A$AP Rocky Fires Back at Drake’s ‘Where She At’ Diss
A$AP Rocky Says He’s Done With the Drama Between Him and Drake
TL;DR: Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky went on The Jason Lee Show and made it clear: he’s over the beef with Drake. He turned down a celebrity boxing match, clapped back at Drake’s lyrics about Rihanna, and explained how their friendship fell apart after he started dating her.
What Happened on The Jason Lee Show?
A$AP Rocky recently stopped by The Jason Lee Show for a wide-ranging interview. The host asked him point-blank about his ongoing tension with Drake—and Rocky didn’t hold back.
Key topics he covered:
- Why he won’t fight Drake in a celebrity boxing match
- His response to Drake’s diss track “Burning Bridges”
- The real reason their friendship ended
- Why he’s not engaging with “Internet antics” anymore
The Boxing Match Idea: “Bare Knuckle, Like the Irish”
When Jason Lee suggested a celebrity boxing match to settle things, Rocky shut it down immediately.
“He don’t wanna see me… F— some gloves, n—a. Bare knuckle, like the Irish. We ain’t doin’ all that celebrity boxing sh–.”
Translation: Rocky isn’t interested in a staged, padded fight. If it came to hands, he’d rather keep it raw—but he’s not looking for that either.
Responding to Drake’s “Burning Bridges” Lyrics
On the song “Burning Bridges,” Drake raps:
“Your baby mama ain’t even post your single, damn / Where she at? Yeah, where she at”
This was a jab at Rihanna not promoting Rocky’s album Don’t Be Dumb.
Rocky’s response:
- “That’s stupid.”
- He points out Rihanna did post the album—after it already hit No. 1.
- If she’d posted it earlier, critics would’ve said: “You only went No. 1 ’cause your girl posted it.”
- “She not on my f—ing album. What single she supposed to be posting?”
Important Point: Rocky is saying Drake’s lyric doesn’t make sense factually or logically. Rihanna supported the project—but on Rocky’s terms, not for clout.
How the Feud Started: From Friends to “Subs”
Rocky traced the beef back to around 2020, when he began dating Rihanna.
| Timeline | What Happened |
|---|---|
| Before 2020 | Rocky and Drake were cool. Rocky thought, “He was my mans… my dude.” They even toured together. |
| ~2020 | Rocky starts dating Rihanna. |
| After that | Drake starts dropping “subs” (subliminal disses—indirect shots in songs/interviews). |
| Now | Rocky says he “just woke up and felt like he was throwing subs and sh–.” |
Important Point: Rocky believed they had a genuine friendship. He feels blindsided by Drake’s shift in attitude after the relationship went public.
Rocky’s Current Mindset: “Everybody Done Moved On”
When Lee joked about whether Rocky “took Drake’s girl,” Rocky laughed it off:
“Everybody done moved on with their lives and motherf—as still strung up on that sh–… The Internet antics and smear campaigns and all that, we see right through that. That’s why I just be like, ‘I ain’t responding to that.’”
In plain English:
- Rocky, Rihanna, and their family have moved forward.
- Drake is the one still holding on.
- Rocky sees through the online games and refuses to feed the drama.
