Drake Drops Cryptic Emoji Shade in Support of 21 Savage’s New Album, Stirring Up Rumors of Ongoing Feud
Drake Drops Cryptic Emoji Shade in Support of 21 Savage’s New Album, Stirring Up Rumors of Ongoing Feud
In the ever-evolving saga of rap alliances and rivalries, Drake took to his Instagram Story on Friday (January 12) to throw his weight behind 21 Savage‘s latest album, American dream. While the camaraderie between the two artists is undeniable, it’s the subtle emoji drama that caught fans’ attention, hinting at a potential clash with one of the industry’s top producers, Metro Boomin.
In a strategic move, the 6ix God strategically covered Metro Boomin’s name with a series of talking emojis at the bottom of the screen while promoting the track “just like me” featuring 21 Savage, Burna Boy, and Metro himself. The emoji curtain immediately sparked speculation, with many interpreting it as a nod to the rumored tension between Drake and the St. Louis native producer.
The rumored friction between Drake and Metro Boomin has been a topic of discussion, especially considering their recent competition in the Best Rap Album category at various awards shows. While Young Metro previously downplayed any significant animosity on Twitter, the cryptic Instagram Story suggests a different narrative.
The alleged rift could extend beyond award show rivalry, involving collaborative projects, shared collaborators, and a myriad of undisclosed reasons. The underlying tension between the two artists remains a puzzle, with no clear resolution in sight.
As fans dissect every social media move, it’s worth noting that the drama doesn’t end with Drake’s emoji antics. 21 Savage’s American Dream album is also fueling speculation of a feud with Gunna, adding another layer of intrigue to the already buzzing rap scene. Whether these potential conflicts will be addressed or left to simmer in the background remains to be seen.
For the latest updates and clarifications on the intricacies of the rap world involving Metro Boomin, Drake, and 21 Savage, stay tuned with Honk Magazine. The smoke surrounding the American dream suggests there might be more revelations on the horizon.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.
The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.
The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.
The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Marsha Bartenetti reinvents in her own style “New York Minute”
Marsha Bartenetti’s latest release, “New York Minute,” written by Don Henley, Danny Kortchmar, and Jai Winding, offers emotional depth, turning a timeless look at life’s fragility into a reflective, cinematic journey. Stephan Oberhoff’s arrangement perfectly frames Bartenetti’s voice, and Kevin Bate’s expressive cello adds a warm resonance that makes the track feel like a movie.
The way each instrument sounds makes it feel planned, which lets the listener stay in the fleeting moments the song so beautifully describes. Bartenetti’s singing is the best part of the song. She shows an openness that feels real, as if she has lost something and still fully embraces love and presence with complete honesty. Her choice of words and small changes in tone make the lyrics feel even closer.
“New York Minute,” is a new version that pays tribute to the original while showcasing Bartenetti’s own style. The movie-like instruments and heartfelt vocals make the song feel both personal and universal. It makes us think about how hard it is to let go and hold on.
