Social Media Explodes After Young Thug Reacts to Drake & PartyNextDoor’s Album Success
Looks like Drake just proved—once again—that he’s still running the game. Despite all the hate, the rap beefs, and the constant chatter about him “falling off,” Drizzy just secured another No. 1 with his new joint album with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy Songs 4 U. And guess who’s hyped about it? Young Thug! The Atlanta rapper wasted no time hitting up social media to celebrate, and let’s just say, the internet had a LOT to say about it.
Young Thug Shows Love to Drake After No. 1 Win
Thugga hopped on X (formerly known as Twitter) to give his boy Drizzy his flowers after the album shot to the top of the charts. In true Young Thug fashion, he kept it short and to the point, writing:
“That boy back at No. 1 🐐”
Now, he didn’t name-drop Drake directly, but everyone knew EXACTLY who he was talking about. The GOAT emoji said it all. And just like that, social media erupted.
Let’s be real—Young Thug knows how to stir the pot. With all the Drake hate floating around lately (thanks to a certain someone named Kendrick Lamar and the general “Drake ain’t got it no more” narrative), Thug’s public support hit different. Some people were here for it, others? Not so much.
Social Media Reacts: “Drake Is STILL That Guy”
If there’s one thing we know about the internet, it’s that nobody ever just agrees on anything—especially when it comes to Drake. The Shade Room posted Thugga’s reaction, and within minutes, the comments section was a warzone.
Some people were fully backing Drake, arguing that no amount of slander could erase his legacy. Others were still hating, trying to downplay the win. And of course, you had the fence-sitters, who just wanted to remind everyone that both Drake and Kendrick can exist without the world imploding.
Check out some of the best (and messiest) reactions below:
- @myajasmineeee: “I mean, he’s still Drake. Y’all can like both of them, chile.”
- @xoxo.coraea: “I don’t know why people compare Drake and Kendrick like they’re not two different types of artists in the same genre. Y’all weird.”
- @charii_new1: “The Drake hate only exists online 🙄.”
- @delvay_: “Y’all acting like Drake ever had a chance of being No. 2 😂😂.”
- @therealbabyjuu: “We’re not gonna act like that rap battle killed Drake 😒. He’s STILL him.”
- @whosaidwhattowhoo: “Look at y’all switching up, this is hilarious.”
- @1rxchtre: “Kendrick is a real rapper and not out here suing people for personal reasons 🔥🔥.”
- @therealdrillajas: “Nobody said he was out of the game, he just took an L. Relax.”
- @legally_lexy: “Period!! Y’all are obsessed with seeing him fail over one diss track. KMT.”
As expected, the Drake vs. Kendrick convo took over the comments. Some people refused to let Drake breathe, still clowning him over his loss to Kendrick. Others clapped back, saying the internet was overreacting and acting like Drake hadn’t just stacked another No. 1 to his already insane resume.
Drake Shouts Out 21 Savage for Holding Him Down
It’s not just Young Thug showing love to Drake—21 Savage also made sure to hold him down.
In their song “Gimmie A Hug”, Drake personally thanked Savage for standing by him when times got rough. The bar?
“Savage, you the only one who cared when we was really in some s**t, man.”
Talk about real loyalty. If there’s one thing about 21, he’s gonna ride for his people. And after seeing how quick some of the industry turned on Drake during his beef with Kendrick, you can tell that shoutout really meant something.
And let’s be honest—Drake NEEDED a win after the rough couple of months he’s had. From the Kendrick beef to the “falling off” talk, to people saying he’s just not that guy anymore, the pressure was definitely on. But if there’s one thing Drake knows how to do, it’s get people talking—and once again, he’s got the whole industry debating his place in the game.
Is the Drake Hate Just a Trend?
One of the wildest things about this whole situation is how fast people switch sides.
A few months ago, the internet was dragging Drake through the mud after his rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. The narrative was that he was finished, that the new generation didn’t rock with him, and that he was officially washed.
Fast forward to now? He drops an album, hits No. 1, and suddenly, the same people who were clowning him are back on his team.
This has always been the Drake cycle:
- People slander him for weeks.
- He drops something new.
- It charts.
- People remember why he’s still THAT GUY.
- The cycle repeats.
So, is the Drake hate even real? Or is it just another internet trend where people love to tear someone down—until they’re reminded of why they were a fan in the first place?
Final Thoughts: Drake Isn’t Going Anywhere
Like it or not, Drake is still one of the biggest names in music. Hate him, love him, try to ignore him—he’s still gonna do numbers, he’s still gonna drop hits, and he’s still gonna dominate conversations.
Young Thug knew exactly what he was doing when he hyped up Drake’s success. Whether it was genuine or a little bit of industry trolling, it did exactly what it was supposed to do—keep people talking.
So what’s next? Will Drake drop another album just to remind y’all he isn’t done? Will Kendrick respond? Will the internet flip-flop again next week?
Honestly, at this point, we’re just here for the chaos.
Hate him or love him, Drake keeps making headlines. With his new album hitting No. 1, the debate around his relevancy, his rap beefs, and his place in the game isn’t dying down anytime soon.
So what do y’all think? Is Drake’s win deserved, or are people just riding for him out of loyalty? Drop your takes in the comments!
