ASAP Rocky addresses Drake’s latest Rihanna references and says everyone should move on already

The rapper dismissed ongoing online drama, saying he and Rihanna have already moved forward with their lives.

A$AP Rocky has addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding Drake’s references to Rihanna, suggesting that the situation has gone on longer than necessary and that it is time for everyone involved to focus on their own paths.

During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Rocky discussed what he described as Drake’s continued focus on his past relationship with Rihanna. According to reporting by TMZ, the rapper questioned why the subject remains a talking point when he and Rihanna have already moved forward with their lives.

“I think it’s weird that everybody’s moved on with their lives, and [people] are still strung up on that. It’s bugged out to me. We see right through the internet antics and smear campaigns. That’s why I don’t respond to that. It comes and goes,” said ASAP Rocky, with a little more color.

Rocky also pushed back against online narratives surrounding the situation, arguing that internet speculation and fan-driven conversations often create unnecessary drama between artists. He suggested that people watching from the outside sometimes turn personal matters into larger conflicts through assumptions and social media discussions.

The comments come after Drake appeared to reference Rihanna and Rocky in his music, including a line from his album “Iceman” that touched on Rihanna not promoting Rocky’s project. Rocky dismissed the idea that Rihanna’s lack of a public post held deeper meaning, noting that she was not involved with the album and therefore had no obligation to promote it.

The rapper also addressed the criticism he believes would follow if Rihanna had promoted his work. Rocky suggested that some fans would have accused him of benefiting from his relationship with one of the world’s biggest music stars if the album gained attention afterward.

Rocky and Drake, once considered close collaborators within hip-hop circles, have publicly acknowledged that their friendship has changed. Rocky previously indicated that he no longer sees repairing that relationship as a priority.

The latest comments appear to reinforce Rocky’s position that he wants to leave past tensions behind and concentrate on his own career, family, and creative projects. While Drake has not publicly responded to Rocky’s remarks, the exchange continues to fuel discussions among fans about one of hip-hop’s most talked-about celebrity dynamics.
