Los Angeles, Jan 22 (NationPress) Rapper A$AP Rocky is setting the record straight regarding his connection with fellow artist Drake. The 37-year-old rapper recently addressed the rumors surrounding their supposed feud and the origins of these discussions.
In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, A$AP Rocky elaborated on the current state of their relationship and the complexities of their interactions, as reported by People magazine.
Ebro Darden expressed his curiosity, stating, “I’m kinda asking this, I wanna know the inside.” A$AP Rocky responded, “Please do.”
The host inquired if there was indeed a “real issue” between him and the 39-year-old Canadian rapper.
According to People, Darden was also interested in whether their dynamic resembled “wrestling,” where both artists might be “trolling” and “rage baiting” fans to promote their projects, particularly after speculation arose that A$AP Rocky's track ‘Stole Ya Flow’ from his latest album Don’t Be Dumb was aimed at Drake.
“I think hip-hop tactics and beefs are akin to WWF. It’s like wrestling all the way, right? But the situation between us, it’s not real smoke,” A$AP Rocky clarified.
“But I just don’t f* with him,” he added. The camaraderie between the “F problems” collaborators has dwindled in recent years, particularly as both have been involved in long-term relationships with Rihanna.
“We were once friends,” A$AP Rocky recounted to Darden, indicating that their rift is likely “over females.”
“I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that,” Rocky stated. “And I think at some point when everyone is getting older, you’re supposed to be moving on. For you to still be fixating on a female, that’s soft to me. I didn’t release an album.”
