Hold onto your hats, hip-hop fans! Drake just dropped a snippet of a new track called ‘ICEMAN,’ and it sounds like he’s taking aim at several artists, with A$AP Rocky seemingly in his crosshairs. This latest move is adding fuel to the ongoing discussions about rap rivalries.
New Snippet, Old Beefs?
In the leaked clip, Drake, also known as Drizzy, delivers some pointed lyrics. He starts by rapping, “Talk about Drake and you get a whole lot/ Talk about Drake and you get you some streams,” which could be interpreted as a jab at artists who gain traction by mentioning his name. But things get more specific later in the track.
Drake then seems to call out A$AP Rocky directly, referencing the legal troubles Rocky faced. “Man how the f–k is your day one gonna testify so you can sit in a box/ Either you ain’t never did s–t for your brothers or they must’ve forgot,” Drake raps, hinting at betrayal and legal proceedings.
The A$AP Rocky Legal Situation
This lyrical jab comes after A$AP Rocky was found not guilty of felony assault charges related to an altercation with A$AP Relli in Hollywood. Relli had accused Rocky of firing a handgun during the incident. Rocky’s defense claimed he fired blanks from a prop gun in self-defense, a claim the jury reportedly believed.
However, the legal battle isn’t entirely over. A$AP Relli is now pursuing a civil trial, aiming to seek financial damages from Rocky. This ongoing legal drama provides the backdrop for Drake’s latest lyrical commentary.
Rocky’s Past Comments on Drake
Interestingly, A$AP Rocky himself has previously commented on his relationship with Drake, particularly in the context of the highly publicized feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Rocky told Rolling Stone that he felt the battle was primarily between Kendrick and Drake, not involving others. He expressed dislike for the ongoing legal actions, stating, “I just hate the way it’s turning out with [Drake] suing and all that. What part of the game is that?”
With Drake’s new snippet, it seems the waters are getting murkier, and the lines between personal beefs and the music industry continue to blur. It’s a classic case of hip-hop artists using their platform to address perceived slights and rivalries.
