Drake takes a jab at Steve Lacy, the Weeknd on XQC Livestream

As the rap world celebrated the surprise release of his nemesis Kendrick Lamar’s new album GNXDrake went on popular streamer XQC’s live stream Sunday night, appearing largely unbothered despite being the subject of Kendrick’s Grammy-nominated diss track “Not Like Us.” Of course, Drake, being Drake, still had a handful of little jabs. Introducing himself to the camera, he said: “I’m here, as you can see, completely intact. You need facts to take me out. Fairy tales won’t do.” His remarks continue the sentiment he shared on “The Heart pt.6,” where he defended himself against the more insidious attacks on Kendrick’s disses.

For most of the stream, Drake was focused on either playing with XQC or the (honestly pretty good) magic tricks performed by the guest he brought along for the occasion. During the roughly two-hour stream, XQC, the 29-year-old Canadian streamer who at one point held the world record for Twitch subscriptions, played various songs, careful to avoid music from Drake’s ops, which proved somewhat difficult. After accidentally playing a song by the Weeknd, Drake politely asked XQC to change the track, commenting, “We only play real sixes around here,” questioning The Weeknd’s affiliation with Toronto.

Perhaps the most left-field jab came when Steve Lacy’s smash hit “Bad Habit” started playing and Drake couldn’t help but hum along before noticing that Lacy, who performed at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert in summer, was a “Fragile Opp”. ,” which might be interpreted as some sort of Toronto slang for someone you only sort of dislike. Lacy, for her part, seems to be taking it pretty easy, posting a photo on her Instagram of the blushing emoji with the caption: “Who’s Trying To Be My … Fragile Up”.

As for actual updates from Drake on music, he announced that he is “seventy-five percent done” with his collab album with Partynextdoor and that he will be touring Australia, his first time in the country in eight years, starting on the 9th. February. Online scouts have already pointed out that the tour’s start date coincides with the date of the Super Bowl. Of course, Australia being on the other side of the world means that Drake could technically speaking still watch the Super Bowl, and presumably Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance before his show begins.
