A$AP Rocky Opens Up on Beef with Drake: “It’s Not Real Smoke”

The rapper, A$AP Rocky finally opens up on beef between him and Drake in an open discussion on Apple Music’s The Ebro Show. He mentioned has decided to keep his distance from Drake even though there isn’t any current “beef” in the conventional sense.

Rocky described the situation as personal rather than performative. He claimed its personal problems that are related to romantic past and the main cause of the gap.

“But this thing between us, it’s not real smoke. But, I just don’t f**k with him. We was once friends. I feel like it’s over females. I feel like he wasn’t happy and he expressed that,” Rocky said.

Fans and media sites have linked the conflict to Drake’s previous relationship with Rihanna, who is now dating Rocky.

Rocky’s latest music has also reflected the conflict. The song “Stole Ya Flow” off his latest album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been perceived by some as a swipe against Drake. However, Rocky has allowed room for interpretation, saying that it is up to the individual to interpret the song as they see fit.

Rocky stressed that the situation is not about drama or notoriety, despite the rumors. He says “It’s not real smoke.” and urged people to realize that not all public disputes are staged to garner attention.

As fans continue to dissect lyrics and interviews, Rocky’s message remains clear. That in some relationships, no matter how close, simply evolve into distance, and not every beef needs to be fought in the spotlight.
