The friction between Donald Glover and Drake may have increased after the actor allegedly fired some sub-shots at the Canadian MC.
After he dropped his final album as Childish Gambino on Friday, July 19, some fans noticed some bars in Glover's song "Yoshinoya" that appear to be aimed at Drizzy. According to HipHop-N-More, Glover calls out "the boy" at the beginning of the first verse and seemingly references Kendrick Lamar's "6:16 in L.A."
"You got your biz in the streets/I wash my hands when I eat," Glover spits. "I find your house on the app/People around you ain't slat/They plottin' hard when you slack."
There are other questionable bars throughout the song that could apply to Drizzy's beef with Kendrick Lamar. Fans think he warns Drake to keep his family out their business when he raps "F**k with my kids, you f**k with your life" and alludes to his alleged mouthpiece DJ Akdemiks with lines like "AK not silent like knife." Later on in the second verse, 'Bino appears to reference J. Cole's apology to Kendrick.
"Integrity whore, say what I mean/Apologize if I didn't," he raps. "Or clarify if it's written in stone/Freak it and leave it alone/Give it time, let the truth come to light/Let 'em catch up/N***as peepin' like 'Damn, he was right.'"
The song appears on Glover's latest album Bando Stone & The New World. It arrived following years of tension between both multifaceted artists. Their beef traces back to 2018 when Childish Gambino dropped "This Is America." Last year, Glover admitted that the song started off as a Drake diss track. Shortly afterward, the "Push Ups" rapper called the song "overrated, and over-awarded" in a visual banner on the edge of the stage while he was on tour last year.
So far, Glover hasn't confirmed whether or not the bars have anything to do with Drake. However, it might be hard to convince fans otherwise.
