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.

U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council Calls Three-Night Kanye West Booking at Wireless Festival ‘Deeply Irresponsible’

The group was joined by the Campaign Against Antisemitism in their condemnation of the booking of rapper who has repeatedly embraced pro-Nazi messaging and once sold swastika t-shirts.

The U.K.’s Jewish Leadership Council has issued a statement condemning the Wireless Festival for booking Ye (formerly Kanye West) as the headliner of all three nights (July 10-12) of the this year’s event at Finsbury Park in London. A spokesperson for the Council told the Guardian, “It is deeply irresponsible for Wireless festival to be headlining Kanye West. The UK Jewish community is facing record levels of antisemitism, including a terrorist attack in Manchester, the attack on ambulances in Golders Green and foiled plots which would have killed many more.”

West has a long history of making antisemitic statements, from releasing a song called “Heil Hitler,” to selling T-shirts with swastikas on them and declaring himself a Nazi.
