Soulja Boy has publicly criticized Drake following his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar. In a series of posts on social media platform X on July 16, Soulja Boy expressed his disappointment in the OVO rapper, pointing out that none of Drake’s collaborators defended him during the dispute. "Swag Season July 28 never let a n-gga try me like I’m Drake," Soulja wrote, adding, "You disappointed me. @Drake."

Soulja Boy continued his critique, stating, "Doing all them weak ass songs with them n-ggaz look where it got u none of them n-ggaz you collab with or took on tour had yo back @Drake." These comments come amidst ongoing debates about Drake’s standing in the rap community, especially in light of his perceived loss in the feud with Kendrick Lamar.

This is not the first time Soulja Boy has made headlines for his opinions on Drake. In 2019, Soulja Boy had a viral moment during an interview on The Breakfast Club when he reacted dramatically to co-host Charlamagne Tha God calling Drake the "biggest rapper in the world." Soulja Boy’s response, "Draaaaakkkkkkeeee?! That n-gga who got bodied by Pusha T? Drake?! Y’all n-ggas better stop playing with me in here," quickly became a meme.

Reflecting on that moment in a 2022 interview with HipHopDX, Soulja Boy recalled, "I wasn’t expecting it at all. I just went up there, spoke, had a good time, talked to The Breakfast Club. When I got to the hotel, my phone was going crazy and the internet was going viral. I was like, ‘What happened? What did I say?’ And it was like, ‘You was like, Drake?’"

Despite these public exchanges, the two artists have seemed to maintain a fine relationship over the years. However, Soulja Boy’s recent comments have reignited discussions about their interactions and raised questions about loyalty and alliances within the rap industry.
