Drake has posted a cryptic message online after deleting all of his Kendrick Lamar diss tracks from Instagram.
The Canadian superstar quietly removed diss songs such as “Push Ups,” “Family Matters” and “The Heart Part 6” from the social media platform on Wednesday (June 5) before writing a vague post.

Alongside pictures of himself at his Toronto mansion, which has been targeted by trespassers and even a drive-by shooting in recent weeks, Drake wrote: “The only yes man around me is my Rolex dealer.”
It’s possible that the post was a response to some of the claims made about his OVO crew by Kendrick, who alleged on his own diss songs that there’s a mole in Drizzy’s camp, along with numerous sex offenders.

Drake’s decision to remove his diss songs from social media was met with criticism from fans, with many calling him a hypocrite after he previously challenged Kendrick to “follow through” in their feud.
One user posted a screenshot of lyrics from Drizzy’s “Taylor Made Freestyle” (which he was previously forced to delete after being threatened with legal action from 2Pac‘s estate) where he rapped: “You tryna let this shit die down, nah, nah, nah/ Not this time, n-gga, you following through.”

“This line has officially aged the worst throughout the entire beef,” they said.
Another person wrote: “Imo, Drakes best time in this beef was that lil moment between Push Ups and Taylor Made; when everyone assumed Kdot wasnt responding. I think once he realised Kendrick was ready to burn all bridges just to beat him it wasn’t fun anymore lmaoo the way his tone shifted was nuts lol.”
Drake is believed to have moved on from the beef and conceded defeat to Kendrick following the release of “The Heart Part 6,” which was widely criticized by fans and critics for its tone and content.
On the song, the 6 God denied his rival’s allegations that he was a pedophile.

“I never been with no one underage but now I understand why this the angle that you really mess with/ Just for clarity, I feel disgusted, I’m too respected/ If I was fucking young girls, I promise I’d have been arrested/ I’m way too famous for this shit you just suggested,” he rapped.
Attempting to rebut Kendrick’s infamous “A minor” taunt on “Not Like Us,” he spat: “You mentionin’ A minor, but n-ggas gotta B sharp and tell the fans, ‘Who was it?’/ You thought you left D flat, D major/ I’ll slit your throat with the razor.”

He then made reference to K. Dot’s fiancée Whitney Alford and actress Millie Bobby Brown, who he has been friends with since she was a teen: “Only fuckin’ with Whitneys, not Millie Bobby Browns/ I’d never look twice at no teenager.”
