A$AP Rocky appeared to take shots at Drake on Don’t Be Dumb‘s “Stole Ya Flow,” and he addressed his simmering feud with the 6 God during an interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden on Wednesday (Jan. 21).

Rocky explained that despite the icy nature of their frayed relationship, there’s no “real smoke” between him and Drake, but things went wrong “over females.”


“This thing between us it’s not real smoke, but I just don’t f— with him,” he candidly said. “We was once friends. I feel like it’s over females. I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that.”

The Harlem rapper also labeled Drake as “soft” for sending repeated shots at Rihanna in recent years, and Rocky thinks it’s time for Drizzy to get over whatever happened in the past between them.

“I think at some certain point and everyone getting older and you supposed to be moving on. For you to be picking at a female, that’s soft to me,” he continued. “I didn’t put out music for me to say something back and I finally did say something back to a few people. I do think that sh– is petty. It’s enough money, fame, women, spotlights to go around. We not really tripping off nothing. Is it real smoke? It could never be. That ain’t real smoke.”

There were plenty of bars on “Stole Ya Flow” connected to Drake from Rocky. “Stole my flow, so I stole yo’ bi—/ If you stole my style, I need at least like 10 percent,” he raps, before adding. “First you was my bro, pussy n—a switched/ Turned into a opp, f— his block, he a bi—, boy.”

In 2024, Rocky also seemed to take more swipes at Drake during guest appearances on We Still Don’t Trust You‘s “Show of Hands,” and then on J. Cole’s “Ruby Rosary.”

That pair of shots followed Drake sniping at the Mob frontman on his “Family Matters” Kendrick Lamar diss track in May 2024. “Rakim talkin’ sh– again/ Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first, n—a, do the math, who I was hittin’ then/ I ain’t even know you rapped still ’cause they only talkin’ ’bout your ‘fit again/ Probably gotta have a kid again ‘fore you think of droppin’ any sh– again/ Even when you do drop, they gon’ say you should’ve modeled ’cause it’s mid again,” Drake raps.

Drake and Rocky had a closer relationship in the 2010s when Drizzy appeared on Rocky’s “F—in’ Problems” hit in 2012. The OVO rapper also brought Rocky on his Club Paradise Tour in the same year.

Rocky and Rihanna are currently dating and have three kids together, while Drake was romantically linked to RiRi throughout the first half of the 2010s. Many fans believed that Drake dissed Rihanna on For All the Dogs‘ “Fear of Heights.”

“Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you/ That could never be,” he sings. “Gyal can’t ruin me/ Better him than me, better it’s not me/ I’m anti, I’m anti/ Yeah, and the sex was average with you/ Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you/ OK, I’m auntie like your daddy sister/ Auntie like a family picture/ And I had way badder bi—es than you, TBH/ Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you/ Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles.”

CNE 2026 Bell SOUNDSTAGE Lineup: Charlotte Day Wilson, JoJo, Finger Eleven and More

As part of its partnership with NXNE and a renewed focus on live music, CNE will also welcome a special soon-to-be revealed global headliner presented by Billboard Canada on Aug. 28.

The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is embracing its musical roots with a high-profile lineup for 2026.

The beloved long-running fair, baptized The Ex by Torontonians, has unveiled the full list of artists who will be headlining the newly-named Bell SOUNDSTAGE at the Bandshell to celebrate the event's 147th edition. Canadian stars like Charlotte Day Wilson and Finger Eleven as well as international pop star JoJo have been added to this year's programming, which reflects a diverse mix of renowned names and rising stars across a multitude of genres including pop, hip-hop, Punjabi music and soca, among others. They join previously announced acts like Lights, Lupe Fiasco, Shaggy and more.

This year, the exhibition is partnering with Toronto music festival NXNE, to modernize its musical programming with chart-topping artists and newer acts, and revamping the Bandshell as the Bell SOUNDSTAGE. “Music is such a massive part of who we are,” Mark Holland, CEO of the CNE, told Billboard Canada in April during his Executive of the Week interview. "Connecting everybody to that is a democratic mission that we are really invested in."
