While Drake fans anxiously await Certified Lover Boy to arrive, the 6 God momentarily whet their palates on Thursday night (March 4) when he delivered the Scary Hours 2 3-pack featuring Rick Ross and Lil Baby.
From the unmistakable bravado of “What’s Next” and effortless rap ping-pong on “Wants and Needs” to the essential boss bars on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle,” the 13-minute EP ignited even more excitement for Drake’s follow-up to 2018’s Scorpion, with the majority of his fans anointing him with “G.O.A.T.” status once again.
But one particular line appeared to stand out from the rest. On “Wants and Needs,” Drake makes a reference to Kanye West who he’s famously beefed with in the past. “Yeah, I should probably go link with Yeezy,” he raps. “I need me some Jesus/But as soon as I start confessin’ my sins, he wouldn’t believe us.”
As Drake began trending on Twitter, several fans initially thought the line indicated they’d laid their issues to rest but as time went on, more and more people suggested it was a well-timed subliminal about an alleged fling with Ye’s future ex-wife Kim Kardashian.
Pusha T Claims Drake Is A Deadbeat Dad On "The Story Of Adidon" Diss Track
Drake and Kanye have a contentious past that blew up in 2018 after G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T revealed the Canadian superstar had a “secret” son on his infamous Drake diss track, “The Story Of Adidon.”
There was also a Twitter deep-dive into Drake’s lyrics from “In My Feelings” and many speculated the Kiki in the song was Kardashian.
The chatter grew so intense, Kanye felt compelled to dispel those rumors, tweeting, “Don’t speak on nobody from my family, nothing that could be even mentioned with my wife. Period. We don’t have to talk again, I’m giving no energy to that.” (It was later revealed the real Kiki was 24-year-old Oakland dancer Ky’anna “Kiki” Barber.)
Whatever the case with “Wants and Needs,” the line has sparked a spirited debate on social media. Check out some of the reactions below and find the project here.
THE CASUAL RAP FAN IS STUPID AS SHIT BRO. DID WE ALL LISTEN TO THE SAME SONG?
More gay shit. Tired of it.
Lol if you think Drake is anywhere near goat, you have no respect for hip hop
Drake is in the GOAT category, my guy. Many records broken, hit after hit, all platinum albums, many quotables, can adapt to different genres and styles and fit like a glove, and most importantly, still on top of the game for over a decade when haters kept saying his 15 minutes are up every year. Been listening to hip hop for years and can easily say Drake is a legend in the game.
Lol @ Goat category. This generation is so watered down
He’s good but not great, I mean he doesn’t really have a classic album but he puts out good songs a lot…album for album Drake is not top 10 I’d say Top 20 is fair
Wow. You are a double clown. You said Drake is in the conversation for goat, then said “my guy” like a real cornball. LOL. What a jackass. Drake is not on any respectable MC’s top 10 list. BDK, Nas, Jay, DOOM, Black Thought, Eminem, any member of the Wu, NWA, Chuck D, Biz, KRS the list goes on and on. If he is in the conversation, how come he isn’t in ONE top 10 list of everyone who is in top 10 lists? There is a simple reason. He sucks and is a commercial puppet. My guy. Fucking dork. This younger generation lets a child actor from Canada get away with appropriating US slang and cadences while making a mockery of the art form. You are part of the problem.
This dummy said “been listening to hip-hop for years” and mentions Drake in the same sentence. Nuff said.
Been listening to hip hop for “years” huh? How many? Smh
This was not a diss at all
piss is more like it
Hmm this is a very similar time in hiphop as when usher may or may not have dissed chili from tlc on “yeah” ?
drake has the horns up.
You gotta be a special kinda moron to think this was a diss..these blog sites are cancerous
