OVO Sound leader Drake has social media buzzing after publicly calling out New York radio station Hot 97 at his Summer Sixteen Madison Square Garden tour stop last night (August 4).
Footage has surfaced of Drizzy going at the iconic station and suggesting it should fire one of its key radio hosts.

A couple days ago, Hot 97’s Ebro admitted he joked about a beef brewing between Drake and rap star Eminem.
It was such a joke and people ran with it… Slow news day. Drake got too much respect for all that… https://t.co/fzq1WnwRbb

Drizzy went to Instagram Thursday (August 4) and seemed to send a subliminal response and downplay the now-defunct rumor’s authenticity.
This week, Ebro claimed Drake would be ready to engage in a battle with Slim Shady if any verbal jabs are thrown his way.
“I told Drake that the rumor was that Eminem was gonna gear up to come after him. He laughed. He was like, ‘That’s not gonna happen. He’d never do that and if he did, I’ve got something for him too.’” (Hot 97)
