A$AP Rocky appeared to take another jab at Drake on Tuesday (June 30). During his show in Seattle, Rocky held up a fan’s sign seemingly antagonizing the 6 God and his trifecta of albums from May.

“This cutie smoked all 3 of your f–ka– albums,” the sign read, appearing to be a snipe at Drake. The caption was emblazoned on a black U.S. flag with a photo of Rocky in a bonnet and brushing his teeth at the flag’s center.


Rocky looked to be laughing as he showcased the flag on stage to the Climate Pledge Arena crowd. Photos of the moment went viral on social media.

There was another clip from the show of Rocky catching and stopping himself from rapping along to Drake’s bars from 2012 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “F–kin Problems,” which he’s continued to perform at every stop of the Don’t Be Dumb World Tour.

Billboard has reached out to Drake for comment.

Once upon a time, Drake and Rocky were collaborators and friends. Drizzy brought Rocky on the Club Paradise Tour as a supporting act in 2012. Earlier this year, Rocky recalled the turning point in their relationship to be after Yams Day in 2020.

“That’s 2020, gangsta. Me and shorty was locked in,” Rocky told Akademiks in an interview. “Everything was subsequent after that. That’s where all the shots started happening. That’s when I started seeing n—as saying funny s–t.”

Rocky agreed that the two have been beefing over women, with both rappers having romantic ties to Rihanna, as well as Drake’s baby mother, Sophie Brussaux.

The Harlem native took a jab at Drake on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You‘s “Show of Hands” in April 2024, which he claimed was a response to Drake’s rumored shots at Rihanna on For All the Dogs’ “Fear of Heights.” Drizzy returned fire by taunting Rocky on his Kendrick Lamar diss track “Family Matters.”

The feud added another chapter in 2026 when Rocky shaded Drake on Don’t Be Dumb‘s “Stole Ya Flow.” “First you stole my flow, so I stole yo b—h … My baby mama Rihanna, so we unbothered,” he raps. (Rocky shares three children with the nine-time Grammy winner.)

The 6 God didn’t waste much time with his brutal response on ICEMAN‘s “Firm Friends” and “National Treasure” in May. “KYS ASAP, that’s some s–t that you could do for me,” he belittled Rocky on “Firm Friends.” Drake also dropped another pair of albums alongside ICEMAN HABIBTI and MAID OF HONOUR.

Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb debuted atop the Billboard 200 in January with 123,000 equivalent album units earned, according to Luminate. He continues his North American trek north of the border with shows in Edmonton and Calgary this weekend.

Nickelback Announce ‘Everything Under the Sun’ Album, Drop Pummeling ‘Rattle the Cage’ Single

The Canadian rock band's 11th studio effort is due out on Oct. 30.

Nickelback came storming back on Tuesday (July 14) with the bruising single “Rattle the Cage,” the first taste of the veteran Canadian hard rock band’s upcoming 11th studio album, Everything Under the Sun. The barreling tune featuring a thrashing guitar solo from well-traveled metal guitarist John 5 (Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Mötley Crüe), finds singer Chad Kroeger howling, “With backs against the wall/ Has to be the one and one for all/ We face another day/ We raise the battle call/ Rattle the cage until it falls.”

The follow-up to 2022’s Get Rollin’ is set for release on Oct. 30, and, according to a release, it delivers the “complete spectrum of what has made Nickelback one of the biggest rock bands in the world. Across the album, towering arena-ready anthems collide with reflective songwriting, undeniable melodies, massive guitars, and the unmistakable chemistry that has defined the band for more than three decades.”
