Drake Calls Out Jay-Z & Roc Nation for Alleged Jury Tampering in ASAP Rocky Case

Drake is once again making headlines, but this time, it’s not for dropping a chart-topping hit. Instead, the rapper appears to be fuming over the fact that ASAP Rocky has managed to beat his gun charges, walking away a free man. Drake has never hidden his complicated history with both Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, but now he’s taking things to another level by accusing Jay-Z and Roc Nation of pulling strings to ensure Rocky’s acquittal.

Drake’s Complicated History with Rihanna and Rocky

Drake’s obsession with Rihanna has been well-documented. From their rumored romance to his infamous public declaration of love at the 2016 MTV VMAs, Drake has always made it clear that Rihanna was the one who got away. However, his dream came crashing down when Rihanna ultimately rejected him and moved on with ASAP Rocky.

Drake’s heartbreak reportedly turned into bitterness when Rihanna not only chose Rocky but also started a family with him. Over the years, he has subtly thrown shade at the couple through his music. Fans have often pointed out that Drake seems to hold a grudge against Rocky for being with the woman he once desperately pursued.

ASAP Rocky’s Legal Battle and Jay-Z’s Alleged Interference

Rocky’s legal troubles stemmed from a 2021 altercation involving ASAP Relli, a former associate of the ASAP Mob. Many believed that the rapper would be found guilty, but to the shock of some, the jury ruled in his favor. As soon as the verdict was announced, Rocky and Rihanna celebrated, seemingly putting the whole ordeal behind them.

However, rumors began circulating that Jay-Z may have played a role in securing Rocky’s freedom. Since Rihanna is still affiliated with Roc Nation, speculation suggests that Jay-Z allegedly leveraged his influence to sway the jury, ensuring that Rocky wouldn’t be convicted. Drake, who has had a longstanding rivalry with Jay-Z, appears to be convinced that there was foul play involved.

Drake vs. Jay-Z: A Decade-Long Feud

Drake and Jay-Z’s relationship has always been complicated. Initially, Jay-Z gave Drake a boost by featuring him on the Blueprint 3 track “Off That.” In return, Jay-Z also collaborated with Drake on “Light Up” from Thank Me Later.

However, tensions began to rise in 2011 when Jay-Z and Kanye West dropped Watch the Throne around the same time Drake released Take Care. Drake took a jab at them on DJ Khaled’s track “I’m On One,” rapping, “I’m just feeling like the throne is for the taking, watch me take it.” This was seen as a direct challenge to Jay-Z and Kanye’s dominance in the industry.

Birdman, who was backing Drake at the time, further escalated the feud by dismissing Jay-Z as an overrated rapper and claiming that Lil Wayne was far superior. Jay-Z responded with a subliminal shot at Birdman on Watch the Throne’s “HAM,” rapping, “Really? Half a billi, you got baby money.” Lil Wayne clapped back on “It’s Good,” threatening Jay-Z directly, and Drake joined in on the diss track, making it clear that he was siding against Hov.

Did Jay-Z Manipulate the ASAP Rocky Verdict?

Drake’s latest claims suggest that Jay-Z used his influence to ensure Rocky’s acquittal as a favor to Rihanna. While there is no concrete evidence to support these allegations, it wouldn’t be the first time that Jay-Z has been accused of using his power to protect artists under his umbrella.

Regardless of the truth, one thing is clear—Drake is not happy. Whether his frustration is rooted in lingering feelings for Rihanna, his ongoing feud with Jay-Z, or both, fans are paying close attention to see how this drama unfolds next.

For now, Rihanna and Rocky seem unbothered, enjoying their lives as a family while Drake continues to air out his grievances through his music. As always, the rap game remains filled with drama, and this latest chapter between Drake and Jay-Z is far from over.
