Drake's new post and new nails baffled his fans
New photos of Drake's return to the studio have generated buzz on the internet. The rapper posted a preview of his workspace on Instagram on January 8.
In the comment section, fans made bold guesses about possible collaborations as well as made lighthearted requests for new songs. Many of the rapper's contemporaries also jumped into the comments area as he received support from rappers like Blocboy JB, Reese LaFlare, Sexyy Red, and Riff Raff.
As per Hot New Hiphop's January 7 report, over the past few months, the rapper has made numerous uses of the dollar sign emblem. His joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR has been mentioned each time. In November 2024, the R&B veteran confirmed on Instagram that a new musical chapter was on the horizon. He posted "reloading," and the rapper replied, "$$$ It's time," in the comments.
The Instagram image was uploaded just days after Drake released Fighting Irish Freestyle. However, LeBron James, an NBA player who attended Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out event in June 2024, seems to be the focus of Drizzy's new rap song.
As per St. Vincent-St. Mary High School's website, when LeBron was a student at the high school, the Fighting Irish was the mascot. Now, during the song, seemingly targetting James, Drake rapped:
“The world fell in love with the gimmicks, even my brothers got tickets, seemed like they loved every minute/ Just know the sh*t is personal to us and wasn’t just business/ Analyzing behavioral patterns is somewhat suspicious.”
Nevertheless, the Hotline Bling hitmaker hasn’t clarified anything about his Instagram post or his dollar nails as of yet.
