He's since been vocal about each development in the feud, most recently slamming Drake for his latest response, "The Heart Part 6." According to Ross, Drake did a terrible job of addressing Kendrick's pedophile allegations, and ought to consider getting a better team.

Aside from that debacle, Ross also recently revealed that his private jet had to make an emergency crash landing in Dallas, TX. He jokingly blamed Drake for that too, though social media users later noticed that the 6 God liked a post about his safe landing, indicating that he was glad Ross was unscathed. "Drake fighter jet shot us down!" he wrote regardless.
