Drake’s Toronto mansion experienced severe flooding on July 16, with water filling up one of the property’s rooms. The rapper posted a video of the damage on Instagram, captioning it humorously: "This better be espresso martini." However, the incident didn't go unnoticed by his former collaborator, Rick Ross.

Rick Ross, known for his trolling antics, commented on Drake’s post with a smirking emoji and the phrase "minor issues." This interaction is the latest in a series of jabs Ross has directed at Drake and other rappers. Their relationship, once collaborative, has turned contentious throughout 2024, with both artists exchanging disses in songs and on social media.

Earlier this month, Ross targeted The Game, a friend of Drake’s, amid The Game’s legal troubles. Ross sent him a headline link via direct message and then posted their exchange on Instagram. The Game responded by mocking Ross’s weight, to which Ross replied, "Since we @'n n**gas, here you go b*tch."

Additionally, Ross took a swipe at Drake’s interaction with his baby mama, Tia Kemp. Kemp called Drake the "GOAT" on social media, and Ross responded with, "pedo vs. granny." These incidents highlight Ross's propensity for public feuds and his unwillingness to let old grievances die.

Drake, meanwhile, appears to be stepping back from these conflicts. After attempting to take on numerous rappers earlier in the year, he has shifted focus. Recently, he posted a controversial Instagram photo wearing a shirt that read "rap is a joke" with the caption: "The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop." Despite the backlash, Drake seems intent on returning to his musical roots.
