Drake's recent hangout with 50 Cent in Toronto caught fans' attention, but it was his Instagram Story, showcasing a black BMW, that really got people talking. 

The car bore a striking resemblance to the one in which Tupac Shakur met his tragic end in 1996. 

While it wasn’t the same model, the visual callback seemed intentional, perhaps a nod to Drake's complex ties with the rap legends of the past and present.

This allusion comes amid Drake's subtle jabs within the ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. 

During a performance, Kendrick made a pointed reference to Tupac, which was seen as a dig at Drake. 

This was compounded by disputes over Drake’s use of a Tupac A.I. voice, leading to a legal threat from Tupac's estate, which Drake suggested Kendrick had a hand in orchestrating.

Despite these undercurrents, sources like DJ Akademiks hint that Drake might focus more on music than on continuing any direct confrontations. 

Akademiks mentioned that Drake aims to deliver what fans love, potentially including subtle references to his rap rivals in upcoming tracks.

In addition to the drama, Drake's name has surfaced in discussions about acquiring Dame Dash's shares in Jay-Z's *Reasonable Doubt*.

Lupe Fiasco even chimed in, suggesting Drake would preserve the legacy of this iconic album for future generations, highlighting its profound impact on the rap industry.
