Drake is clapping back on Childish Gambino. Months after the rapper, legal name Donald Glover, revealed to GQ that his 2018 single “This Is America” was originally a Drizzy diss track, the Canada native responded during the first night of the It’s All A Blur tour.

At the foot of Drake’s stage at Chicago’s United Center while the rapper performed “Headlines”, random messages illuminated, including one that read “The overrated and over-awarded hit song ‘This Is America’ was originally a Drake diss record.”

It appears that the retort sat in The Boy’s pocket for a minute, as Glover explained to GQ the original premise for “This Is America” in April.

“I told [director] Hiro [Murai] the idea, and he’s like, ‘I really want to do that,’” Glover told the publication. “The idea for the song started as a joke. To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ — that was all we had was that line.”

“To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ — that was all we had was that line. It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it,” Glover continued. “But then I was like, this s*** sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it.”

Furthermore, it appears that shade towards Kendrick Lamar was thrown as Drake’s Chicago concert while the Grammy-winner announced that his next album, For All the Dogs, will be released soon.

“I look around at all these faces. I know it’s summertime, I gotta give you s***,” Drizzy said. “I don’t know about these guys that go away for three, four, five years and wanna chill out and all that s***. That’s not me.”

Lamar’s 2022 album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers released five years after his fourth studio album, DAMN.
