A$AP Rocky Fires Back at Drake's 'Where She At' Diss: 'It's Just Bugged Out'
A$AP Rocky recently appeared on The Jason Lee Show to address his drama with Drake, dismissing the idea of a celebrity boxing match and clarifying Rihanna's role in his music promotion. He detailed the origins of their conflict, linking it to his relationship with Rihanna, while also sharing tender moments about his family life.
A$AP Rocky recently made an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, where he candidly addressed the ongoing drama between himself and Drake, firmly shutting down any notion of a celebrity boxing match. When directly asked if he would be open to physically confronting his former friend, the Harlem rapper unequivocally stated his disinterest, preferring a more raw encounter if it were to come to blows. "He don't wanna see me," Rocky declared regarding the celebrity boxing suggestion, adding, "F— some gloves, n—a. Bare knuckle, like the Irish. We ain’t doin’ all that celebrity boxing sh–." This strong stance highlights his aversion to the superficiality of a public spectacle for their personal issues.
Rocky also took the opportunity to respond to Drake's disses on the track "Burning Bridges," particularly the lines questioning why Rihanna did not promote Rocky's latest project, *Don’t Be Dumb*. Rocky dismissed the jab as illogical, explaining his reasoning: "That’s stupid. This is the problem, though: If she would’ve posted my album, everybody would have been like, ‘You only went No. 1 ’cause your girl posted.’ … She not on my f—ing album. What single she supposed to be posting? She posted my album … after it went No. 1." He emphasized that the insinuation was unfounded and demonstrated a misunderstanding of their dynamic and his career achievements.
Reflecting on the persistent nature of the feud, Rocky expressed his frustration with the lingering attention. "Everybody done moved on with their lives and motherf—as still strung up on that sh–," he remarked, adding, "It’s just bugged out to me. The Internet antics and smear campaigns and all that, we see right through that. That’s why I just be like, ‘I ain’t responding to that.'" This sentiment underscores his desire to move past the public squabble and dismiss what he perceives as internet-driven negativity.
Delving into the origins of the conflict, A$AP Rocky reiterated previous statements that his issues with Drake began around 2020, coinciding with when he started dating Rihanna. In an earlier interview with Akademiks, Rocky recounted his initial interactions with Drake: "I thought [Drake] was my mans. I thought he was my dude. I first met him and he seemed embraceful and sh–. We went on tour with him." However, he noticed a shift in Drake's behavior once his relationship with Rihanna became public. "I think when I got with [Rihanna], he started throwing shots out of nowhere. I just woke up and felt like he was throwing subs and sh–," Rocky clarified, pinpointing the catalyst for the friction between the two artists.
Beyond the drama, the interview also touched on more personal and heartwarming moments. A$AP Rocky was shown never-before-seen footage of his daughter crawling for the first time, a tender moment that brought a different tone to the conversation. He also spoke affectionately about Rihanna, acknowledging her unwavering support and presence in his life, both as a friend and a romantic partner.
