Is Drake reigniting his feud with Ebro after the show ends?

Drake has responded to the announcement that Hot 97’s Ebro in the Morning show is ending, reigniting attention on his longstanding feud with the radio hosts.

The Toronto rapper commented with a single hatchet emoji under an Instagram post by Keep6ixSolid reporting the news.

The show, hosted by Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg, and Laura Stylez, had been on the air since 2012, with Darden previously hosting from 2004 to 2007. On X (formerly Twitter), Darden confirmed the show’s cancellation, stating, “It’s done. More to come. #EbroInTheMorning.” Rosenberg also reflected on the end of the program, describing it as a childhood dream realized and expressing excitement for what’s next.

Darden suggested that the show’s end was influenced by his outspoken political commentary, including criticisms of government policies and international leaders. He said Hot 97’s management may have prioritized corporate interests over his programming. Over the years, Darden and Rosenberg have frequently criticized Drake and other artists, which may explain the rapper’s gloating emoji response.

Drake’s reaction drew pushback from the hosts, with Darden calling the rapper “right-wing” and Rosenberg posting that Drake’s behavior made it hard to defend his work. Supporters of Drake, including fellow artist Bas, defended the rapper’s cultural contributions, emphasizing his support for diverse music genres and artists globally.

Despite the feud, the ending of Ebro in the Morning marks a significant moment in hip-hop radio, highlighting ongoing tensions between artists and media personalities while fans continue to debate the implications online.
