Drake got a few things off his chest about people who called themselves his "friends" following his 20 v. 1 battle with Kendrick Lamar and other MC's.
The Canadian rapper popped out to a Nostalgia party held at Rebel Nightclub in Toronto on Saturday night, October 5. While he was on the mic, Drizzy took the time out to address his former friends who stabbed him in the back during Hip-Hop's civil war between himself and numerous top-notch rappers.
“One thing about Nostalgia, this party here, my real friends are definitely in the building,” Drake began.

“But I’m gonna tell you," he continued. "You’re gonna come to a point in life where people you thought were friends, or people you thought were close to you, they might switch up, they might try fighting with you, they might stab you in the back, they might do a lot of things to you. You’ll come to that realization. Wherever you’re at in life, you’ve probably been there, and you’ll be there again. That’s how life is."
Drake closed out his speech by blasting Beyoncé's "Me, Myself & I." Later on, the "Family Matters" rapper also vibed out to the sounds of 50 Cent's "Many Men" and even welcomed singer Mario on stage. The Baltimore belted out his hits like "Just A Friend" and "Let Me Love You" while Drizzy rocked out by his side.
The Grammy award-winner addressed his fake friends after some outlets reported that he's plotting "round two" against foes like Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky and others. Fans are convinced that Drake may also have JAY-Z in his crosshairs. On the night after the concert, Drake took to his Instagram Stories and posted a photo of Solange after her infamous spat with Hov inside an elevator with Beyoncé in 2014.
