"That boy back number one [goat emoji]," he wrote. When news of a song called "Brian Steel" landing on Drake and PartyNextDoor's first made its rounds online, many fans speculated that Young Thug could be featured on it. This isn't the case, but in the song, Drake does appear to address a viral tweet that Young Thug posted shortly after he was released from prison. ".@Drake @1future @MetroBoomin we all bruddas. Music aint the same without us collabin," Young Thug's tweet read. At the time, Future retweeted it, indicating that he might be on board to reconcile with Drake.
Based on some of Drake's lyrics, however, he didn't feel the same way. "Broski just hit me, said, 'Put all the beef on the side,' I can't/Mm-mm, I'm heated now, yeah/N****s want meet up, talk about sh*t, I'm vegan now (For real)/Evil eyes were staring at me and I see it now," he raps.
