Drake has dropped a thrilling new single titled "What Did I Miss?" In this latest release, co-produced by an impressive lineup of talents including DJ Lewis and Tay Keith, the Toronto rapper dives deep into his tumultuous history with Kendrick Lamar, addressing the fallout and those who stood by him during the feud.
The song kicks off with Drake reflecting on his past battles, stating, "Askin’ me, ‘How did it feel?’ Can’t say it didn’t surprise me/ Last time I looked to my right, you n****s was standing beside me/ How can some people I love hang around pussies who try me?" Through these lines, he channels his feelings of betrayal and loyalty.
In a gripping follow-up verse, he even calls out Kendrick directly by referencing the latter's fiery Pop Out concert in Inglewood, where Kendrick took shots at Drake. Drake raps, "I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been dick-riding gang since ‘Headlines.’" This line highlights the shifting allegiances among their circle of friends.
The conflict reignited when Kendrick threw subtle jabs at Drake in Future and Metro Boomin's track "Like That." With both Future and Metro once deeply connected to Drake's career, their involvement in the feud has further stirred the pot. The Weeknd's appearance on Future's "We Still Don’t Trust You" was also seen as a signal of changing loyalties. Adding to the drama, Rick Ross entered the fray with his own diss track aimed at Drake titled "Champagne Moments."
With "What Did I Miss?", Drake not only underscores the intensity of his rivalry with Kendrick but also sheds light on the shifting dynamics within hip-hop friendships. Fans are buzzing, and it’s clear that this track is more than just music; it’s a raw confession of loyalty, betrayal, and the challenges of fame. Tune in and feel the heat!
