Drake hasn’t forgotten about all of his industry friends who disappeared on him during his beef with Kendrick Lamar.
The rapper, who is currently on tour in Australia, took to the stage to thank his true allies.
“[I want to thank] my collaborators, all my producers, all the other artists that I worked with – you know, the ones that didn’t turn p—y,” he said to the crowd. “I mean the ones that’s still real. My real ones.”
Since his beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake has fallen out with several celebrity friends, including NBA legend LeBron James and Sacramento Kings small forward DeMar DeRozan.

Drake even dissed DeRozan courtside at a recent Raptors game, claiming he would pull down any banner put up in DeRozan’s name. This was after the baller appeared in the video for Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”
His actions were called out by former NBA star Lou Williams.
“If I’m gonna speak candidly, I thought that was selfish of Drake,” Williams said on FanDuel’s Run it Back show. “Drake, as well as the country of Canada, the city of Toronto, they know what DeMar DeRozan has contributed to the culture up there, and what he’s contributed to the Toronto Raptors and to that community.”
