KSI’s latest song, "Thick of It," featuring Trippie Redd, has garnered significant attention online, and now, even Canadian rapper Drake has weighed in. During an October 6 stream with popular content creator Adin Ross, Drake jokingly referred to the track as a “banger.” Although his comment seemed complimentary on the surface, fans quickly interpreted it as trolling rather than genuine praise.

Drake's lighthearted jab adds to the ongoing buzz around the song, which has already faced criticism from KSI’s fanbase and music reviewers. The YouTuber-turned-musician had previously addressed the backlash on Instagram, asking people to move on from the negativity surrounding the track. "Imagine spending so much time and effort into making a song for people to then repeatedly take the p*ss out of it online," KSI stated.

The track, released on October 3, has been met with mixed reviews, with critics calling it generic and lacking in depth. Now, with Drake adding his voice—whether sincere or not—the conversation around "Thick of It" shows no signs of slowing down.
