Soulja Boy Goes Nuclear on Drake Over Alleged ‘Super Soak’ Diss
It seems Drake can’t avoid drama for more than a week. Fresh from his feud with Kendrick Lamar, the Toronto star is now entangled in another potential rap battle. This time, it’s with Soulja Boy, who believes Drake took shots at him in a recently leaked track previewed by Kai Cenat during a Twitch stream. The track, featuring Lil Yachty, has fans speculating that Drake’s lyrics are directed at Soulja Boy, and the “Crank That” rapper didn’t hold back on his response.
Soulja Boy wasted no time addressing Drake directly on IG Live, daring him to back up his words. “Drake, you up here talkin’ about some S.O.D. super soak,” Soulja vented. “Boy, stop playin wit me. That better be a fcking shout-out, n**ga.” Making his stance clear, he warned Drake to tread lightly. “You better keep that sht light, my boy. This your first and only warning.” He further taunted Drake, advising him that beefing with him would be a mistake. “This not gon’ be the best idea for you, family,” Soulja declared, pushing Drake to openly express his feelings so they can “get to it.”
The rocky relationship between Soulja Boy and Drake dates back years. Despite their brief collaboration on Drake’s 2013 hit “We Made It,” Soulja has frequently voiced his disdain for the 6 God. During his fiery IG Live, he mocked Drake for his loss to Kendrick Lamar, questioning why Drake would target him next. “How the fck you let Kendrick Lamar cook yo as,” Soulja laughed. “And then the first thing you respond is you tryna come at me.”
Soulja Boy’s outrage over the leaked track is understandable. The title “Super Soak” and the phrase “S.O.D.” are closely linked to his biggest hits and his early career catchphrases. With these elements featured prominently in the song’s chorus, it’s no wonder Soulja suspects a diss. While some speculate Drake might be paying homage, given his penchant for subtle jabs, Soulja Boy’s skepticism is justified.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama
Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.
This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.
Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival
“NO MORE“ carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.
“NO MORE“ is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.
Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.
“NO MORE“ is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
