Chubbs is hilarious!
One of the most unexpected—and strangely entertaining—rap beefs of the year has just erupted between T-Pain and Drake, and it’s already spiraling into a full-blown saga involving longtime affiliates and major artists.
It all started when T-Pain, during a recent interview, offered a candid take on Drake’s current status in the rap game. The auto-tune pioneer suggested that Drake should “take his own advice” and begin to gracefully bow out of music.
Drake didn’t let the remark slide. In response, the Toronto superstar claimed that T-Pain “never liked” him, dismissing the comment as coming from someone who was never in his corner to begin with.
That’s when things took a turn toward petty.
Drake’s longtime friend and OVO enforcer Chubbs—often considered the Draymond Green of Drake’s camp—took to Instagram with some not-so-subtle shade aimed at T-Pain. In two posts, Chubbs filmed himself in a club, asking the DJ to play some T-Pain. The DJ reportedly brushed off the request. Chubbs then followed up with a post showing a list of the top-streaming hip-hop artists, pointedly highlighting that T-Pain’s name was nowhere to be found.
Not everyone is here for the shade, though. Chris Brown took to Instagram to support T-Pain, calling him a “GOAT” and adding, “I love you, bro.” Though I don’t believe this means Chris Brown is shading Drake at all, I will tell you this: I don’t want to see round three between those two light-skinned brothas.
As of now, Drake has remained relatively quiet on the situation, letting Chubbs do the dirty work. T-Pain, meanwhile, hasn’t offered any further comments—but knowing him, a response might come in the form of an auto-tune track or another pointed interview.
One thing’s for sure: This doesn’t count as crashing something for Chubbs.
