Rapper Drake has once again stirred up conversation online after posting a message on Instagram aimed at his critics. Early Thursday morning, the Toronto artist shared a photo of himself with the caption, “HATING DRAKE DOESN’T MAKE YOU DEEP.”
The post quickly spread across social media, with fans and critics debating its meaning. Many believe Drake was responding to ongoing criticism following his feud with Kendrick Lamar in 2024. That clash included several diss tracks and viral moments that divided the hip-hop community.
Although Drake has mostly stayed silent since the feud ended, this new message suggests he is ready to address the negativity—and perhaps reclaim his narrative.
Possible Comeback Ahead
The timing of the post comes as rumors grow about new music from Drake. He has reportedly teased a song titled “ICEMAN” and a live-streamed event on October 25, which may involve collaborations between two major record labels. Fans think the Instagram story could be part of a buildup to a major release.
Mixed Fan Reactions
Social media reactions were split. Supporters praised Drake for speaking up, saying his success proves his critics wrong. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “Hating Drake doesn’t make you deep. The man’s still on top.”
Others mocked the post, calling Drake “corny” or “out of touch.” Some joked that his message showed he still cares deeply about what people think of him.
Viral Impact
The quote spread quickly across major hip-hop pages, including Complex, RapTV, and Rap Hub, each sharing screenshots of the post. Within hours, the phrase “HATING DRAKE DOESN’T MAKE YOU DEEP” was trending across platforms.
Whether this is a genuine statement or part of a clever marketing plan, Drake’s post proves one thing: he still knows how to get people talking.
