Drake has never been one to let go quietly — especially when it comes to Rihanna.

The Canadian superstar’s complicated history with the Fenty mogul — a decade-plus saga of flirtation, public declarations of love, heartbreak and lingering tension — has fueled some of his most talked-about lyrics. And when A$AP Rocky entered the picture as Rihanna’s partner (and now father of their two children), the shade only intensified.

From subtle jabs hidden in verses to outright taunts that had the internet dissecting every bar, Drake’s discography is littered with moments fans swear are aimed at RiRi and Flacko. Now, with his upcoming solo album ICEMAN set to drop in 2026 — his first full-length since the 2023 diss-heavy For All the Dogs — speculation is running wild: will the 6 God unload even more?

Here are the six most explosive times Drake seemingly took shots at Rihanna and A$AP Rocky — moments that left fans gasping, Rocky clapping back and RiRi staying silent (as always).

1. 2021: ‘Fking Fans’ – “I could see it in your boyfriend’s eyes at the show”**

Drake’s Certified Lover Boy era was already loaded with vulnerability, but the bonus track ‘F**king Fans’ hit different. In the reflective cut, Aubrey laments past mistakes — sleeping with fans instead of cherishing real connections — before dropping what many believe is a direct hit at Rihanna’s then-new romance with Rocky.

‘Know you’re not happy, girl, everybody know / Could see it in your boyfriend eyes at the show,’ he croons.

Fans zoomed in: the line paints Rihanna as miserable in her relationship, with Drake implying he spotted Rocky’s discomfort (perhaps at a concert or event). It’s classic Drizzy — painting himself as the one who truly knows her, while suggesting her current man can’t measure up.

The internet exploded. ‘Drake saying RiRi ain’t happy with Rocky? Bold!’ one viral tweet read. Others called it delusional: ‘She’s literally glowing with Rocky — this is coping.’

Either way, it set the tone for what was to come.

2. 2022: ‘Her Loss’ (with 21 Savage) – Rihanna “played herself” by not choosing him

On the collaborative project Her Loss, Drake went even bolder. In one verse, he seemingly laments Rihanna passing on him — implying she ‘played herself’ by not locking him down.

Lines like ‘I could’ve been your man, but you played yourself’ (paraphrased from fan interpretations) fueled the fire. He also appeared salty about Rihanna publicly saying his 2016 VMAs Vanguard Award speech — where he professed his love onstage — made her ‘uncomfortable.’

‘She said it made her uncomfortable? Cool, I’ll make the whole album uncomfortable,’ fans joked.

The track became exhibit A in the ‘Drake can’t let go’ narrative. Rocky stayed quiet at the time, but the tension was palpable.

3. 2023: ‘Another Late Night’ (with Lil Yachty) – “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, bch, this st get really rocky”

Previewed in early 2023 and officially released in October on For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, this one was blatant.

Drake spits: ‘This ain’t Pretty Flacko, bch, this st get really rocky.’

The wordplay is savage — flipping A$AP Rocky’s nickname ‘Pretty Flacko’ into a threat that things are about to get ‘really rocky’ (as in, turbulent) if he keeps coming. It’s Drake positioning himself as the tougher, more authentic one — a direct contrast to Rocky’s fashion-forward, laid-back image.

Fans went wild: ‘Drake calling Rocky soft? This beef is heating up!’ The line became a meme, with edits of Rocky looking ‘unbothered’ flooding timelines.

4. 2023: ‘Fear of Heights’ – Rihanna is “mid” and sex was “average”

Perhaps the most brutal. On For All the Dogs, Drake unleashes on ‘Fear of Heights’ — a track fans universally peg as a Rihanna diss.

‘Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you,’ he raps, playing on RiRi’s album ANTI. He doubles down: ‘I had way badder b**ches than you, TBH.’

The kicker? ‘That man, he still with you, he can’t leave you / Y’all go on vacation, I bet it’s Antilles’ — a clear jab at Rocky taking her to Antigua (or similar islands), implying Drake’s options are superior.

The song was labeled vicious. ‘Calling Rihanna mid after years of simping? Cold,’ one critic wrote. RiRi never responded, but the internet did — with memes, think pieces and endless debate.

5. 2023: ‘For All the Dogs’ – Rihanna’s best friend is the only one who can stop the disses

Another from the same album: Drake name-drops Rihanna’s inner circle, claiming her best friend (widely believed to be Melissa Forde or another close confidante) is the only person who can prevent him from going full scorched-earth on RiRi.

The line suggests restraint — but also menace: ‘She the only one who can stop me from dissing Rihanna.’

It’s a power move: Drake implying he’s holding back nukes out of respect for her circle, not because he’s over it.

Fans read it as petty: ‘He’s still obsessed — using her friends as leverage?’

6. 2024: Sharing Triplego’s ‘Rihanna’ – “You do her good but I do her better”

In a subtler (but still savage) move, Drake posted a video of himself vibing to Triplego’s track ‘Rihanna,’ looping the exact part: ‘You do her good but I do her better… you criticize gold diggers, but you’re infested with them.’

The implication? Rocky might treat her well, but Drake believes he’d do it superior. The gold-digger line? A shot at Rocky’s circle or lifestyle.

Fans called it ‘peak petty.’ Rocky? He eventually responded on his 2026 album Don’t Be Dumb with ‘Stole Ya Flow’: ‘First you stole my flow, so I stole yo’ b**ch… My baby mama Rihanna, so we unbothered.’

The clapback was direct — bragging he took Rihanna from Drake, mocking alleged BBL rumors and more.

As 2026 dawns and ICEMAN approaches — Drake’s first solo album since the Kendrick feud and For All the Dogs — the question looms: will he keep firing?

With Rocky’s recent disses fresh and Rihanna thriving as a mom and mogul, any new shots could reignite the saga.

Drake’s fans say it’s just bars. Critics say it’s obsession.

Either way, the 6 God isn’t done talking about RiRi — and the world can’t look away.
