ASAP Rocky confirms reason for estrangement from Drake

A$AP  Rocky and Drake’s relationship started off strong and the two were once friends but now the latter has become the target of disses made by the former on his new album Don’t Be Dumb.

Since the two didn’t have a major public falling out, fans often wondered what made their bond go sour with many speculating through song lyrics that it was maybe over a mutual love interest, likely Rihanna.

The singer’s baby daddy has come out to confirm what the reason behind their tension really is, in an interview with Apple Music's Ebro Darden.

Rocky stated, "I just don't fuck with him. We was once friends. I feel like it's over females. I feel like he wasn't happy and he expressed that," referring to Drake.

The father-of-three continued, “And I think at some certain point when everybody getting older and it's just like you supposed to be moving on, for you to still be picking at a female and all that, that's soft to me."

Since Darden compared it to wrestling when asking the question, and asked if it was for promotion to which Rocky agreed that usually hip-hop tactics are like WWF but the feud between them is not real smoke.
