ASAP Rocky appears to have unfinished business with Drake, reigniting their rivalry with his new single "HIGHJACK." 

DJ Kast One claimed on Hot 97 that Rocky disses Drake throughout his forthcoming album, "Don't Be Dumb," set to release on August 30. 

However, fans believe they already got a taste of the beef in "HIGHJACK."

In the track, Rocky's lyrics seem to take shots at Drake, rapping, "These n**gas want my wife bad, the people want my next track," and "The coppers want my black a*s, f*cked up, but it's like that." 

Rihanna, who has been linked to both rappers, remains a focal point in their ongoing feud, with Drake previously referencing her as "Fring" in his diss track "Family Matters."

The most compelling evidence of a diss comes from Rocky's repeated use of the phrase "like that," reminiscent of Future and Metro Boomin's "Like That," a track that initially sparked the Drake vs. Rocky battle.

In "HIGHJACK," Rocky raps, "Pull up to the trenches, all my jewelry, yeah, I'm like that," potentially targeting Drake, often referred to as "The Boy."

ASAP Rocky isn't the only artist taking shots at Drake. 

JPEGMAFIA recently released his album "I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU," containing two explicit Drake disses. 

One track accuses the Toronto rapper of inappropriate behavior with underage girls, while another coins the phrase "No Drizzy" in light of the allegations against Drake. 

Compared to JPEGMAFIA's harsh words, Rocky's supposed diss is relatively mild. 

Fans are left wondering if more direct shots will be fired on Rocky's full album.
