Nah it’s about Abel

i always think its bout kendrick-kanye (sneaker reference?)

This may be a reference to Joe Budden who he mentioned in the first verse as following Budden’s critical review of For All The Dogs, Drake responded to him in an Instagram comment in which he described his music career failed while also stating that no one respected or cared that he retired:

You retired and we never hung up your jersey we don’t even remember your number. We know you for doing this… you withdrew from rap not cause you accomplished all you need to it’s cause it wasn’t working for you.

Drake states that following Budden’s retirement, he wasn’t treated with the respect he may have expected due to his rapping skills which he criticized Drake for.

It was Kendrick and Abel

So many people running with this fake narrative

Sometimes i reminisce summer 2023 when this chat was goated 🥲

Back when me and @snowchild were dropping the scoops 🥲

Hilarious how so many people dont realize that entire verse is about weeknd

I’m almost expressionless
John Cena won’t know emotions I wrestle with

he did his thing on this

imagine if he had this energy on heart part 6

One year ago today, the storm before the calm dropped

It was like 4am
