The two rappers once built a long list of collaborations together, but their dynamic changed during the wave of rap feuds that dominated much of 2024. Even so, their shared catalog continues to appear in public moments, sometimes drawing attention back to the unresolved tension between them.<\/p>\n<p>In the video, Ross pauses during a live performance to address the audience before letting one of their best-known records take over the room. \u201cWe gon\u2019 let the n*a Drake sing a little,\u201d he says, stepping aside as the chorus of \u201cAston Martin Music\u201d begins to play. The moment, lighthearted on its surface, quickly found its way onto social media.<\/p>\n<p>When the clip was reposted online with the caption \u201cRick Ross\u2019 biggest song has his enemy on it,\u201d Drake appeared to respond with a series of crying-laughing emojis in the comments. The brief reaction did little to clarify where the two artists stand, but it served as another reminder that their history is difficult to separate from their present rivalry.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Drake reacts to Rick Ross playing his part on &#8220;Aston Martin Music&#8221; after telling the crowd, \u201cWe gonna let Drake sing a little\u201d <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1f440-2.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\udc40\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201c<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1f602.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude02\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1f602.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude02\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1f602.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude02\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1f602.png\" alt=\"\ud83d\ude02\" class=\"wp-smiley\" style=\"height: 1em; max-height: 1em;\">\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PsxBE93599\">pic.twitter.com\/PsxBE93599<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kurrco (@Kurrco) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kurrco\/status\/2029971644874441011?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-collaborators-to-critics\">From Collaborators to Critics<\/h2>\n<p>That history is extensive. Ross and Drake collaborated on several high-profile songs throughout the 2010s, making their partnership one of the more recognizable pairings in mainstream hip-hop during that period. Because those records remain popular, moments like this one continue to blur the line between past collaboration and current friction.<\/p>\n<p>The tension between the two artists became public during the larger chain of rap disputes that unfolded in 2024. Around that time, Kendrick Lamar\u2019s verse on Future and Metro Boomin\u2019s \u201cLike That\u201d set off a series of responses across the genre. Ross later joined the criticism of Drake, raising accusations about industry conflicts and personal matters.<\/p>\n<p>Drake responded with his own lyrics directed at multiple rivals, including Ross, weaving those remarks into a broader set of diss records. The exchange became part of a larger narrative that drew in several prominent figures in rap. Still, Ross has suggested that the disagreement may not be as severe as it appears from the outside. Speaking last year with Bootleg Kev, he downplayed the depth of the conflict. \u201cReal n*as stay real,\u201d he said. \u201cWas it something really deep? Nah.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also hinted that reconciliation might not be impossible. \u201cYou never know,\u201d Ross added with a laugh. \u201cSend me a white Belaire and I\u2019ll take a picture with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The complicated relationship between Drake and Rick Ross resurfaced again this week, this time through a concert clip that circulated&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14044,"featured_media":2833,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,6],"tags":[10,9],"class_list":["post-2772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-rss","tag-culture","tag-hip-hop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14044"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/westcoastaftershock.com\/wca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
