A$AP Rocky Regrets Bringing Woman Into Diss, Explains Drake Fallout After Yams Day

In a new Akademiks interview, he traces the rift to subliminals that he says started after he began dating Rihanna.

Overview

  • Rocky says he no longer communicates with Drake and that whatever friendship they had has faded.
  • He recalls Drake attending Yams Day 2020 and gifting him an A$AP Yams chain, which he says was followed by a run of subliminal shots.
  • He says he spoke up in 2024 because he believed Drake took a shot at Rihanna, pointing to comments about no longer performing their song "Work" on tour.
  • He calls his “Show of Hands” line referencing the mother of Drake’s child “petty” and “corny,” adding he should have left it out.
  • He criticizes Drake’s role in broader rap conflicts, saying Drake "threw J. Cole under the bus," while DJ Akademiks has circulated an unverified Yams Day backstory from unnamed sources.
