Drake's got a lot of enemies right now.

After Kendrick Lamar released his new album but before news broke of Drake's two different legal actions against his parent label Universal Music Group and Spotify, the rapper joined Quebecois streamer xQc for a livestream on Kick on Sunday (Nov. 24).


You never know what Drake will say with a live mic, so many fans tuned in to see if he'd have words about the Kendrick Lamar beef or any other hot topics. Between confirming an upcoming Australia tour and giving an update on his collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, he also threw some subtle shade at his former friend The Weeknd.

As his song "Starboy" started playing, Drake quickly told xQc to "switch that one off." When the host asked him why he doesn't listen to it, he answered "we're real 6ixers, we don't listen to that." He told him to turn on Blink-182 instead. "I want to hear that real sh-t," he said over the sounds of "Dammit."

The Weeknd was born in Scarborough, Ontario, a district of Toronto, a.k.a The 6ix. The Weeknd began his career affiliated with Drake, but the two have had their own long-simmering beef. The Weeknd was spotted in the audience at Kendrick Lamar's "Pop Out" concert on Juneteenth, which included performances of all of the rapper's diss tracks and multiple performances of the scathing "Not Like Us."

Former Toronto Raptor DeMar DeRozan was also at that concert. That clearly upset Drake, who called him out on a recent game broadcast. Evidently, he still has beef with The Weeknd too.

Drake didn't address Kendrick or his new album by name, but did reference Kendrick and his "false accusations" indirectly. "You need facts to take me out, fairy tales won't do it," he said.
