The 36-year-old rapper finally dropped For All The Dogs, his eighth studio, and Champagne Papi is coming in hot with top-notch features (Bad Bunny, SZA, J. Cole, etc.) But it's the lyrics that everybody's really talking about.
People are speculating that "Fear of Heights," the fourth track on the album, is dissing Rihanna, and I think the peanut gallery might be onto something here.
Fans have noticed the lyrics allegedly reference the "Bitch Better Have My Money" singer and her partner A$AP Rocky: "Why they make it sound like I'm still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can't ruin me / Better him than me."
People also noticed Drake made a possible reference to Rihanna's eighth studio, ANTI, before commenting on their intimacy: "I'm anti, I'm anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I'm anti 'cause I had it with you."
To celebrate the album's worldwide release, Drake hopped on a new episode of his SiriusXM series, Table For One, on SiriusXM's Sound 42, and he may have addressed his spicy lyrics.
"How can I describe this album to you? I'll keep it short and sweet," he started. "Please don't ask me what I feel if you can't handle the real. That's it, that's it."
Drake continued, directly addressing his exes, who might feel some way about his lyrics. "I apologize in advance. Maybe that was, that's probably the alternate album title too. You know, to all my exes, I'll tell you one thing. You know the value of every purse, but you definitely don't know the value of hard work."
"God bless you all, though. You know, I, I hope that these songs are songs that you can enjoy and you can tell people that they're about somebody else," he said.
Here's what everybody had to say about "Fear of Heights" being a possible Rihanna diss track:
Drake disses/make references about Rihanna almost every album. At this point it’s an ongoing trope in his music so who cares. She has two beautiful BLACK children that don’t have to work extra hard to overcompensate for the one drop rule and that will forever haunt him.
Rihanna ended you in every different way possible. Reminder, you didn’t even have a #1 song until you hopped on a Rihanna track. So do NOT get bold on miss Robyn Fenty!
Rihanna ended her relationship with Drake years ago. Since then she’s started her own makeup line, had a family, and got nominated for an Oscar. I promise you she’s not worried about that man.
