Drake Fallout: Rick Ross
Rick Ross said he's open to reconciling with Drake but framed the relationship as strained, saying Drake has "a lot of issues" to address while also explaining why he still performs their collabs.

Rick Ross says he is open to fixing things with Drake, but only after Drake addresses “a lot of issues” Ross said are still unresolved. (complex.com) Ross made the comment on the April 15, 2026 episode of GRM Daily’s *Thoughts In A Culli*, after being asked whether he would work with Drake again. He called the fallout “unfortunate” and said the decision on making money together again also depends on Drake. (complex.com) (iheart.com) Ross also explained why Drake’s voice still comes on during his shows: he said the records they made together are still hits. He has recently performed songs including “Aston Martin Music,” and reports this week said he also cited “Stay Schemin’” and “Money in the Grave” as records he still plays. (complex.com) (thesource.com) That matters because Ross and Drake were once frequent collaborators, with a run of songs that stretched from *Teflon Don* to later singles in the 2010s. Their split became public during the 2024 rap battle cycle, when Ross released the Drake diss track “Champagne Moments” on April 13, 2024. (complex.com) (youtube.com) The feud did not stay inside music. Drake later sued Universal Music Group over Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” and a federal judge dismissed that case in October 2025, ruling the diss-track lyrics were protected opinion in the context of a rap battle. (musicbusinessworldwide.com) (nbcnews.com) Ross has been signaling a softer public line for months. In March 2026, footage of him letting Drake’s verse play on “Aston Martin Music” circulated online, and Complex reported that Drake reacted after Ross told the crowd, “We gonna let Drake sing a little.” (complex.com) Ross was already talking this way in 2025. In a Bootleg Kev interview published in May 2025, Billboard reported that Ross said the dispute was not “really deep” and left open the idea that the two could eventually move on. (billboard.com) For now, Ross is separating the business from the relationship: the songs stay in the setlist, and the reconciliation question stays on Drake’s side of the table. (complex.com)
