On the night of April 13, after the apparent leak of his diss track “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me Fifty),” Drake posted a screenshot from the movie Kill Bill on his Instagram Story. It was the film’s iconic fight scene, during which Uma Thurman’s character takes on a room full of ninja assassins only to emerge victorious. The metaphor couldn’t be more applicable to Drake’s current situation, as he fends off what many are describing as “Rap’s Avengers,” out for blood since the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You. 

That record featured the chart-topping single “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, who shoots not-so-subtle barbs at Drake and J. Cole, taking particular issue with the line on the pair’s single “First Person Shooter” where Cole mentions a supposed “Big 3” in rap. But the conflict seems to run deeper than disputes over who is the greatest rapper. Even Drake makes that clear on “Push Ups,” noting that the “song y’all got did not start the beef with us/This shit been brewin’ in a pot, now I’m heatin’ up.”

The current flare-up of tensions appears to be dredging up dirty laundry going back several years at least. It finds Drizzy in the cross-hairs of several past collaborators and friends, suggesting a rift within a generation of hip-hop stars finally coming to a head. Here’s a running list of the players in rap’s burgeoning civil war.

There’s been chatter that Future wasn’t happy about Drake choosing to collaborate with 21 Savage on Her Loss two years ago instead of, say, making a follow-up to his and Future’s wildly successful 2015 joint project What a Time To Be Alive. Fans have also pointed to the track “What Would Pluto Do,” from Drake’s 2023 album For All the Dogs, as potentially being a sneak diss aimed at Future as opposed to the homage that many fans initially took it for. When Future and Metro Boomin’s joint project We Don’t Trust You first released, the hip-hop rumor mill was active with reports of the disagreement possibly stemming from Drake “stealing” Future’s girl, which would make the line “What would Pluto do? He’d fuck the ho, so I did it,” from Drake’s track, take on an entirely new meaning. So far, no one has been able to confirm any such rumor, and the source of the disagreement between the two stars, who appeared to be on good terms as recently as 2020, remains unclear.
