Drake Assaults Joe Budden, Melyssa Ford on New Album
For the primary time in a very long time, Drake is a trending matter for causes that don’t have anything to do with Kendrick.
The assistance from his fellow collaborator PartyNextDoor, Drizzy dropped a brand new album as we speak.

On a observe with the ironic title of “Gimme a Hug,” the rapper took some photographs at rival emcee Joe Budden. And Joe’s buddy and collaborator, Melyssa Ford, obtained a really backhanded praise.
“Melyssa Ford, you a legend from the Six, hate to see you with a d-ck-sucker,” Drake raps on the tune.
The Six that Drake refers to is Toronto, and sure, he and Melyssa share a hometown. So why is Drake calling out his fellow Ontario native?
Properly, since 2022, Ford — a mannequin, actress, and fashionable media persona — has additionally served as host of “The Joe Budden Podcast.”

Drake doesn’t appear to have any private beef with Melyssa. In actual fact, it appears he solely introduced her up as a method by which to assault Budden.
Nonetheless, it should come as a shock to listen to your self referred to as out by hip hop’s most infamous pot-stirrer.
Maybe properly, Melyssa has not but addressed this matter publicly.

However Budden was fast to bash Drake on social media:
Hey, Drake, don’t shoot at me mad that you just ice chilly. I’m not doing a back-and-forth with a corpse. I wished to do it when it was enjoyable,” he wrote.
“Don’t go get shot all through the year and then pop up like Bernie at Weekend at Bernie’s wanting to shoot at me now. No, n–ga. Go spin. Spin the f–king block. … Are you crazy?”
It’s true that Drizzy is in a weak spot nowadays. In actual fact, this most likely would have been time to launch an album with zero diss tracks.
However clearly, that ship has sailed.
