Tory Lanez sparked reactions after showing love to Drake on a new track, stirring a response from Hitta J3.
Tory Lanez and Drake have had a rocky relationship over the years, but it seems like Lanez is extending an olive branch. On DDG’s new EP, Lanez raps about praying for the day people back him like they did “Drizzy.” He emphasizes a connection, calling Drake ‘brodie’ and standing by him into 2024. This line caught the attention of many, hinting at the ongoing tension involving Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Fans and critics alike have had mixed reactions to this latest development. Some speculate it’s a nod to previous beef involving Drake and Kendrick Lamar, though this remains unconfirmed. Nevertheless, it drew a notable response from Hitta J3, a close affiliate of Kendrick Lamar.
Hitta J3 didn’t hold back. On Twitter, he sarcastically remarked that Drake ‘must really need help’ if someone like Lanez, currently facing legal issues, is vouching for him. He poked fun at Drake’s lack of current support from the music industry, pointing out that a ‘prisoner’ is speaking up for him rather than his usual industry pals.
In one pointed tweet, Hitta J3 recalled an awkward encounter with DDG, Lanez’s collaborator. ‘DDG seen me at Rich the Kid’s party & looked like he seen a ghost,’ Hitta J3 tweeted, mocking DDG’s reaction. He also commented on the perceived lack of toughness in Drake’s current situation, questioning his credibility while in ‘protective custody.’
This isn’t the first time Hitta J3 has made waves online. Back in September, he fired shots at Toronto’s Top5, calling him out amidst threats and sharing a video of the rapper being ejected from a restaurant. It seems Hitta J3 is using social media to voice his opinions freely, especially when it comes to those connected to his Compton roots.
Meanwhile, Lanez’s public show of support for Drake has introduced a new layer to their infamous relationship. Despite past squabbles, Lanez appears ready to stand by Drake, even as questions arise about the sincerity and implications of his lyrics.
As Lanez and Drake’s relationship unfolds in the public eye, reactions from figures like Hitta J3 remind us of the intertwined nature of hip-hop rivalries and alliances.
