Drake has quite literally put Travis Scott in his sights for siding with Kendrick Lamar, Future, and Metro Boomin in an ongoing feud. During a recent concert, Drake mimicked shooting his frequent collaborator while performing their hit “Meltdown.”
In a fan-shot video, Drake can be seen screaming lyrics from the Utopia cut before pausing to fake gunshots at a giant Travis Scott head. Watch the footage below.
For context, Travis encouraged Future and Metro Boomin to debut their Drake diss, “Like That,” at Rolling Loud California days ahead of its release, making it apparent that he stood against Drake.
On the track, Kendrick Lamar hits out at Drake and J. Cole, asserting his dominance among the so-called Big Three rappers of their generation. Specifically, Kendrick calls out Drake for his frequent Michael Jackson comparisons and buries him with lyrics referencing the latter’s album For All the Dogs.
The attention from the diss has proven to be a boon on the charts for Future and Metro Boomin. “Like That” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 this week, helping to propel their new album, We Don’t Trust You, to the top of the Billboard 200.
Thus far, Drake hasn’t dropped a response track, but has made a show of indirectly addressing the diss with tough guy speeches on stage in Florida and New York, along with Instagram captions like, “They rather go to war with me than admit they are their own worst enemy” and “I could never sell ya’ll out to sell my latest work.”
Drake still has two more opportunities to blow off steam on stage while closing out “It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?” in Newark, New Jersey later this week. Grab your tickets here.
