“Y’all had the summer going crazy. I thought all y’all were like… cool?” Sharpe asked Rozay of his relationship with Drake, with whom he’s collaborated in the past.

“I’mma be honest: On some rap sh–, it was no conspiracies,” he said, in reference to Drake’s “What the f— is this, a 20-v-1“ line in “Push Ups.” The Miami rapper then added, “Rozay name was said… I’mma jump off the porch. That’s what I do. I’mma jump off the porch and I’mma have some fun and that’s what I did. I had some fun.
Sharpe then asked Ross, “How do you determine who you respond to and who you don’t?” And Ross answered, “Is it something to gain for you? Somebody wake up and hate on Shay Shay, hate on Ocho, I mean… Let’s sit back, because not responding is a response when you a boss.”
Ross famously responded to the Toronto rapper’s disses aimed at him on “Push Ups” with his own diss record “Champagne Moments” only a few hours later on the same day. He and Drake continued to troll each other on social media for weeks even as the latter was focusing just on Kendrick Lamar. Things took a turn in July, though, when Rozay was attacked in Vancouver when his DJ played “Not Like Us” as he was trying to head back to his dressing room after performing at Ignite Music Festival.
Drake brought the beef up again in one of his most recent songs “No Face” with bars like, “N—as got lit off the features I skated on/ I gotta know, I gotta know, how you get lit off the n—a you hatin’ on?” and “This is the moment I know they been prayin’ on… Try knock The Boy off, but f— it, I’m stayin’ on.”
