Drake has been staunch in standing alongside Tory Lanez, calling for his freedom on multiple occasions after the singer was convicted in the 2020 felony shooting of Megan Thee Stallion.

The 6 God had some time on Sunday (Aug. 24), as he hopped into the comments of a resurfaced Tory Lanez Genius interview clip, which found the singer reciting bars to Lil Wayne’s Dedication 2 classic “Cannon.”


“Of course this good Markman couldn’t finish the bar… Free Tory,” Drake wrote while mocking journalist Rob Markman. The clip features a 2019 interview between Markman and Lanez, who stopped by for an episode of the journalist’s For the Record series on Genius.

Markman fired back on X, referencing Drake’s ongoing lawsuit against Universal Music Group. “I could call him names too But you know he love to sue,” he quipped.

It’s not the first time Drake has taken shots at Markman. Back in 2019, he hopped into Joe Budden’s Instagram Live and wanted to see Budden play any of his collection of Drake diss tracks or Pusha T’s “The Story of Adidon.”

“Yo play your diss songs for me right now I want to see if they ring off,” he wrote. “Play story of adidon right now and see if it rings off I promise the only person that’s gonna know the words is Rob Markman.”

Lanez is currently serving a 10-year sentence for the felony shooting of Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. He was convicted of three felonies in December 2022 and sentenced in August 2023.

Lanez was stabbed in prison in May, which resulted in him being hospitalized to treat his injuries.

As for Drake, he’s teasing a second interview with Bobbi Althoff, which appears as if it will be the launch episode of her Not This Again podcast.
