Rapper Rick Ross has set the record straight about his involvement in the high-profile feud with Drake earlier this year, denying any allegations of a coordinated attack in what Drake described as the “20-v-1” conflict.

During the Nightcap Summer Sessions: LIVE event in Houston on Sunday (August 25), hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, the Grammy-winning rapper addressed rumors about the feud, which saw a slew of artists like Kendrick Lamar, Future, Metro Boomin, A$AP Rocky, and The Weeknd seemingly taking shots at Drake. Ross made it clear, per a report from HipHopDx, that there was no conspiracy behind the beef.

“There were no conspiracies,” Ross stated, dismissing the notion that the clash was orchestrated. The feud intensified after Drake mentioned it in his song “Push Ups,” referring to it as a “20-v-1” situation.

The drama unfolded when Future and Kendrick Lamar released disses aimed at Drake in the track “We Don’t Trust You,” a narrative that continued in a sequel titled “We Still Don’t Trust You.” A$AP Rocky also entered the fray with his track “Show of Hands,” where he seemingly referenced Drake’s past with Sophie Brussaux, the mother of his son, Adonis. Rocky’s lyrics, “N-ggas swear they b-tch the baddest, I just bagged the worst one… Flacko hit it first, son,” appeared to target Drake directly, while also mocking Drake’s recent album For All the Dogs.

In response, Drake fired back on his track “Another Late Night” from the same album, with lines like, “I ain’t Pretty Flacko, b-tch, this shit get really Rocky,” a clear dig at Rocky’s nickname and their rumored shared history with Rihanna.

The Weeknd also appeared to have a bone to pick with Drake on “All to Myself,” a track from “We Still Don’t Trust You.”

Ross, on his end, seemed to enjoy stirring the pot, coining the nickname “BBL Drizzy” for Drake and frequently teasing him on social media. However, when asked directly about his role in the feud, Ross dismissed any claims of a coordinated attack, stressing that there was no collective effort by all the artists involved to target Drake.

Ross’s clarification suggests that while the feud generated plenty of heat and headlines, there was no grand scheme behind the scenes, just individual artists expressing their views
