While the sounds of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U are still fresh, Drake is already plotting his next move—a solo album he’s calling “a slap”. The 6 God casually dropped the news during a livestream with Adin Ross on Sunday, April 13th, during one of his signature Stake gambling sessions. When asked what’s next, Drake confirmed he’s back in the studio. “Working on a new album right now. It’s a slap,” he said, grinning with that familiar confidence.
This announcement marks yet another relentless push from one of hip-hop’s most prolific figures. Barely two months removed from his seductive collaborative EP with PARTYNEXTDOOR, Drizzy shows no signs of slowing down—reminding the world that he’s not just playing the game, he’s still rewriting it.
More Than Music? The Kendrick Lamar Tension Still Simmering
While the album update was the headline, it was a separate moment in the stream that raised eyebrows and reignited a long-standing feud. When Adin Ross jokingly suggested a celebrity boxing match, Drake dismissed the idea with a quick “no”. But when Kendrick Lamar’s name entered the chat, Drake hinted at something more private:
“If we’re fighting, we’ll fight at Hino’s gym or something like that — behind closed garage doors”.
It’s a cryptic comment, but one that speaks volumes in hip-hop’s most enduring cold war. Over the years, rumors and subliminals have flown between Kendrick and Drake, and the idea of a physical altercation. While likely metaphorical, it adds another layer to the narrative.
Veteran West Coast artist Glasses Malone recently fanned the flames, claiming on the BagFuel podcast that Kendrick “really wants to kick Drake’s ass” and is known for holding grudges. “He’s not that good of a kid,” Malone joked, flipping the narrative from Kendrick’s iconic good kid, m.A.A.d city persona. “He’s a mean person, bro”.
Add to that media personality DJ Akademiks’ wild claim that “Drake wanna get a squabble” and is ready to throw down in Compton, and we’re witnessing the makings of either a lyrical slugfest or a hip-hop myth unfolding in real time.
What’s Next For The 6 God?
Whether or not fists ever fly, the real battleground has always been the music. With a new solo album on the way, Drake is once again gearing up to dominate charts and conversations.
While Drake is loading up — the rap world is watching closely. In the studio or in the shadows of Hollywood gyms, he’s making sure no one forgets that he’s still the one calling the shots. Possibly throwing them, too.
