Tory Lanez proclaims that he is gunning for Drake’s spot in an interview with Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning.
The “Say It” singer reveals that although there is some tension between the two artists, it’s not personal. Tory admits that he is a fan of Drizzy’s music.
“That doesn’t mean that I’m not here to take that crown,” the New Toronto rapper says. “What do you think this is? What do you think, I’m here to be second place?”
Tory‘s popularity exploded upon the release of “Say It,” which peaked at #1 on the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop charts, resulting in a deal with Interscope Records.
“Hip Hop is a contact sport,” the 23-year-old musician continues. “I’m here to compete. I’m here to be No. 1. I’m here to be the greatest. Anybody that’s standing in the way, whether it’s him or anybody, it’s gotta go the way it’s gotta go. I’m not gonna stop until I get that.”
The 6 God allegedly took shots at Tory with the release of “Summer Sixteen,” saying “all you boys in the new Toronto want to be me a little,” a reference to Tory’s mixtape the New Toronto. Drake also dismisses Tory’s previous (or non-existent?) affiliation with OVO when he spit the line, “you was never gang, gang, gang, gang, you was never one of us.”
Lanez aimed back at the OVO boss on his single “Line Up The Flex,” rapping, “Even though a nigga used to tell ’em all / I was never ever gang, gang, gang, gang, I was One Umbrella Mob.”
Tory says he’s not really too bothered by the friction and fans shouldn’t expect any of his energy to be spent on sending subliminal shots towards Drake on his forthcoming project I Told You.
“There’s never been a personal problem because I don’t know that man,” Tory says. “It’s just one of those situations where the only thing that’s ever gonna lie in between us is that we can’t share first place, and I’m the only guy that’s bold enough to come and really take that right now.”
What does Drake think about all of this? He addressed the mild beef in his interview with Zane Lowe following the release of Views.
“I encourage anybody to go out there and do the most damage that you possibly can,” the Grammy Award-winning rapper says. “Do you things. Get all the fruits. Get everything. Become the biggest artist you can possibly be. Just don’t get up there finally and start talking down on me, especially when we have no interaction.”

He’s got some okay R&B songs, but his bars are wack.
I agree wit ur opinion about drake
I want to steal Drake’s money and shoot him. That worthless J e w i sh no culture having b l a c k scum….
Tory Lanez will never catch Drake he’s trying to bite his style too much, He’s not different enough. I’ve heard Torey lanez and he’s not good enough.

I’m laughing at the fact that he has one hit and already thinks he’s better than Drake. I got a bridge in Brooklyn I’ll sell Tory whenever he ever takes Drizzaveli’s spot. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
jay-z, joe budden, will take out milli drizzavanilli soon enough, there are too many real rappers who write their own music and lyrics that are sick of the whiney bitch made menstruation music fake drake reads and recites from the binders of reference tracks his ovo sweatshop ghostwriters give him to learn to sing THEIR SONGS. #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Just another clown with a deathwish lmao
Lol drake is a pop star he never killed anyone in his life
Great. Another fake ass Canadian making garbage pop. He is planning on being the Cristina Haguilera to Drake’s Britney Queers? LOL. GTFOH. We should nuke Canada already…
Drake played himself out big time with his j e w s from the sticks album. I have a feeling he is headed for the shelf like Nikki Garbaje after this one. I am still hoping he somehow fucks with Kendrick so he gets exposed for the fraud he is. Canada should be embarrassed of this Teddy Ruxping Chucky Cheese robot.
Does this guy write his own terrible music? If he does, he is already better than Drake…
Drake is far from number one… And this fool hasn’t even got a chance at him. Hip hop is in a sad state if we are letting a Canadian lead…. You guys do know Kendrick krit and Cole still rap right?
Yes, we know, and they’re nowhere near Drake’s level, either. Only virgin backpack nerds listen to those fools. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife

only pathetic bitches and ovoqueer ass eaters listen to fake drake #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
Drake isn’t on the top 5 most selling Hip-Hop Abums of all time. He isn’t on the top 5 most selling Hip-Hop singles of all times. He isn’t on the top 5 highest paid Hip-Hop artists of all times. And he isn’t in the top 10 MCs of all time list anywhere, and shouldn’t be. He can’t freestyle and doesn’t write his own rhymes. So when talking about number one, we mean him trying to catch up to Taylor swift? LOLOLOLOLOL
J E W S from the sticks. Worst reviewed album in a while. Riff Raff’s BS got a better review. Hahahahhaha. Lames.
good luck nigga, LOL second place would be a good milestone to be honest
Justino by your pic, you shouldnt be using nigga. Drake shouldnt Esther, só I guess its OK? LOL
Yo, Tory… just make sure you don’t write your own lyrics and your dream might come true. It’s easy to fool the masses nowadays. Skill and quality is no longer required in the game.
Drake is corny like a white boy
Tory can’t do it hes too big now we need the fans to recognize the real … hip hop needs a new sound
We need Eminem to do what he did to ja rule they took down a whole label
i dont care if you hate Drake. If you dont know Drake number 1 right now, ur simply delusional. 5 years ago he was the only guy rap singing like he does. Now like almost every rapper is melodic like Drake and half of these r&b singers like Usher are partly rapping. Drake been running hiphop since 2010 pretty much. I dont see Cole or Kendrick having that kind of impact on the game. Sorry dudes. And Tory u aint gotta hope in hell.
Trey Songz was the first guy I heard sing rap

Wow this fool crazy and delusional and most of you are as well! Lanez is about as relevant as yesterday’s news and he isn’t even in top 100 now. Shouldn’t even speak on the 6 God ever ! 7 weeks and counting numbers don’t lie u lame fucks period end of story!
ya a lotta bitches and ovoqueers buying that fruity boy bullshit alright #DRAKEISFAKEDRAKEISWACK #THE 6FRAUD WITH VIEWS FROM A BITCH
FuCkk uu corny ass
I’m not a Drake fan but this idiot kid is absolutely a fucking nobody.
Seriously……why the fuck do black dudes never clip their fingernails, honest question?
Your mom pussy the grow fast
I would work the shit out of his asshole with my tongue for sure!
Tory Lanez can’t fuck with the 666 God.
you mean 6 fraud??
I think that Tory sometimes makes good, catchy, melodic music. BUT he is far away from being as versitale as Drake, and tbh i never heard Tory actually rap recently…it is not a good look for him to mention Drake in any way IMO
If you like Drake’s gay Canadian ass and his garbage music, go kill yourself.
You should just do that anyways yourself. Anybody who tells that to someone is a terrible human being and the world would be a better place with less pieces of crap like you. Ppl are free to like and do what they want its a free country deal with it.
The only way to conpete with the 6 god is to imitate him. Too bad drake is so far above the rap game its impossible for rappers to touch him. Drake runs this rap shit and he will run it for another decade pissing all you hipster nerds off.
I believe it’s hipster nerds, teenage girls and closet dudes that play Drake.
Or simple write your own Hip-Hop msix for the streets. Instead of that gay shit. Pop tart Beitney Bieber bullshit.
