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

But it was well worth the wait, this my top drake album

F*** m̶y̶ ̶e̶x̶ the girl I was dating when this released

I wish I liked Evil Ways more 🤷‍♂️

can someone explain the meaning for me please?

"Word to M Dolla, she the only one who could maybe save it
Should've hit you first but sis you know about the s*** i'm taking"

M Dolla is Rihanna's best friend. I guess he's saying she's the only one that can keep things "peaceful" between Drake and Rihanna lol.

TELL THE SQUAD I SAID WATTUP GIRL

but nah forreal, I thought it could be about this but was looking deeper into it, especially with the line being after he mentioned the Red Button

Yeah the placement of that line is suspicious

yeah makes me wonder.... I think he knows some very fishy s*** about big people inside the industry

cant forget about all the times he mentioned lines being tapped and the whole "dialed in" references

One one one, yeah

And then we’ll see who’s really crazy

red button is such a good song, shame people started looking at it like a prequel beef tease like we're in marvel universe. That beat is majestic

Love this song. People thinking this was a prequel to the beef drives me crazy, but Drake played into it with the IG story posts.
