DJ Khaled was supposed to get two Drake features on his album a couple of years ago. However, comments made during the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef led to an icy relationship between Khaled and the Canadian megastar.
Subsequently, Drake made a snide comment suggesting that he would no longer be on Khaled's upcoming album. Khaled himself never responded, but his actions were louder than words as it is two years later and the album still hasn't arrived. In interviews, he has stated that the album is delayed because he wants to make it perfect. Hip-Hop fans remain skeptical that this is the case.
Over the weekend, Khaled was spotted by fans who asked him on camera who his top five rappers were. In the past, Drake would have been his first choice. However, that didn't happen here. Instead, he named Jay-Z, Biggie, Tupac, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross. Three of these six have had issues with Drake in the past.
DJ Khaled Turns Heads With Top Five
It was a slick way of taking a shot at Drake without ever having to name him directly. Of course, there is always a chance that Khaled was just genuinely giving his six favorite artists. Fans on social media, however, do not see it that way at all.
Whether or not Khaled and Drake can put their beef aside remains to be seen. The only artist from the 2024 battle that Drake seems to be cool with again is Future. Based on his bars from ICEMAN, it doesn't seem like he has plans to change that anytime soon.
As for Khaled, we will just have to wait and see if that album ever sees the light of day.
