Uncle Snoop himself came across the post before sharing his reaction in an Instagram repost.

Drake Recently Thanked 21 For Supporting Him Amid Kendrick Lamar Feud
Seeing Drake showing support by double-tapping the hairdo post comes just weeks after the Canadian showed love to 21 on his new album. Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar’s feud had left some rappers in a difficult spot. While some were out here choosing teams, one person who didn’t switch up their loyalty to Drizzy was 21. On his new album, ‘Some Sexy Songs 4 U,’ with PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drizzy gave his longtime collaborator and friend a shoutout on the track, ‘Gimme a Hug.’ In the song, Drake calls himself Neo from ‘The Matrix,’ dodging bullets left and right. After those lyrics, he slid in a bar for 21. “Savage, you the only n***a checkin’ on me when we really in some sh*t, brother,” he raps.
You might recall that in May 2024, Savage hopped on Instagram Live and shut down all the noise about choosing sides, per Complex.
“Don’t keep coming on to my muthaf****** Live talking about no muthafucking beef,” he clapped back. “Metro my brother and Drake my brother. Those n***as going to figure that shit out eventually.”
