On Saturday, October 5, Canadian hip-hop star Drake made an appearance at Tyrone Edwards’ Nostalgia Party in Toronto. During the gathering, the artist launched into a mysterious soliloquy, discussing the topic of genuine friendships and seemingly calling out certain individuals in the music industry who he felt had betrayed him.
After taking the stage, Drake remarked:
“My real friends are definitely in the building, but I’m gonna tell you: You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up…”
He continued to speak about the reality of backstabbing and how, at times, one must navigate life alone, asserting that this is just how life functions. Following his speech, many online users ridiculed him, likening his behavior to that of a high school student.
According to XXL, Drake later asked the DJ to play tracks that resonated with his speech, which included 50 Cent’s “Many Men”and Beyoncé’s “Me, Myself, and I.”This request sparked significant reactions across social media.
A video clip from the event was widely shared, with Akademiks TV on X uploading the footage. Here’s a selection of comments that surfaced:
“He def beefing w Hov,”stated one commenter.
“I thought he wasn’t bothered 😂😂😂😂,”tweeted another user in response.
“Damn he takin bout Hov,”claimed another Twitter user.
“Kendrick turned Drake into a motivational speaker,”added someone else.
Various other opinions on his outburst were shared, such as:
“Lol just a rapper introducing the next track at a nostalgia show 🤗🤣,”commented another user
“This guy thinks he’s still in high school,”tweeted a different netizen.
“What is this high school behavior from the 6 GOD?? It can’t be 😵💫,”questioned yet another user
Drake Explored Themes of Betrayal in “Certified Lover Boy”
Reflecting on Drake’s recent comments regarding false friendships and betrayal, it’s interesting to note that he had previously touched on these themes in his 2021 album, *Certified Lover Boy*. The twelfth track titled “No Friends In The Industry”delved into similar sentiments.
This track gained considerable popularity, reaching the 11th position on the US Billboard Hot 100 and ninth on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The lyrics convey his sentiments clearly:
“No friends in the industry/ My brothers been my brothers, man, you niggas ain’t no kin to me, a fact, woah/ Yeah, you heard about me, you don’t know me more than that.”
Notably, his outburst occurred shortly after he reportedly unfollowed a slew of artists, including Playboi Carti and Future, as reported by Billboard News on October 3. He even stopped following NBA figures like LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan, with whom he once had a close relationship.
In the aftermath of his comments, Charlamagne Tha God from The Breakfast Club shared his thoughts, suggesting that Drake might still be affected by the situation. On October 7, he remarked about the impact of the ongoing rivalry with Lamar:
“I didn’t think that it had that much of an impact on Drake. Drake’s hurt. Oh my God, he is hurt…”
Drake has previously announced that he is collaborating with PartyNextDoor on a new project, although no release date has been disclosed as of yet.
