendrick Lamar is really The Boogeyman," one fan tweeted.
