In a surprising social media shake-up, Grammy-winning rapper Drake has unfollowed several high-profile figures on Instagram, including fellow artists Kendrick Lamar, Playboi Carti, and Rick Ross, as well as sports icons LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan.
Additionally, former rapper and podcast host Joe Budden was also among those removed from the “God’s Plan” rapper’s following list.
The move has sparked widespread speculation among fans and observers, with many questioning the reasons behind Drake’s decision to unfollow such notable personalities.
While no official explanation has been given, the unfollows come shortly after Budden publicly criticized Drake’s latest album, For All the Dogs, calling it “uninspired” on his podcast.
Drake’s relationship with some of the individuals he unfollowed, particularly Kendrick Lamar, has been characterized by occasional tension over the years, but the sudden social media change has led to fresh speculation about underlying rivalries.
However, it’s unclear whether this social media move will result in further fallout or remain a simple reshuffling of Drake’s social media network.
