Aubrey Drake Graham, popularly known as Drake, publicly snubbed Abel Tesfaye, aka The Weeknd, during a livestream with famous streamer Félix Lengyel, better known as name xQc. This moment happened during a random evening broadcast, where the duo interacted with fans, played music, and discussed various topics as The Weeknd’s song began playing.
Drake, in a move that highlighted the ongoing tensions between the two Toronto natives, explicitly instructed xQc “change this song,” emphasize, “We don’t hear that.” The comment shocked and delighted live viewers, as it highlighted the strained relationship between two of Canada’s biggest music stars and added a new chapter to their much-discussed feud .
The incident sparked a series of reactions online, with some calling the moment humorous while others expressed disappointment at the public discord. “Drake told xQc off LMFAO weekend ‘we’re the real six, we don’t listen to that‘,” one social media user posted, capturing the general sentiment of surprise and entertainment.
There is speculation about the depth of the feud. Given Drake’s comment about “Real 6ixers,” referring to their shared Toronto roots, this statement may suggest a deeper rift than previously thought. Observers questioned whether this was just a joke or a sign of a more serious argument.
Fans of both artists were divided, with some defending Drake’s right to his musical preferences and others feeling that the move was unnecessarily petty, especially in public eye where both artists have significant influence.
The feud between Drake and The Weeknd has been simmering for years, with subtle criticisms delivered through music, social media and directly online. This latest incident adds fuel to speculation about their relationship, especially given their history together and the shared city they call home.
