A$AP Rocky Reveals Truth Behind Drake Feud: It’s Personal

A$AP Rocky has addressed his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Drake, revealing that the conflict centers around personal relationships. In an interview with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, Rocky clarified that the tensions between him and Drake stem from issues involving women, a revelation that has sparked considerable interest among fans.

During the candid conversation aired on January 21, 2026, Rocky discussed his latest album, Don’t Be Dumb, and the implications of his strained relationship with Drake. The two artists, who have collaborated in the past on tracks such as 2012’s “Fuckin’ Problems” and toured together during the Club Paradise tour, have seen their bond become increasingly fraught over the years.

Rocky likened the dynamics of hip-hop feuds to the theatrics of professional wrestling, suggesting that much of the drama may be exaggerated for public consumption. Nonetheless, he asserted that his discord with Drake is genuine and rooted in deeper feelings. “I just don’t ***k with him,” Rocky stated plainly. “We was once friends. I feel like it’s over females. I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that.”

The Harlem rapper emphasized that, as they both mature, it’s important to move past such conflicts. He remarked, “For you to still be picking at a female and all that, that’s soft to me.” Rocky’s comments hint at a sense of frustration with their situation, suggesting that both artists should be more focused on their individual successes rather than personal disputes.

Rocky is clear that his album, Don’t Be Dumb, serves as his first opportunity to express his feelings about certain topics and individuals after a period of silence lasting nearly a decade. “I’m talking to whoever feel like I’m talking to ’em,” he explained, articulating his desire to address unresolved issues openly.

The rapper also noted that while the tension may be real, it does not have to escalate into something more serious. “I do think that is petty and like I said, it’s enough money, it’s enough women, it’s enough fame, spotlights to go around. We not really tripping off nothing, but is it real smoke? It could never be,” he added.

Released on January 16, 2026, Don’t Be Dumb marks Rocky’s fourth studio album. Fans and critics alike are eager to see how his reflections on personal conflicts will shape his music moving forward. The interview has created a buzz, with many anticipating a potential response from Drake regarding these revelations.
