Drake Snipes at T-Pain for ‘Gracefully’ Exiting Music Comments: ‘Guy Always Had Resentment for Me’

Drake has responded to T-Pain’s comments regarding the 6 God allegedly not taking his own advice when it comes to “gracefully” exiting the rap game.

“The one thing I learned from Drake, here’s the crazy thing, the one thing I learned from but one thing he hasn’t followed — his own words,” T-Pain explained on a recent episode of the Crash Dummies Podcast. “Drake said, ‘I want to be one of those people that gracefully bows out and not get kicked out.’”

The “Buy U a Drank” singer’s comments went viral on Thursday (June 26). Drake quickly got wind of T-Pain’s words and fired back at the Florida native on Instagram.

Drizzy claimed in a comment on Instagram: “This guy always had resentment for me [laughing-crying emoji] you can hear it every time he speaks on my name.”

Offset also had Drake’s back. “Da Boy is da boy s–t ain’t gone change,” the Migos rapper chimed in. “Hating on another grown man who do more numbers than everybody is Diabolical!”

T-Pain also said on Crash Dummies that Drake is sticking around too long. “I have ever since said, ‘Thank y’all, I appreciate y’all. I’ll see y’all when I drop — don’t worry about it, I’ll just drop something,” he added. “Let me know if you heard it.’ Drake is like, ‘No, listen, I got another one. Hold on, check this out. Y’all ain’t like that one? OK, real quick, just one more. Let me try one more.’”

Drake first teased the idea of retirement during a 2023 interview with Lil Yachty. “I think I’m at the point now where I just wanna like — I feel like maybe we talked about this the other day,” he said. “I feel like I’m kinda introducing the concept in my mind of a graceful exit.”

It doesn’t appear that Drake has any intentions of slowing down either. He teamed up with PARTYNEXTDOOR for their $ome $exy $ongs 4 U joint album earlier this year and is said to be hard at work on his upcoming solo effort.
