Yung Miami is keeping it light and classy, framing the whole thing as no hard feelings. She's publicly hyping Drake's upcoming ICEMAN project, calling him 'special,' praising his cleverness and interludes, and positioning herself as a genuine supporter.
Drake left her on read during his 2024 Kendrick feud — not because he's too busy for City Girls, but because that whole period was pure chaos. Sources close to the situation say his team was drowning in responses. Still, watching Yung Miami narrate getting ghosted in real time is deliciously petty drama.
Yung Miami DM'd Drake during his 2024 Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin feud requesting a feature on 'Take Me to Chanel.' He only liked the message — no reply. Their prior collaboration, 'In My Feelings' (2018), hit No. 1 for 10 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.
Drake's silence speaks volumes — but apparently not loudly enough to stop Yung Miami from singing his praises anyway. That's either real loyalty or the smartest PR move in rap right now.
Yung Miami just served up some vintage tea, and honestly? It's delicious. The Miami rapper sat down with former NFL star Cam Newton on his YouTube show Funky Fridays and recounted the time she tried to get Drake on her track 'Take Me to Chanel' — only to be left completely hanging.
She recalled DMing the Toronto megastar during one of the most chaotic periods of his career, when he was locked in that infamous 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar and Metro Boomin. The result? A single like on her message, zero response.
Her reaction was immediate: 'He just liked the message — like come on now, don't do that!' The fact that she's telling this story publicly, laughing about it rather than seething, says a lot about where Yung Miami's head is at. She made clear she harbors no ill will toward Drake, even defending his silence by acknowledging everyone goes through rough patches. 'When people going through they sh–, like, I get it, I understand,' she said.
But the shade she threw right after — 'Drake, don't do that now 'cause when you called me I was there!' — landed exactly the way she intended. It's the kind of playful clapback that's hard to pull off without looking bitter, but Yung Miami made it look effortless. Despite getting left on read, she's not letting it affect her enthusiasm for what's next.
Yung Miami expressed genuine excitement about ICEMAN and Drake's return to rap's forefront, describing him as 'so special' with music that's 'like you gotta know to know.' She praised his cleverness, his interludes, and the way he has a song for any occasion — even graduation. It's the kind of endorsement you'd expect from someone who's actually close to him, not just someone chasing proximity after being ghosted. There's plenty of history between these two, which makes this whole saga more interesting.
Yung Miami and her former City Girls bandmate JT provided vocals on Drake's 2018 smash 'In My Feelings' — a song that spent 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and essentially launched their careers into the stratosphere. She revealed she thought the initial call was an April Fool's Day prank: 'This gotta be a joke.' When they arrived at the studio, Drake was already saying their names on the track. That moment was, in her words, 'the breakthrough for the City Girls.' So when you factor in that level of history, getting left on read stings just a little bit more — even if she's laughing about it now.
