Oop! Drake Shares A Message About Fake Friends During Toronto Show Kendrick Lamar Rap Beef
Share

This year, Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s fans watched their bubbling beef boil over. Their back-and-forth disses about careers, Blackness, and families all culminated in the standout clapback, ‘Not Like Us.’ Drake has continued to pop out since the video for that four-minute blow dropped in July. Most recently, Drizzy highlighted his “real friends” and warned a Toronto audience about watching out for the fake ones.

Drizzy Drake Talks About Being Stabbed In The Back

According to Billboard, the rapper stepped out this past weekend in his hometown. While on the mic at a nostalgia party, he let it be known his “real friends” were with him that night.

“Listen, imma tell you one thing about nostalgia. One thing about nostalgia and this party here. My real friends are definitely in the building, but I’m gonna tell you: You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up. They might try to move funny with you. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you,” Drake said.

Wearing a yellow jersey and baggy pants with his signature cornrows, Drake shared that betrayal is a part of life. “You’ll come to that realization, wherever you’re at in life. You’ve probably been there and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is. But look, sometimes it’s you and you alone by yourself. Sometimes it’s you alone with your thoughts.”

Marlon Wayans Backs Drake’s Message About Fake Friends

On Tuesday (Oct. 8), Marlon Wayans reposted Drake’s quote about fake friends on his Instagram Stories. He also weighed in, backing Drizzy’s stance about how people can switch up.

“This sh*t is sooooo real. Fake friends, th works is full of them. I’ve been lucky enough to experience this. I know my real ones from the fake. And @champagnepapi all the great dybasties have lost the battle. Stay focused on the WAR. Everything is GOD. He gettin’ you out your comfort zone to find a better you. Trust the process,” Marlon wrote, per Hot 97.

Mario Performs At Nostalgia Party In Toronto

Drake wasn’t the only one who took the stage at the nostalgia party. R&B singer Mario was also in the building and performed hits like, ‘Let Me Love You.’ Champagne Papi was nearby vibing and having a time! Keep scrolling to see more videos of Drake and Mario vibing out with the audience.

Who Are The Fake Friends?

While Drake kept it 100 about fake friends, he didn’t point his fingers at anyone specific. As mentioned, his biggest public beef this year was with Kendrick Lamar. In June, after nine diss tracks total between him and Kenny, Drake seemingly bowed out of the booth battle. He shared a cryptic post on Instagram at the time.

“The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer,” Drake wrote in a carousel post that featured photos of him.

So, who exactly are these back-stabbers Drake might be hinting at? That remains unclear, but certain celebrities raised eyebrows with their reactions and actions amid Drizzy and K. Dot’s rap tussle.

LeBron James, for one, made no efforts to hide his enjoyment of more than one of Kenny’s disses, but especially of ‘Not Like Us.’ He and his wife, Savannah James, were in the building when Kendick hosted a ‘Pop Out’ concert in Los Angeles on Juneteenth.

Of course, Rick Ross, was also a surprising Drake collaborator who turned foe. Not only did he release his own diss against the 6God, but he also coined the ‘BBL Drizzy’ phrase that Metro Boomin’ eventually turned into a viral beat.

Speaking of Metro Boomin, he and Future gagged the industry when they featured ‘Like That’ on their joint album—the track that sparked the back-and-forth disses this year. ‘

Drake later clowned Metro and Rick Ross on the track ‘Push Ups,’ his first diss track response to ‘Like That.’ Drake’s bars in the song, “Metro shut yo h*e ass up and make some drums, n***a,” inspired viral memes.

Drake’s shots for Rozay went like, “I might take your latest girl and cuff her like I’m Ricky. Can’t believe he jumpin’ in, this n***a turnin’ fifty. Every song that made it on the chart, he got from Drizzy. Spend that lil’ check you got and stay up out my business.”

Young Money Tapped In For The Boy, Though!

Young Money, namely Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj, seemingly stood by Drizzy amid the intense rap beef, though.

For one, Nicki brought out her ‘No Frauds’ collaborator for her second show in Toronto during the first leg of her ‘Pink Friday’ tour. She didn’t speak directly on the beef though. In fact, it wasn’t until last month that Nicki name-dropped Kendrick. And that came amid her advocating for why Wayne should have been chosen as next year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner — not for Drake.

Two months prior, in July, Lil Wayne remixed the lyrics to ‘Not Like Us’ during a performance in Las Vegas.
