Drake strikes back.
The rapper shocked fans on Friday by releasing three new albums, “Iceman,” “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour,” with plenty of digs at other celebrities, including his long-time rival, Kendrick Lamar.
After the pair threw jabs at each other with diss tracks like “Not Like Us” and “Family Matters,” Drake, 39, escalated the feud by making multiple scathing comments about Lamar, 38, in his new music.
Fans decoded Drake’s lyrics on social media and pointed out all the shots he took at other celebs.
Here are all the celebrities Drake dissed on his new albums.
Kendrick Lamar
In his song “Make Them Pay”, Drake sings about how he filed a lawsuit against his own record label, UMG, in 2025, accusing it of defamation for releasing “Not Like Us,” in which Lamar calls Drake a “pedophile.”
In the now-dismissed lawsuit, Drake claimed UMG illegally boosted the song’s popularity.
“Damn, who is this guy for real/ I guess a magician/ 100 million streams vanished, no one got questions,” Drake raps in “Make Them Pay.”
In “Make Them Remember,” Drake mocks Lamar’s height by mentioning 5-foot-3 NBA star Muggsy Bogues.
“And Muggsy Bogues dunked for once, even I’m a bit amazed,” he says.
Drake also goes after Lamar’s public image on his “Iceman” album, singing, “White kids listen to you cuz’ they feel some guilt, and that’s how your soul get fulfilled.”
And on “Dust,” Drake raps about forgetting Lamar’s diss tracks, “What was the year you said you had slaps, cause I don’t remember it going like that, I don’t remember one word of your raps.”
J. Cole
J. Cole catches a stray on “Make Them Pay” with a diss at the “Big 3” of modern rap, which includes the former, Drake and Lamar.
“F–k a big three anyway, there was too many chefs in the kitchen, it was a mess to begin with,” Drake says.
Elsewhere in the song, Drake appears to allude to J. Cole not taking his side in his drama with Lamar.
“I stood 10 Ts and accepted the mission, ’cause I’d much rather death than submission,” Drake sings. “How can you press the ignition and let some memories of the past affect your decision?”
Jay-Z
Drake disses Jay-Z on multiple songs, including “Janice STFU,” where he calls out the Roc Nation founder and other veteran artists for not embracing the new guard.
“We know how you OGs rocking already, my n—a, the jig is up,” Drake raps.
On “Whisper My Name,” Drake alludes to the social media debate over whether someone would rather have dinner with Jay-Z or get $500K in cash.
“’ll take $500K, not the dinner, I never could learn s–t from none of y’all,” Drake sings.
DJ Khaled
On “Make Them Play,” Drake calls out DJ Khaled for not joining him in speaking out in support of Palestine.
“Khaled you know what I mean, the beef was fully live, you went halal… and your people are still waiting for a ‘Free Palestine’ but apparently everything isn’t black and white and red and green. I’m seeing everyone’s true colours,” Drake raps.
A$AP Rocky and Rihanna
On “Burning Bridges,” Drake seems to diss Rihanna, whom he dated on and off from 2009 to 2016, and her partner, A$AP Rocky, for her not releasing new music in a decade.
“Yo baby mama ain’t even post your single, where she at?” the lyrics state.
Rick Ross
“Make Them Pay” also includes an apparent diss at Rick Ross, with the line, “Dog, I was aiding Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed.”
Before the three albums came out, Page Six exclusively asked Ross, 50, where he stands with Drake, to which he replied, “It’s nothing.”
Ross also teased that there will be diss tracks on his 12th studio album, “Set in Stone,” which comes out next month.
“It’s always diss tracks,” he told us. “It wouldn’t be fun if it wasn’t. That competitive spirit, to me, is what made Hip Hop what it was. It has to be competitive.”
Dr. Dre
On “1 AM In Albany,” Drake seemingly suggests Dr. Dre should be in jail.
“If Drake took out the AK, maybe he’d be in jail, just based off the name that it spells,” he raps.
Pharrell Williams
On “Make Them Pay,” Drake brags about owning jewelry that belonged to Virginia Beach native Pharrell Williams.
“I got all the chains that they ever repped in Virginia/ I got n—as’ prized possessions, I get possessive on n—as,” Drake sings.
LeBron James
Drake takes a direct shot at LeBron James — despite their years-long friendship — on “1 AM In Albany.”
“I shouldn’t even be shocked to see you in that arena, because you always made your career off of switching teams up,” Drake says.
“Please stop asking what’s going on with 23 & me, I’m a real n–a, and he’s not, it’s in my DNA.”
