Rick Ross has heard enough of Drake’s ICEMAN already.
The Miami rapper clapped back after Drake appeared to call him out on “Make Them Pay,” a track from the newly released album that also includes shots at Pusha T and J. Cole. Drake took shots while mentioning streamer Adin Ross. On the track, Drake rapped: “Dog, I was aidin’ Ross with streams before Adin Ross had ever streamed.” But Rick Ross wasn’t having it.
Ross did not sound rattled. On Instagram Stories, he filmed himself reading comments on a Complex post about the album and Drake’s bars. “Damn, n—as say three albums of trash… two years too late,” Ross said as he looked at the responses. “What site is this? Complex? The glazer university… Oh my God.”
He later turned the joke back on Drake, saying, “Come on guys, stop. Let’s all leave little mans alone now, man. He did it, he dropped three mid projects.” It was the kind of response that showed Ross staying unbothered—exactly the energy you’d want when reading through a curated reading list of hip hop culture moments.
Ross echoed these sentiments on a recent appearance on the PBD Podcast when he was asked about Drake and ICEMAN. “When you diss certain people and they can’t deal with it emotionally, they’re embarrassed,” Ross said in response. “They’re humiliated. That’s when they sue all of these people.”
Ross also said people around him sampled the project and quickly soured on it. “By the fifth song, they came out, they was like, ‘Damn, this s–t wack,'” he said. He also mocked Drake’s singing, joking, “No one’s my friend/You left me alone.” The whole exchange felt less like a heated beef and more like Ross confidently handling the moment with the kind of spoken word flair that keeps conversations going in hip hop.
