Drake Receives Offer From Uma Thurman for Her ‘Kill Bill’ Suit Amid His Rap Beefs: ‘Need This?’

The 6 God typically uses a pen rather than a sword as his weapon of choice.

Drake is feeling like he’s being swarmed by opps in the rap game right now. As he asks on his leaked “Push Ups” diss track: “What the f–k is this a 20-v-1, n—a?”

The 6 God drew a line from his feuds to Hollywood when comparing his rap beefs to a photo of Uma Thurman (The Bride) in Kill Bill surrounded by enemies as she braces for a sword fight.


He posted the picture to his Instagram Story on Sunday (April 14), and Thurman got wind of the Drizzy shout-out.

The 53-year-old actress responded through an Instagram Story of her own featuring a photo of the iconic suit from the movie, seeing if Drake had any use for it. “Need this? @champagnepapi,” she wrote.

Drake replied in a repost hours later: “Yes pls. The pen is the Hattori Hanzo.” That’s a reference from the film’s samurai sword producer.

As for the OVO mogul’s weapon of choice, he elects to use his pen, which helped him snipe at plenty of his adversaries in rap with “Push Ups.” The hard-hitting diss track leaked on Saturday (April 13) finds Drake appearing to target Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and Rick Ross.

As Thurman’s post made the rounds on social media, Rick Ross continued to fan the flames of his feud with Drake, and chimed in on Instagram about the yellow suit, asking, “Think it fit me?”

Ricky Rozay didn’t waste any time with his response to Drake as he premiered his “Champagne Moments” diss track aimed at Drizzy with Akademiks on Saturday evening, just mere hours after Drake’s “Push Ups” hit the internet.

Interview: Jully Black on How to Remain Authentic as an Artist-Entrepreneur in the Music Industry

As she embarks on the second leg of her Songs and Stories tour, her first national tour in over a decade, the R&B/soul singer, speaker and broadcaster gets real about the challenges and opportunities that exist as an independent musician in Canada.

Jully Black has been one of Canada's leading voices in music since the early 2000s, but it's been over a decade since she last embarked on a full national tour. That changed this February with her Songs and Stories tour, which is taking her across the country. Today (Feb. 28), she embarks on the second leg of the tour starting at Ottawa's National Arts Centre and taking her to Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg and more.

The tour is a major milestone for Canada's Queen of R&B. It's a culmination of everything she's done in her multifaceted career, which has taken her from music to theatre, journalism to philanthropy to TV broadcasting. The show combines it all into what she calls "one big jambalaya stew of Jully Black" – a combination she showed in her showstopping performance of Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" at Billboard Canada Women in Music 2024 – but it's also a return to her roots.
