Drake Turns Old Enemy Into New Ally Amid Growing Number Of Foes

Newly shared footage of Drake with Sauce Walka confirms that the two, who had years-long issues beginning in 2015, are truly cool again.

Video shared by Say Cheese shows the Canadian superstar and the Houston rapper talking and laughing at Houston’s Area 29 strip club.

Sauce Walka and Drake had issues dating back to 2015, when the former took shots at Drizzy over his Houston Appreciation Weekend, as well as what A-Walk viewed as Drake’s overall appropriation of H-Town’s style.

“A n-gga using our culture for lyrical content, and ain’t giving shit back but a family fun day and some money to some hoes he tricking on in the club,” Walka said at the time. “This bitch-ass n-gga make music with artists from everywhere but Houston.”

Drake responded by leaving sleeping emojis in the comments section, as well as in a brief speech at a Houston show. By 2018, Walka was saying that the beef had run out of steam. In an appearance last year on My Expert Opinion, he explained what was behind it.

He said that he disliked “when I feel like the history or the culture or the pride or the style of my city is being mistreated or misused or given a platform and we’re not able to indulge and be a part of that.”

In what was perhaps meant as a peace offering, Walka freestyled over a Drake beat last week.

All of this is happening in a context where Drake has had shots taken at him not only by Kendrick Lamar, but even more recently seemingly by A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd.

On Future and Metro Boomin‘s new album We Still Don’t Trust You, A$AP Rocky and The Weeknd appear to take aim at the Canadian hitmaker.

After Future and, most notably, Kendrick Lamar dissed Drizzy three weeks ago on We Don’t Trust You, the follow-up appears to be just as loaded.

On “Show of Hands,” Rocky seemingly raps about having a relationship with Drake’s baby mother Sophie Brussaux before she welcomed their son, Adonis.

“N-ggas swear they bitch the baddest, I just bagged the worst one/ N-ggas in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’?/ I smashed before you birthed son, Flacko hit it first, son,” he spits.

He also appears to throws shade at Drake’s For All the Dogs LP: “Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them/ Heard you dropped your latest shit/Funny how it just came and went (Ha ha ha)”

The Weeknd, who features several times across We Still Don’t Trust You, also appears to vent some anger towards his former friend on the song “All to Myself.”

He sings: “These n-ggas always yappin’, yeah/ I promise that I got your back/ Ooh, look at how we movin’, baby/ They could never diss my brothers, baby/ When they got leaks in they operation/ I thank God that I never signed my life away/ And we never do the big talk/ They shooters makin’ TikToks/ Got us laughin’ in the Lambo.”

The lyrics appear to relate to Drake’s failed attempts to sign The Weeknd to his OVO Sound label early in his career when the two collaborated often.
