Toronto’s global rap superstar Drake, born Aubrey Drake Graham, has allegedly taken flagrant shots at three of the finest Hip-Hop artists in the world – Pusha T, Pharrell Williams and Childish Gambino – and France’s luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton on Travis Scott’s long-awaited album “Utopia”.
Throughout his extremely aggressive guest verse on Coleman, BNYX, Boi-1da, Vinylz and Tay Keith-produced record, Champagne takes ruthless jabs at Pharrell Williams and his current partnership with Louis Vuitton as its Menswear Creative Director.
“I melt down the chains that I bought from yo boss/ Give a fuck about all of that heritage s***/ Since V not around, the members done hung up the Louis/ They not even wearing that s***,” The Boy raps.
Reportedly, Drake referred to Pharrell Williams‘ Joopiter auction – the legendary record producer’s digital auction space. At the time, the 13-time Grammy winner unveiled his 52-piece capsule Son of Pharoah which was later purchased by Drizzy.
The “For All The Dogs” later flaunted it in the “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” music video featuring Central Cee earlier this year.
Further, the “V” refers to perhaps the late fashion mogul Virgil Abloh. The co-founder of Off-White, who also served as the first African-American Creative Director of Louis Vuitton, was succeded by Pharrell. Drizzy clearly ain’t impressed by that decision by LV.
While Pharrell paid homage to Abloh through his debut Menswear runway show “Phinally” for LV, Drake continues to remember “his brother” at the “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 Savage.
Notably, Drake’s archnemesis in the rap game Pusha T walked the runway at Pharrell’s historic Louis Vuitton debut.
The Pusha T & Drake beef dates back to 2018. At the time, Pusha T’s ghostwriting bars against Drake on “Infrared” led to an incendiary response by Drizz on “Duppy Freestyle.” However, King Push responded through extremely personal bars aimed at the rapper.
“The Story of Adidon,” Pusha’s response in which he revealed that Drake has a son named Adonis.
Not just King Push, Pharrell and LV, Drake has allegedly taken more shots at Childish Gambino. While the “Oh U Went” rapper dissed Childish Gambino’s top-selling rap record “This is America” and referred to Gambino as “overrated”, as per fans, Drake has again roped in Gambino on Travis Scott’s album.
“Heard your new joint, it’s embarrassing s**t, you talk to the cops on some therapy s**t,” Drake spits. “You act like you love this American s**t, but really the truth is you scared of the six.”
Over the weekend, Travis Scott also premiered the “God’s Country” music video too. You can watch it below.
