Drake is reacting to the backlash that he has been getting on social media for dissing Kid Cudi amidst his battle with depression.
On Sunday, Drizzy releaased four new singles and announced a new album “More Life.” But one of the tracks “Two Birds, One Stone” he went after Cudi and Pusha T, who both previously dissed him in the past. But the folks on Twitter weren’t too happy about his jab at the “Speeding Bullet” emcee.
Drake responded to one of his fans on Instagram who criticized him for dissing Kid Cudi. “Used to have a little respect left for you after finding out you have a ghostwriter, but dissing Kid Cudi is going too far. F*** you, man,” the fan, Nohakelly, wrote.
In his defense Drizzy noted that it was the G.O.O.D. Music rapper who threw the first punch. “Mans need to stop mentioning my name when they get geeked, supposed be all love out here word to my bro Pablo,” the 6 God wrote.
Here is a screenshot of the exchanged from DJ Akademiks.
The track “Two Birds, One Stone” also included some diss aimed at Pusha T who released a diss track aimed at Drake earlier this month. But Kid Cudi bared the blunt of the onslaught.
“You were the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry and famous / Rap like I know I’m the greatest,” Drake raps. “You stay xanned and perked up / So when reality set in you don’t gotta face it / I’m down 200 in Vegas but winning life on a daily basis / It seems like nobody wants to stay in my good graces
Last month Kid Cudi went on a Twitter rant calling out Drizzy and Kanye West telling his fans that they are fake rappers who don’t write their own raps.
Drake is getting ready to release his new album “More Life” in December and then hit the road for his “Boy Meet world Tour” in Europe starting January.
