Drake’s comments come amid rising tensions with Lamar, with both rappers exchanging diss tracks. The feud escalated when Drake unfollowed NBA stars LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan on Instagram after they showed support for Lamar. DeRozan even performed at Lamar’s Juneteenth concert, further fueling the tension.
During his speech, Drake played 50 Cent’s song “Many Men,” a track about betrayal, reinforcing his message about the challenges of dealing with disloyal friends. As his rivalry with Lamar continues, Drake’s focus seems to be on those who remain loyal, while the feud between the two rappers shows no signs of slowing down.
