Drake faced backlash after appearing to disparage Taylor Swift's success with her latest album, Midnights.
We weren't ready to see These Celebrity Feuds Coming. On Monday, November 14, the rapper, 36, shared a portion of the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10, emphasizing that many of his Her Loss songs were dominating the chart — and obscuring the 32-year-old singer's own accomplishment.
According to the ranking, which the "God's Plan" rapper shared on his Instagram Story, eight tracks from his joint album with 21 Savage were second through eighth on the list. Swift's "Anti-Hero" remained at the top of the charts. The song, which is the first single from the pop star's tenth studio album, Midnights, has stayed at the top of Billboard for three weeks in a row, making it the longest-running No. 1 song in the artist's career.
Drake, on his part, obscured the Folklore musician's song on the list with different emojis, including a tub of popcorn, a magic eight ball, and a cloud of smoke, to keep the hit hidden from his fans.
Alongside Drake's post, Vinylz, the producer of the "Sticky" rapper and 21 Savage's track "Rich Flex," appeared to amplify Drake's feelings with his own social media shade.
"The world knows what the real #1 song is... #RichFlex… "No tricks on this side," the 33-year-old producer said besides a snapshot of Billboard's 200 Albums list, where "Rich Flex" is presently No. 1.
Swift, who released Midnights on October 21, is the first artist in history to occupy all ten positions on the Hot100 Top10 list with songs from her most recent album. On Sunday, November 13, the Red songstress also attended the 2022 MTV EMAs, where she won four of the six awards she was nominated for: Best Artist, Best Video, Best Pop, and Best Longform Video.
