Drake had some time recently to address comments made by fellow artist T-Pain — and he didn’t hold back.

In a newly surfaced clip from the Crash Dummies podcast, T-Pain revealed that a past conversation with Drake actually inspired him to exit the music industry “on his own terms.” But according to the “I’m Sprung” hitmaker, Drake hasn’t lived up to his own words.

“One thing I learned from Drake, but one thing he hasn’t followed his own words,” T-Pain said. “Drake said, ‘I wanna be one of them people that gracefully bow out and not get kicked out.’”

T-Pain continued with a bit of humor: “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.’ 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, clearly not amused, responded in the comments of an Instagram post from Toronto Rappers that featured the clip.

“This guy always had resentment for me 😂,” the 6 God wrote on Thursday (June 26). “You can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”

Offset came to Drake’s defense in a separate Complex Instagram post, throwing shots of his own at T-Pain.

“Da Boy is da boy shit ain’t gone change,” Offset wrote. “All dat hating on another grown man who do more numbers than everybody is Diabolical !!!!”

T-Pain was likely referencing a widely discussed 2023 sit-down Drake had with Lil Yachty, in which he talked about planning “a graceful exit” from music.

“I think I’m at the point now where I just wanna… introduce the concept in my mind of a graceful exit,” Drake said at the time. “Sometimes it’ll baffle you, like why are these people still making attempts at trying to be present in the space? And then you’ll realize… their soul was probably fed for so long off of being the guy that they can’t let it go.”

While Drake is currently taking a break from music following his 2023 album For All the Dogs and its Scary Hours deluxe edition, he’s still very much in the cultural spotlight — and clearly not ready to bow out quietly.
