Drake unfollows Diddy as the music mogul faces serious allegations

Reports surfaced that Drake, 37, recently unfollowed several high-profile figures, including NBA star LeBron James, rapper Playboi Carti, podcaster Joe Budden, and NBA player DeMar DeRozan.

This move followed a long-standing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, where fans believe some of these unfollowings may be connected to Lamar's Juneteenth concert earlier this year.

Notably, James was seen at the event enjoying Lamar's performance, and DeRozan even took the stage during Lamar’s rendition of his Canadian rapper's diss track, Not Like Us. This public display likely exacerbated tensions between Drake and those connected to Lamar, contributing to the unfollowing spree.

However, the most recent unfollowing — that of Diddy — caught fans' attention, particularly given Diddy’s current legal troubles. The 54-year-old music mogul has been embroiled in a scandal, with allegations of s*x trafficking, and is currently behind bars awaiting trial.

As the victim list in the case grows, many speculate that the Canadian rapper’s decision to unfollow Diddy might be his attempt to distance himself from the controversy.

Drake's recent social media purge comes amid his feud with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. The two artists have been at odds since March when Lamar was featured on Future and Metro Boomin’s hit Like That, which took subtle shots at Drake.

Tensions escalated when Lamar released his diss track Not Like Us in May, aimed directly at Toosie Slide's singer. The track has since dominated the Billboard Hot 100 and fueled the rivalry between the two.

Drake, known for his chart-topping hits like God's Plan and Hotline Bling, has been working on new music. In fact, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of his upcoming album, For All the Dogs, set to drop later this year. The album has already generated buzz with its star-studded collaborations and promises to be another major success for the Toronto native.

Additionally, he is preparing for his upcoming international tour to promote the new album.
