Drake<\/a> is seemingly calling out those who stayed quiet amid his Kendrick Lamar<\/a> feud.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old rap superstar released a trio of albums on Friday (May 15), and on his ICEMAN song \u201cFirm Friends,\u201d he\u2019s lashing out at those who didn\u2019t have his back amid the back-and-forth.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think I didn\u2019t see that you stayed silent \/ That\u2019s like you endorsing it all, may as well stand behind him \/ I stood beside you, thought there was some good inside you \/ Situations like these, they force you to notice the difference,\u201d Drake reflects, presumably calling out people who didn\u2019t support him amid the highly publicized 2024 diss track battle.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I get it, you all wanna be the main guy \/ It explains why most people die not knowin\u2019 who would\u2019ve stuck by they side \/ It doesn\u2019t even cross they mind, they just go along for the ride \/ They\u2019ll never know they friends\u2019 decision, friends never had to decide,\u201d he declares.<\/p>\n

Drake does however directly shout out some friends who\u2019ve stayed by his side, including the song\u2019s producer Conductor Williams and Noel Cadastre, or OVO Noel, who\u2019s worked with Drake for years as his engineer and producer. He also shouts out creative director Ref1 and longtime friend Neeks, or Nicholas Carino, who was the label\u2019s marketing manager.<\/p>\n
