JPEGMAFIA is making no secret of his dislike of Drake, taking shots at the 6 God on his new album while also tearing into his fanbase on social media.
On “it’s dark and hell is hot,” a song from his latest project I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU, Peggy flagrantly disses Drizzy by referencing Kendrick Lamar‘s allegation that he’s pedophile.

“Private school rappers don’t know what it is / If I show you a Drac’, I ain’t playin’ with kids,” he raps.
The experimental MC/producer jabs Drake again on the very next song, “New Black History” which features Vince Staples, spitting: “When I come around better stare at the floor / ‘Cause I’m in that mode, on my own I got that flavor (Jonathan Major) / ‘Specially when y’all cashing out for PDFs and rapers (No Drizzy).”

After the lyrics started going viral, JPEGMAFIA took to X (formerly Twitter) to double down on his disparaging bars and call out Drake’s fans.
“1st off i been dissing that n-gga since 2016, them shits was throwaway bars not noteworthy,” he wrote. “Second off if anybody got a problem with what i said on this album, my tour dates in bio.
“Third, y’all cant even pay your rent but defending drake for free, go outside and be somebody.”

Peggy has previously discussed why he does not like Drake, saying to Billboard in 2018: “I been randomly dissing Drake for like five years. I don’t know why. I guess, because Drake, it’s kinda you know what? I thought before, I don’t actually have a problem with Drake. I really don’t hate him.
“I guess it’s my fucked up, trolly internet way of paying homage to him and just paying homage to how big he actually is. He’s so big that yeah, I have been dissing him for five years, just because like he’s big as fuck.

“He’s like the Omni-king or some shit like that. He’s just like ever-present. So much so that every single person has an opinion on Scorpion whether it’s like bad or good.”
Drake isn’t the only rapper who has found themselves in the crosshairs of the former soldier. Earlier this year, JPEGMAFIA went off on Kanye West in a social media rant, only to meet up with the rap mogul days later and contribute to his Vultures 1 album with Ty Dolla $ign.
JPEG also took aim at fellow Vultures 1 collaborator Freddie Gibbs in the same rant and later tore into him in a separate tirade after they stayed at the same hotel.
“Bald head pussy bitch ima fuck ya mamma n-gga. Cry harder,” he wrote in since-deleted tweets. “N-gga dressed like cult member. Not a gang member. Wheres the gangsta shit? Why your daddy a cop. Why your baby got a Dick dent? Whos really corny? Gang member?

“You know when n-ggas got a cop for a dad it negates the gangsta shit they say? Right? Ima call your dead dad and make him arrest your pussy ass.”
