Key Takeaways<\/p>\n
A$AP Rocky joked he would fight Drake \u201cbare knuckles like the Irish\u201d in a preview of his upcoming Jason Lee interview.
\n The remark comes after years of lyrical back-and-forth between the two artists across multiple songs.
\n Rocky implied the tension began in 2020 after he started dating Rihanna, saying Drake began sending shots in his music.<\/p>\n
A$AP Rocky isn\u2019t afraid to get in the ring with Drake. On Monday (Aug. 3), in a clip from his upcoming interview with Jason Lee<\/a>, the father of three responded to a question about whether he\u2019d fight the \u201cShabang\u201d rapper.<\/p>\n Although the exchange only takes up a few seconds of the minute-long preview \u2014 and could very well have been edited to rile up the internet \u2014 Lee asked Rocky about watching celebrity boxing before cutting right to the chase: \u201cWould you fight Drake?\u201d The Harlem native then answered, \u201cBare knuckles like the Irish.\u201d<\/p>\n It could be a complete coincidence, but as many fans may already know, the self-proclaimed Iceman had a leaked track titled \u201cFighting Irish Freestyle<\/a>\u201d last year. Either way, Rocky\u2019s comments got a good chunk of the internet talking, especially considering their past jabs on wax. Take a look at the clip below, then revisit the \u201cF**kin\u2019 Problems\u201d collaborators\u2019 beef.<\/p>\n What happened between A$AP Rocky and Drake? The Harlem rapper explains<\/p>\n According to Rocky, Drake \u201cstarted throwing shots out of nowhere\u201d once he got with Rihanna, with whom the Don\u2019t Be Dumb artist now shares three children. \u201cI just woke up and felt like he was throwing subs and s**t,\u201d he explained. \u201cThat\u2019s 2020, gangsta. Me and shorty was locked in. Everything was subsequent after that. That\u2019s where all the shots started happening. That\u2019s when I started seeing n**gas saying funny s**t.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, the subliminals turned into full-fledged jabs in 2024, when Drake entered what may be one of the streaming era\u2019s biggest Hip Hop feuds with Kendrick Lamar. Around that time, Rocky implied that he slept with the mother of the Toronto native\u2019s son, Adonis, on Future and Metro Boomin\u2019s \u201cShow of Hands<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Drake returned the smoke on \u201cFamily Matters,\u201d where he predicted that Rocky would have another child with RiRi before releasing his next album. Just last year, the AWGE founder delivered eyebrow-raising lines on \u201cStole Ya Flow,\u201d including \u201cFirst you stole my flow, so I stole yo’ b**ch\u201d and \u201cN**gas getting BBLs, lucky we don’t body shame \/ Throwing dirt on Rocky name, turn around and copy game.\u201d<\/p>\n
