Drake Fires Back at Ebro Darden for Calling Him a 'Sickness' in Hip-Hop

The ongoing feud between Drake and radio personality Ebro Darden has taken another turn. In a recent episode of Ebro In The Morning on Hot 97, Ebro referred to Drizzy as a "sickness" in the game while discussing the rapper's beef with Kendrick Lamar.

"Drake is not that important. The reason Drake's in this is because he is a sickness in the game," Ebro said. "It could have been any artist, but it's what Drake represents. People love Drake – they love his music, we love his music. He's beloved. He's not willing to go rip his soul from the bottom and do ayahuasca and look himself in the mirror as Kendrick had prescribed to him. It's about what the game does to artists who try to dominate it."

Unsurprisingly, Drake didn't take kindly to Ebro's comments. The 6 God hit back on his Finsta with a Photoshopped picture of Ebro over a bowl of ayahuasca – a drink made from stems and leaves that contains DMT and is used as an aid in spiritual practices.

In response, Ebro seemed to feel that the fact Drake even replied is telling. "I'll say this," he said during the latest episode of his morning show. "If Drake is now mentioning me at this point in his career – which he's never mentioned me before or even been on our program or anything like that. And he's at this point where he's mentioning me, where he's already mentioned Charlamagne and Joe Budden and so many other points – he's at a low."

This isn't the first time Ebro has been critical of Drake. Back in 2023, the radio personality took issue with Drizzy shading Childish Gambino's "This Is America" as part of his It's All A Blur Tour stage setup, claiming the 6 God hasn't shown up to speak out on Black issues throughout his career.

"Drake, who has never shown up, and y'all know I'm the biggest Drake fan on this show," Ebro said. "Drake has never shown up to have anything to say about anything going on in society with Black folks or anything other than himself."

Ebro later clarified that he doesn't think Drake is obligated to speak out on social issues, but argued that it was "wack" for him to slam a song like "This Is America" when he rarely says anything significant about those topics.

It remains to be seen how this latest exchange between Drake and Ebro will play out, but it's clear the two have a contentious relationship. Fans will be watching closely to see if the 6 God has any more responses up his sleeve.
