A$AP Rocky Criticizes Drake in “Stole Ya Flow,” Discusses Their Feud

A$AP Rocky has reignited his feud with Drake in his latest album, Don’t Be Dumb. The track titled “Stole Ya Flow” features pointed remarks directed at Drake, hinting at their complicated past and current tensions.

A$AP Rocky’s Bold Claims in “Stole Ya Flow”

In “Stole Ya Flow,” Rocky taunts Drake concerning his relationship with Rihanna. The mention of their rumored fling adds a personal layer to the lyrics. He raps, “First you stole my flow / So I stole your bitch.” This line not only accuses Drake of appropriating Rocky’s style but also suggests a rivalry over romantic interests.

Rocky also makes an apparent reference to Drake’s alleged cosmetic surgery, stating, “N*ggas getting BBLs, lucky we ain’t body-shame.” These statements highlight the intensity of their lyrical exchange.

Confirmation of Targeted Diss

In an interview with The New York Times’ Popcast prior to the album’s release, Rocky confirmed the implications of the song. When asked if the song was about Drake, he simply remarked, “I think we all know [who I’m talking about].” The easy acknowledgment of Drake as the target demonstrates the public nature of their feud.

When further probed about whether “Stole Ya Flow” was a blatant diss, he replied, “It’s for whoever thinks it’s about them.” This open-ended remark keeps fans speculating on the feud’s intricacies.

Rocky’s Take on Their Relationship

Rocky shared insights into his relationship with Drake, revealing that former friends have turned into rivals. He stated, “I just started seeing people who started out as friends become foes. It seemed like they were unhappy for [me] and started sending shots.” He expressed no desire to reconcile, saying, “It don’t even need to be [resolved]. For what?” This sentiment suggests a deeper rift rather than a simple rivalry.

Background of the Feud

The animosity began to surface in late 2023 when Drake aimed barbs at Rocky and Rihanna on his album For All the Dogs. In the track “Fear of Heights,” Drake rapped lines that seemed to mock their past relationship. His lyrics included, “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be.”

Drake also referenced Rihanna’s album Anti in the same verse, intensifying the rivalry. He stated, “I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you,” which further fueled the conflict.

Lyrical Back-and-Forth

The exchange between Rocky and Drake has led to numerous lyrical confrontations. Their back-and-forth can be heard in several tracks, including “Family Matters,” Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands,” and Kid Cudi’s “Wow.” This ongoing feud reflects the undercurrents of competition and rivalry that often characterize the hip-hop industry.
