Offset has made it abundantly clear that he will not tolerate any Drake hate, calling out anyone that has anything negative to say about the Toronto rapper.
On Thursday (June 26), Complex shared a news story on Instagram about T-Pain criticizing Drake for not taking his own advice when it came to bowing out of the music industry “gracefully.”
While there were many comments shared below the post, one that stood out was from Offset, who came to his friend’s defense. “Da Boy is da boy shit ain’t gone change,” he wrote. “All dat hating on another grown man who does more numbers than everybody is Diabolical !!!!”
Though he didn’t say T-Pain’s name, the Migos rapper’s comment was made on a post about the drama between the autotune king and Drizzy.
In a recent episode of the Crash Dummies podcast, T-Pain said the 6 God inspired him to not overstay his welcome in the music industry — but that Drake has since ignored his own advice.
“One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn’t followed his own words,” T-Pain began. “Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.'”
“I have ever since said, ‘Thank y’all, I appreciate y’all. I’ll see y’all when I drop — don’t worry about it, I’ll just drop something. Let me know if you heard it,'” T-Pain joked. “Drake is like, ‘No, listen. OK, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y’all ain’t like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.'”
Drake didn’t take too kindly to T-Pain’s criticism. Hopping in the comments section of a TorontoRappers Instagram post showing a clip from the interview, Drizzy let it be known he wasn’t feeling Tallahassee Pain’s comments.
“This guy always had resentment for me [laughing emoji],” Drake wrote on Thursday (June 26). “You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”
Offset’s defense of Drake might stem from their long history of collaborations which started with the 2013 Migos song, “Versace.”
In 2023, Offset revealed how his life changed because of the collab, which came at a time he was incarcerated; so the Migos’ rise wasn’t immediately clear to him — but that changed pretty quickly once some of the women he was dealing with at the time caught wind of the Drake remix.
“I had a visitation thing,” he said on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “This is before my wife. You could have six visits in one day. They 30 minutes a piece. I had my mom on there, and I had like, six girls I was dealing with, but they wasn’t coming. My mother was coming every week, but the girls wasn’t coming.”
“Then all of a sudden, downstairs, they like, ‘You got six visits.’ I’m like, ‘I got six visits?’ I’m tryna think like… bro, they sit in the lobby,” Offset continued. “It’s like a screen, and it pops up the face, and they put they name and my name, and they’re going up and coming down, saying something to each other. Back to back. And I’m like, oh shit. I’m kinda like, what the fuck is going on? My mother is like son, it’s a lot of girls. I’m like mom, I don’t know. I just put them on the list. They just pulling up.”
