Drake has taken aim at a number of rap rivals on his new project Scary Hours 3, including Kanye West, Joe Budden and Pusha T.
The Toronto native released his latest EP on Friday (November 17), treating fans to six new songs that have been tacked onto his recent album, For All the Dogs. (It appears on streaming services as For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition.)
Drizzy empties the clip across the half-dozen tracks, targeting Kanye, Budden and King Push — all of whom he’s had issues with in the past.
On the first song, “Red Button,” Drake calls out Ye for being a deceitful friend and going back on their truce. (The pair reconciled for the Free Larry Hoover benefit concert in late 2021, but Drake later implied that he did it as a favor to Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince.)
“Every time you need me for a boost, I never hesitated/ Every time that Yeezy called a truce, he had my head inflated/ Thinkin’ we gon’ finally peace it up and get to levitatin’/ Realize that everything premeditated,” he raps.
Then, on “Stories About My Brother,” Drizzy appears to subliminally diss Kanye while referencing him walking around barefoot, as he’s been spotted doing in Europe this past summer.
“I can’t wait for the day that you choose to retire your stuff/ Taking off the sneakers ’cause you tired of tying ’em up/ That one day you wake up and tell ’em, ‘Enough is enough’/ That’s how you gon’ find out you not Kobe Bryant to us [laughs]/ Man, you not Kobe Bryant to us… at all,” he says.
Kanye compared himself to Kobe Bryant on ScHoolboy Q‘s “THat Part,” and also made “I Feel Like Kobe” shirts in 2016 to coincide with Bryant’s NBA retirement.
Joe Budden also faces Drake’s wrath on “Stories About My Brother”: “Imagine us getting our validation from an ex-musician searching for recognition/ Same story every time, they heckle in repetition/ I’m top of the mountain, these n-ggas still down at base camp, they planning they expedition.”
Noted snitch 6ix9ine catches a stray in his verse, too: “Y’all the type to catch a charge, head to the deposition/ And act like the rapper named after the sex position.”
Budden and Drake’s beef, which began in 2016, reignited last month after the podcaster trashed Drizzy’s For All the Dogs LP. It resulted in the OVO hitmaker sending the former Slaughterhouse MC a series of strongly-worded messages, which he read out on his podcast.
Elsewhere on Scary Hours 3, Drake resumes sparring with Pusha T on The Alchemist-produced “Wick Man” by spitting: “Man, I remember n-ggas was joking ’bout some tick, tick/ And now that rapper broke as fuck, that boy a statistic.”
These lines are a callback to Pusha mocking Noah “40” Shebib’s multiple sclerosis disease on “The Story of Adidon”: “OVO 40, hunched over like he 80—tick, tick, tick/ How much time he got? That man is sick, sick, sick.”

Drake is still gay
That’s not what your mom, gf/wife, or sister said
@The Boy You wish you could sword fight drake
Did he diss your man crush?
Pusha is about to tell us which cars Drake is late on his payments with, the last time he prematurely ejaculated, and about the time his mom forgot him at a Zellers (Canadian Target)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those diss bars are real tender and moist. Waited 6 summers to respond to Push. More heartbroken raps from Drizzy LOL. Pathetic.
Drake continues to channel his inner Makaveli.
What a joke! Bahahaha
Drake stay trying to diss people to act like he’s cool, not secretly a homosexual, and sell shit music for dumb niccas to stream. Why hasn’t he responded to pusha T? Oh because he had to be a dad so his fans wouldn’t turn on him. Now he bringing his kid to NBA games and having him draw album art. What a pathetic loser. Drake’s a man child hamster with a beard.
You wrote a whole soliloquy about drake calling him a loser after you read an article about songs you already know lmfao wake up and look in the mirror kid
These are zesty bars.
lol Drake, forever trying to prove he’s not the soft little bit*h everyone knows him to be
lol Drake, forever trying to prove he’s not the soft little b**** everyone knows him to be
You know Drake?
lol Drake still soft
lol Drake is so soft.
I don’t see how any grown man could listen to this shit
Drake is one of the worst rapper ever…He is only a RNB singer.
Drake so f***ing disrespectful for dropping his bullshit the same day as Wayne, when Nicki pushed back her album for this exact same reason. F this clown. F drake!
If these disses are what’s considered hard these days then…. Wow, hip hop really has lost it’s edge. It’s just funny how badly Pusha destroyed him and Drake keeps coming back with baby soft disses to no response. The ship sailed, let it go.
I bet he didn’t even write those bars lol. If you gonna diss at least write it yourself.
Just retire and stop embarrassing yourself…smh
Off course he dissed Kanye. He’s been ODing with it for 5 years now lol
Wow… I Wonder Who He PAID To Write Those For Him? LOL!
A Canadian half white wankster/wanksta from Degrassi dissing real American rappers. What a joke.
