A$AP Rocky has made it clear that he is not interested in continuing any lyrical feud with fellow rapper Drake. Speaking to Billboard ahead of the release of his upcoming album, "Don't Be Dumb," Rocky expressed his disinterest in what he referred to as "little kitty shit," signaling his desire to move beyond any perceived animosities. Known for his confrontational reputation, Rocky stated, "You got to realize, certain n****s was throwing shots for years. I ain't in the middle of that shit. That's not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some pussy boys." This comment comes on the heels of lyrical exchanges between the two rappers, notably after Drake appeared to throw shade at Rocky in his track "Fear of Heights" from the album "For All The Dogs," suggesting a rivalry that fans have often speculated about.

Rocky emphasized the severity of real-life issues, indicating that he is focused on more pressing matters than beef with other artists. "It is real beef outside. It is real. Ns getting really clipped and blitzed every day. Ns sniping n****s every day," he remarked. The rap community has witnessed various back-and-forths between the two, with Rocky reportedly retaliating in tracks like Kid Cudi's "Wow" and Future and Metro Boomin's "Show of Hands."

As anticipation builds for his forthcoming project, fans will have to wait a little longer, as "Don't Be Dumb" has been pushed back to fall. Further developments regarding the album are expected to follow. For more updates, stay tuned to Rocky’s official channels, and check out the full interview at Billboard.
