Social media users think Drake took aim at NBA YoungBoy on his new song.

Drake dropped off his new track "8AM In Charlotte" last night, and it's managed to spark a ton of chatter online. So far, fans are digging the song, and can't wait to hear more when For All The Dogs drops tonight. There's also been some buzz around the accompanying music video, which features Drake's 5-year-old son, Adonis. The boy describes the story behind the project's cover art, which he created himself.

The song has also gotten some social media users speculating about who a few of Drake's bars were aimed at. Some think he went after Kanye West, rhyming, "We all gotta lay in the bed we make, but that couldn’t be Drake/ You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face/ That’s why you got deserted by your n***as like pudding and cake." Now, users have turned their attention to other lines from the song, in which they believe he dissed NBA YoungBoy.

Drake Seems To Call Out NBA YoungBoy On New Song

"You young boys take some of that money and set it aside/ Not havin' enough to pay your tax is a federal crime," he raps. NBA YoungBoy previously shaded him on his track "F*ck The Industry Pt. 2," which he released in May. "Talk to Drake, cross FaceTime, he wasn't feelin' me/ Told me that he f*ck with Durk, damn, that sh*t gettin' to me/ Told me that he like the sh*t I'm doin', but can't do sh*t with me/ So when we cross our ways, f*ck what you say, b*tch, you my enemy," he rhymed.
