A$AP Rocky just confirmed what fans have been saying for years. The long running tension between him and Drake really does come down to Rihanna, and at this point, Rocky is not sugarcoating it.
During a recent sit down with Ebro Darden on Apple Music, A$AP Rocky openly addressed the situation and made it clear there is no mystery left. When asked about the feud, Rocky bluntly said, “I don’t f with him.” He went on to explain that the tension is not about rap competition or industry antics, but simply personal issues involving women. Rocky compared most rap beefs to WWE style entertainment, but made it clear this one is different because the relationship is genuinely done.
Rocky has also been letting his feelings spill into the music. On his new album Don’t Be Dumb, fans immediately clocked shots aimed at Drake, especially on the track Stole Ya Flow, where Rocky raps about taking another man’s girl and makes slick references that many interpreted as jabs tied to long running rumors. The moment Rihanna liked and cosigned the track on Instagram, social media went into a frenzy.
What makes the situation even more layered is the history between the two rappers. A$AP Rocky and Drake were once close collaborators, touring together in 2012 and linking up on tracks like Problems. Fast forward to now, Rocky is married to Rihanna and raising three children with her, while fans continue to speculate that Drake has never fully let the situation go.
Media personalities have weighed in as well. Charlamagne Tha God recently commented that he is tired of hearing about A$AP Rocky only when it involves dissing Drake, suggesting fans want more focus on the music itself. Rocky, however, appears unbothered by the criticism and fully comfortable standing on his words.
At this point, the feud is no longer about subliminals or speculation. A$AP Rocky said exactly how he feels, and the honesty only added fuel to an already fiery conversation. Whether fans see it as petty or justified, one thing is clear. This chapter of hip hop tension is rooted in real life, and Rocky is done pretending otherwise.
