In the world of hip hop, beefs and diss tracks are nothing new. But when two heavyweights like Rick Ross and Drake find themselves in a lyrical spat, fans pay attention.
The latest chapter in their ongoing feud began when Drake released his highly anticipated track “The Heart Part 6” in which he took shots at several rappers, including Rick Ross and Kendrick Lamar. The lines in question referenced Ross’ past legal troubles and questioned his authenticity as a rapper. Naturally, the hip hop community was buzzing with speculation about how Ross would respond.
And respond he did. In a recent interview with XXL, Ross addressed Drake’s diss, saying “You know, it’s all part of the game. I see what Drake is trying to do, but at the end of the day, I’m focused on making great music and staying true to myself. I don’t have time for petty beefs.”
Ross also took the opportunity to praise Kendrick Lamar, calling him a “true artist” and expressing his admiration for the Compton rapper’s talent.
So, it seems that for now, Ross is taking the high road in the beef with Drake, focusing on his music and leaving the drama behind. But knowing the unpredictable nature of the rap game, who knows what twists and turns this feud may take next. Stay tuned for more updates as the saga continues.
