A$AP Rocky “doesn’t f–k with” Drake.
The 37-year-old clarified where he stands with Rihanna’s ex during an “Ebro Show” interview Wednesday.
Host Ebro Darden asked whether there was “really an issue” between the rappers amid speculation that Rocky took a swipe at Drake, 39, on “Stole Ya Flow” off his new “Don’t Be Dumb” album.
In the track, the Grammy nominee quips, “First you stole my flow, so I stole yo’ bitch. … Now I’m a father, my bitch badder than my toddler / My baby mama Rihanna, so we unbothered.”
Rocky agreed with Darden’s comparison of “hip-hop tactics and beef” to “wrestling when [rappers] troll … and rage bait people.”
He explained, “This thing between us, it’s not real smoke. But I just don’t f–k with him.”
Rocky noted that he and Drake, who collaborated on “F–kin’ Problems” in 2012, were “once friends” but had a falling out “over females.”
Drake, notably, was romantically linked to Rihanna on and off between 2009 and 2016.
Rocky has been with the “Work” singer, 37, since 2019, and the couple share three children — son RZA, 3, son Riot, 2, and daughter Rocki, 4 months.
On Wednesday, Rocky explained, “I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that. And I think at some certain point when everybody gettin’ older and it’s just like, you’re supposed to be moving on.
“For you to still be picking at a female and all that, that’s soft to me,” he continued, seemingly referencing Drake dissing Rihanna — and their “average” hookups on “Fear of Heights” in 2023.
“I didn’t put out an album, I didn’t put out music for me to really say something back,” Rocky added. “It ain’t just about one person. I’m talking to whoever. Whoever feels like I’m talking to them.”
He concluded, “I do think that it’s petty. … It’s enough money. It’s enough women. It’s enough fame, spotlights to go around. But is it real smoke? It could never be.”
Drake’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Rihanna, for her part, last spoke about where she stands with Drake in a 2018 sitdown with Vogue.
“We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either,” the Fenty Beauty creator told the magazine at the time. “It is what it is.”
Her relationship with Rocky took a romantic turn the following year, and the pair started their family in 2022.
Rocky’s mom convinced her son to date the lingerie designer, with him telling “Popcast” listeners last week that “mothers know best.”
