Drake Flips the Script: “U My Everything” Drops with Shocking “BBL Drizzy” Beat
The hip-hop headline of the day would have to be the unexpected release “U My Everything,” a collaboration from all-around creep Sexxy Red and guest spitter Drake. It’s not just that partnership, either. Critics and fans are buzzing about the brazen manner in which Drake takes on an apparent recent diss.
Drake and Kendrick Lamar have also had a simmering feud, with the rappers trading non-physical shots in songs. Just when it seems Drizzy’s thinly veiled ennui on “The Heart Pt. 6” has quashed the inferno, producer Metro Boomin comes through with fuel to burn on the “BBL Drizzy” beat below: The viral instrumental, with off the strength of tales on Drake’s facial fake emplacement (courtesy of Rick Ross) served as pair for Drizzy’s courteous verse.

“In Sexxy We Trust”, an impressive follow-up to her chart-topping “Hood Hottest Princess,” was also amassing accolades featuring collaborations with Lil Baby and Vonoff1700. That said though, “U My Everything” shines with its well-placed new track over the oldie but always ratchety-sounding “BBL Drizzy.” It’s a move so calculated it turns a diss into an expression of peak confidence.
Here, Drake takes a gamble by stepping on the very beat initially intended to make fun of him. With reckless abandon, lines such as “BBL Drizzy, they didn’t have no choice but to pay me/The last man that was in before me I took him out like a gangster go dancin‘, for real” and “BBL Drizzy tryna’ take it easy on the kid But y’all ain’t gettin’ nothing new ‘Cause I just took her shopping in Miami one weekend/As soon as she land again she’ll be wanting somethin’ else” fit this profile. Again, doubling as a punchline about those aforementioned surgical suspicions and yet another excuse for him to stunt on his strong personal relationship with the man who can nix any appointment. A braggadocios (with a hint of humor) answer.
Oh, and social media is having a field day with this discovery! Drake, of course, does have his defenders, the ones lauding him for pulling a fast one. As for whether it’s actually a rebuttal or simply a cute diversion, we’re not sure. But industry insiders, they observe a stroke of strategic brilliance from Drake. “That’s a multi-layered play if it carries that kind of potential conflict with Kendrick Lamar.”
But by co-opting the diss and flipping it into a brag, Drake seizes control of the narrative on his cosmetic surgery rumors. Partnering with Sexxy Red and Metro Boomin has only solidified that. Well played, Mr. Carter; not just a shrewd business decision that cements his connections, but a timely demonstration of their chairman’s boundless capacity for staying current with the ever-changing hip-hop landscape.
It’s not just a catchy song, but rather a strategic move. With fans parsing through every lyric and analysts breaking down the business implications, speculation about the other side of this story is at an all-time high. You think Drake move the needle for how diss tracks are going to sound in the future? Kendrick Lamar, your move. And, while the hip-hop community eagerly awaits more fun, there’s at least one certainty: Drake has officially thrown a fresh log on this fire. And everyone’s been cracking their knuckles. unsplashed by way of Getty Images.
