A$AP Rocky has maintained he has no “real smoke” with Drake.
During an interview with Apple Music on Wednesday, host Ebro Darden asked the rapper about the inspiration for the lyrics on his song Stole Ya Flow, which fans have suggested indicates the pair are feuding.
In response, Rocky insisted that he simply has no interest in being friends with Drake.
“This thing between us it’s not real smoke, but I just don’t f**k with him,” he said. “We was once friends. I feel like it’s over females. I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that.”
Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, went on to call Drake “soft” for making repeated references to his longtime partner, Rihanna.
Previously, Drake and Rihanna had an on-again, off-again relationship from 2009 until 2016, with the pair collaborating on hit songs such as 2010’s What’s My Name? and 2016’s Work.
Rocky and Rihanna, 37, started dating in 2020 and share three children.
“I think at some certain point and everyone getting older and you supposed to be moving on. For you to be picking at a female, that’s soft to me,” the 37-year-old continued. “I didn’t put out music for me to say something back and I finally did say something back to a few people… I do think that s**t is petty. It’s enough money, women, fame, spotlights to go around. We not really tripping off nothing. Is it real smoke? It could never be. That ain’t real smoke.”
Drake, 39, has not yet publicly responded to his fellow rapper’s comments.
Rocky dropped his fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb, last week.
