AceShowbiz - Drake has gained a reputation for using social media to unfollow those he deems opponents amid his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. Whether targeting high-profile figures like LeBron James, Drake's move for unfollowing are typically sparked by disagreements or perceived slights.
In a recent incident, Drake reportedly unfollowed renowned producer Timbaland after the latter commented on a post wondering if Drake would win a $2 billion lawsuit and "declare war on the music industry." Timbaland's response, a shaking head emoji, allegedly prompted Drizzy's unfollow.
However, Timbaland later clarified his emoji's meaning, "Let the story play out. Mal might be on to something. They say you have to destroy to rebuild!!!"

Drake's penchant for using social media as a means of sending messages has left fans divided. Nonetheless, it appears that Drake will continue to engage in this approach, even as it sparks controversy.
