A fiery so-called rap feud may be headed for the boxing ring, and none other than Drake is rumored to be watching from the wings—possibly even funding the whole thing.
ICYMI, the buzz started during a recent livestream hosted by Adin Ross, where Soulja Boy and DDG reignited tensions that have been simmering since accusations emerged involving DDG’s relationship with actress and singer Halle Bailey. Things quickly escalated into a back-and-forth of threats, insults, and fight talk. That’s when Ross dropped a potential bombshell:
“Honestly, knowing Drake, he might just pay to see this happen,” Ross said. “I won’t put him on blast by calling him out on stream, but I truly believe he might be interested.”
Funny but interesting.
Drake hasn’t commented publicly on the speculation, but the idea of him quietly backing the fight has added a whole new layer to what’s already shaping up to be one of hip-hop’s most bizarre crossover moments.
The drama hit a new peak after Soulja Boy accused DDG of being abusive toward Bailey. He didn’t mince words, issuing a direct challenge:
“You claim to be a fighter, right? Let’s settle this in the ring,” Soulja said. “You think you can just put your hands on the Little Mermaid? Not on my watch.”
DDG clapped back by questioning Soulja’s credibility—and his grip on reality:
“Soulja Boy is just ranting. He needs help,” he responded. “You can’t fight, so stop pretending you want to challenge me. You were supposed to fight Chris Brown years ago, and that never happened.”
That part.
While it may sound like clout-chasing gone wild, both artists actually have history in the celebrity boxing scene. DDG scored a win over TikTok star Nate Wyatt back in 2021, and though previous matches with PnB Rock and Toosii fell through, he’s no stranger to fight hype. Soulja, meanwhile, has made noise about stepping into the ring before—but has yet to glove up.
If this match gets greenlit, it’ll join a wave of rapper-fueled fight cards that have featured names like Blueface, Benzino, and KSI. But what makes this bout stand out isn’t just the rivalry—it’s the possibility that one of the biggest names in global music might be calling plays from the shadows.
Whether Drake’s actually behind it or not, people are watching. At least we are.
