A$AP Rocky Dishes on Drake in Candid Interview: No Love Lost

A$AP Rocky opens up about his complicated past with Drake during a recent interview, addressing diss tracks and relationship dynamics.

In a recent appearance on The Jason Lee Show, A$AP Rocky pulled back the curtain on his rocky relationship with fellow rapper Drake. As the two artists have been at odds since Rocky's romance with Rihanna, this conversation sparked intrigue among fans eager for clarity in the midst of diss tracks and public speculation.
No Interest in Celebrity Boxing
Rocky was asked whether he would entertain the idea of a celebrity boxing match with Drake—a suggestion that raised eyebrows but didn’t faze the Harlem rapper. "He don’t wanna see me," Rocky replied, dismissing the idea outright. "F— some gloves, n—a. Bare knuckle, like the Irish. We ain’t doin’ all that celebrity boxing sh–.”
His refusal of the boxing match speaks volumes about his decision to rise above the drama and not engage in the theatrics that often accompany celebrity feuds. Instead, he focused on the deeper issues and motivations at play.
The Diss That Doesn’t Add Up
Drake's recent diss lines in "Burning Bridges" referenced Rihanna and questioned her failure to promote Rocky’s project, Don’t Be Dumb. However, Rocky felt the jab fell flat. "That’s stupid," he remarked, asserting that any suggestion the promotion would change his success is misguided. "If she would’ve posted my album, everybody would have been like, ‘You only went No. 1 ’cause your girl posted.’" This candid commentary showcases Rocky's perspective on how the media and fans can twist narratives, particularly in the world of celebrity.
The Origin of Their Fallout
Digging deeper, Rocky hinted at the genesis of their issues, tracing it back to when he began dating Rihanna in 2020. Reflecting on these dynamics, he shared, "I thought [Drake] was my mans. I thought he was my dude." Yet he felt blindsided as Drake seemingly threw subtle shots in his direction shortly after his relationship began. It seems that beneath the glitz, there’s a genuine disappointment over how their friendship unraveled.
Keeping it Real
In the stirring exchange, Rocky emphasized the absurdity of how the online community clings to old dramas, stating, "Everybody done moved on with their lives and motherf—as still strung up on that sh–. It’s just bugged out to me." A refreshing dose of honesty from the star, Rocky is keenly aware of how the public narrative can spin out of control, often detracting from the real lives behind the headlines.
The conversation also touched on lighter moments, including never-before-seen footage of his daughter crawling for the first time. Rocky underscored Rihanna's unwavering support throughout their journey, whether as a friend or romantic partner.
