Canadian rapper Drake made a memorable appearance on popular Canadian streamer xQc’s livestream on Sunday night, November 24, sparking discussions on various intriguing topics that kept viewers engaged. The interaction not only highlighted Drake’s charisma but also his candid insights into the music industry and his relationships with fellow artists.

During the stream, as Steve Lacy’s hit song “Bad Habit” climbed the Billboard Hot 100 charts, Drake seemed to throw shade at the artist. He remarked, “This guy’s like a fragile opp — it is a good song, though,” hinting at some underlying tensions while acknowledging the song’s quality. “Chat knows what I’m talking about. Fragility.” This comment quickly caught fire on social media, underlining the complicated dynamics often present in the music scene.

The fallout from Drake’s comments reached Lacy almost immediately, as they went viral across platforms. He responded on his Instagram Story early Monday, November 25, sharing a screenshot of Drake’s remark with the caption “Yoooooooooo,” while his track “I Get Lonely” played in the background, further fueling the ongoing conversation. This exchange showcases the interconnected nature of artists in today’s digital landscape.

Following the exchange, Lacy shared a playful selfie on his feed, featuring a finger heart, and captioned it, “WAITTTTTT LMAOOOO WHAT IN THE.” He added a smirking emoji that poked fun at Drake with the caption, “who tryna be my…fragile opp?” This lighthearted response indicates that Lacy is taking the situation in stride, adding an amusing twist to the unfolding drama.

It seems that Drake might have felt some type of way about Lacy, who hails from Compton, performing at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert. Lacy was seen dancing to “Not Like Us,” which could have been perceived by Drake as a challenge or a slight, given the competitive nature within the hip-hop community. This highlights the potential for misunderstandings and rivalries among artists within the industry.
