The suggestive lyrics from The Weeknd land on "All to Myself."

If you have been paying the slightest attention to news in hip-hop, you know that everyone seems to be on the "screw Drake" energy. Artists have been sending shots at The Boy for years, but the animosity has been at an all-time high in 2024. It ramped up immediately after Kendrick Lamar's direct attack on "Like That" from Metro Boomin and Future's WE DON'T TRUST YOU. Three weeks later, the list of names has expanded on the sequel project WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU, with The Weeknd being one of them, dissing Drake on "All to Myself."

The bars up for discussion appear on The Weeknd's second feature, as he actually sings his diss. "They could never diss my brothers, baby (Future) / When they got leaks in they operation / I thank God that I never signed my life away... They shooters makin' TikToks / Got us laughin' in the Lambo (Yeah)." It seems what The Weeknd is focusing on with Drake are the subtle attacks toward Future and Metro, as well as OVO versus XO.

Fans React To The Weeknd Dissing Drake

Drake and Tesfaye were close early on in their careers, especially during the years of Take Care and Kiss Land. Drizzy was looking to sign the fellow Canadian to his OVO label, but he declined it. There was also speculation that Drake was taking too much credit for The Weeknd's career, while simultaneously not giving the R&B icon enough kudos for the work he did on Take Care. They have not worked together since the Kiss Land cut "Live For" back in 2013. With everyone coming for his neck, The Weeknd decided this was the right time to fire away.

What are your thoughts on The Weeknd supposedly dissing Drake on "All to Myself" off WE STILL DON'T TRUST YOU? Is this beef fabricated for the sake of the record and everyone else dissing?
