In the aftermath of a high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake, the Toronto-born rapper, has shown no signs of diminished confidence. His recent social media posts suggest an attempt to reassert his status as one of the greatest rappers ever.

Drake was recently spotted at his son Adonis’ soccer game, dressed in baggy pants and a cardigan sweater over his shoulders.

His cryptic caption, “Goats don’t worry about one-trick ponies,” left fans speculating about its meaning. Sophie Brussaux, Adonis’ mother, was also present at the game.

This is just the latest in a series of vague posts from Drake since his feud with Kendrick Lamar ended. Last week, he shared photos of himself at his Toronto mansion, which has been the target of trespassers and a drive-by shooting in recent weeks. His caption, “The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer,” could be a response to Kendrick’s allegations about Drake’s OVO crew.

Drake also removed his diss songs from Instagram, a move that was criticised by fans. Despite the fallout from the feud, Drake is believed to have moved on, especially after hinting at another summer takeover.

His last track in the feud, “The Heart Part 6,” released in early May, was not well received by fans and critics. However, Drake’s confidence remains unshaken, and fans eagerly await his next move.

The feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar escalated in 2024. The tension was ignited by Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Euphoria, a response to Drake’s diss tracks Push Ups and Taylor Made Freestyle.

The feud took a turn when Kendrick Lamar released Like That in March after J. Cole proposed that he, Drake, and Lamar were the “Big Three” of hip-hop. This led to a series of disses between the two artists, with allegations and personal attacks becoming increasingly intense.
