ASAP Rocky Fuels Drake Diss Rumors On J. Cole Single

Fans believe the ongoing rap civil war has another chapter with ASAP Rocky dissing Drake again.

ASAP Rocky teamed up with J. Cole for “Ruby Rosary,” a standout single from Rocky’s upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, produced by The Alchemist. The track’s ethereal production features haunting piano melodies, eerie chimes, and a laid-back drum pattern that adds to the song’s dreamlike quality. Both Rocky and Cole deliver impressive verses, with Rocky lyrically grappling with his materialistic despair, while Cole makes the themes of struggle and desperation even more explicit. However, most listeners are zeroing in on Rocky’s lines for a different reason entirely.

As expected, fans immediately began scrutinizing Rocky’s verses for potential digs at Drake, reigniting speculation of a simmering feud. The most talked-about bars are: “You a dead man walking, like you barely alive / Cut everything but the family ties / Cut the st, cut the lies, word to the wise / Who in your top five? Haha (Fk your top five) / I don’t get fresh to death, b***h, I’m buried alive / I heard dawg talkin’ funny, like it’s Family Guy.” Some believe these lines allude to past tensions, including references to Drake’s “Buried Alive” interlude from Take Care, Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem’s collaborations, and Drake’s “Family Matters” diss, among other subliminals.

However, it’s all just speculation for now, especially since Rocky recently downplayed any tension with Drake during an interview with Billboard. “You got to realize, certain nas was throwing shots for years,” Rocky said. “I ain’t in the middle of that st. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some py boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. Nas getting really clipped and blitzed every day. Nas sniping n*as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

Meanwhile, Drake seems eager to continue the back-and-forth, eyeing his next move in this lyrical chess game. Whether he’ll focus on Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, or other rivals remains to be seen. Tracks like “No Face” suggest Drake’s readiness to take on multiple targets, including Rocky. However, fans should remember that “Ruby Rosary” is about much more than just potential disses, and Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb promises to be deeper than any rap beef.
