Champagne Moments – Rick Ross
Rick Ross Pops Bottles, Throws Shade: A Hip Hop Feud Ignites
The champagne corks are popping, but the only thing bubbly is the brewing tension between hip hop heavyweights Rick Ross and Drake. On April 2024, Ross uncorked “Champagne Moments,” a diss track aimed squarely at Drake.
This fiery response follows shots fired at Ross by Drake on his track “Push Ups.” In “Champagne Moments,” Ross throws shade at Drake’s alleged cosmetic procedures, boasting, “That operation to make your nose smaller… why’d you do that, man?” The lyrics also showcase Ross flexing his financial muscles, claiming Drake can’t compete with his wealth.
The music video for “Champagne Moments” doubles down on the mockery, featuring altered artwork that seems to portray Drake with lighter skin. This is a clear jab at Drake’s background.
Apparently, Drake isn’t taking the bait. Reports say he dismissed the diss, turning off the song when Ross bragged about having more money.
This feud appears to have roots in a collaboration between Ross, Metro Boomin, and Future. Drake took aim at that collab in his song “Push Ups,” igniting the current back-and-forth.
Will Drake respond with his own diss track? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: the hip hop world is watching with popcorn in hand.
