A$AP ROCKY FIRES BACK AT DRAKE ON KID CUDI ‘INSANO’ ALBUM AFTER RIHANNA DISS
A$AP Rocky has responded to Drake dissing him and Rihanna via Kid Cudi‘s new album.
Cudi dropped his latest offering INSANO on Friday (January 12) and it features a collaboration with the Harlem rapper called “WOW.”
On the track, A$AP Rocky appears to fire some shots in Drizzy’s direction, rapping: “These n-ggas can’t stomach me, gotta go get a mandrake.”
A mandrake is the root of a plant, historically derived either from plants of the genus Mandragora found in the Mediterranean region, and is used to treat a variety of stomach issues.
Drake appeared to target A$AP Rocky and Rihanna — who he was previously romantically linked to — on his For All the Dogs album which dropped in October.
On the song “Fear of Heights,” he led fans to believe he was addressing RiRi by rapping: “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you?/ That could never be/ Gyal can’t run me/ Better him than me/ Better it’s not me.”
Seemingly referencing her 2016 album, he added: “I’m anti, I’m anti/ Yeah, and the sex was average with you/ Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you/ Okay, I’m auntie like your daddy’s sister/ Auntie like a family picture/ And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH/ Yeah, that man, he still with you, he can’t leave you/ Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antigua.”
Then, on “Another Late Night,” Drake mentioned Rocky by name, rapping: “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, bitch, this shit get really Rocky/ Damn, what? Dirty how I did him in the Wraith.”
The A$AP Mob frontman was quizzed about the lyrics during an interview with TMZ the following month, but he remain tight-lipped.
Meanwhile, Kid Cudi’s INSANO album also features appearances from Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, Pharrell, Lil Yachty, DJ Drama and the late XXXTENTACION.
The album serves as the follow-up to 2022’s Entergalactic album, which was released alongside the Netflix series of the same name.
Cudi and Rocky previously collaborated on “Brothers” in 2013 and “A$AP Forever (Remix)” in 2018.
