After attending a listening event for Don’t Be Dumb, Kast One said, “I heard A$AP Rocky did touch on a lot of the major topics that are going on right now. Let’s just say the list goes on and on.
Host Ebro Darden then asked if “Rocky is still on Drake’s roster,” to which the DJ responded: “Oh, he’s going to be solidified on the roster after this.”

Drake and A$AP Rocky, a former collaborator, have been trading barbs ever since the Toronto native appeared to take a shot at his ex-boyfriend and Rocky’s current girlfriend, Rihanna.
In his For All the Dogs song “Afraid of Heights,” he raps: “Why do they sound like I’m still obsessed with you? / That’s never gonna be possible / Gyal can’t manage me / He’s better than me / Most of all Well it’s not me.
He also seemed to reference RiRi’s 2016 album ANTI: “I object, I object / Yeah, your sex is average / Yeah, I object ’cause I’m with you / Well, I’m an aunt like Your dad’s sister/Aunt is like a family photo/I’ve got worse bitches than you, to be honest/Yeah, that man, he’s still with you, he can’t leave you/Y’all go on vacation, I bet This is Antigua”.
Rocky later responded in a cameo on Cady Boy’s “WOW,” saying: “These niggas can’t stand me, gotta buy mandrake.”
Rocky then attacked Drizzy again during Metro Boomin and Future and Metro Boomin’s “Show of Hands”.
“N-ggas swear they’re the baddest women, I just got one of them with the worst feelings for women/N-ggas, what, are you hurt or something?/I fell before you had a son Broken, Flacco hit it first, son,” he spat, claiming he once slept with Drake’s baby mother, Sophie Brousseau.
The Harlem native also seemed to take issue with Drake’s For All the Dogs: “Still don’t believe you, it’s always us, not them/Heard you dropped your latest shit/Funny how it comes and goes (Hahaha).
Drake would respond to Rocky in his diss song “Family Matters” as well as his various other enemies such as Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross and Way Ken (The Weeknd).
“Rakim talking bullshit again / So mad ’cause you hit me first / N-gga Who did I hit / I didn’t even know you were still rapping ’cause they only talk about your Health / Maybe before you wanna give up on anything again, you gotta have a kid again / Even if you do give up, they’re gonna say you should model ’cause it’s in the middle again,” he raps.
He added: “Smoke Fenty, they should have made you the first one to try it/Ask Flynn next time you’re snuggled in bed again if that’s a good idea/She’ll even tell you to leave that alone before you do boy.
