The rap world is abuzz with the latest diss track from Drake, titled "Drop & Give Me 50", where he didn't hold back in taking shots at his adversaries. Among those targeted was NBA star Ja Morant, adding fuel to speculation about a potential beef between the two. 

Drake's lyrics include a subtle but pointed reference to Morant's signature celebration, the "griddy", a move that the Memphis Grizzlies guard made famous. The line suggests a level of understanding behind Morant's emotions, hinting at a deeper conflict between the two.

Adding complexity to the situation is the rumored romantic entanglements involving both Drake and Morant with Johanna Leia and Brooklyn Nikole, respectively. Drake's past involvement with Leia and an alleged fling with Nikole could be contributing factors to any tension between the two men.

Speculation about the source of the apparent discord between Drake and Morant has been fueled further by Morant's cryptic social media activity. 

A tweet from Morant in March, urging someone to "Stay on dat side," has been interpreted by some as a veiled response to Drake, potentially setting the stage for the lyrical retaliation seen in Drake's diss track.

Additionally, Morant's echoing of Metro Boomin's tweet, which seemed to imply distrust towards someone who switches sides, adds another layer of intrigue to the situation. The tweet, coupled with Morant's subsequent comment, suggests a stance taken by Morant that aligns with others who have expressed skepticism towards Drake.

The swirling rumors and social media speculation only serve to add to the mystique surrounding the alleged feud between Drake and Morant. Until either party directly addresses the situation or further evidence emerges, fans can only speculate about the true nature of their relationship and any underlying tensions.

As the saga continues to unfold, the rap and basketball communities will undoubtedly be watching closely for any further developments or responses from either Drake or Morant, eager to decipher the meaning behind the lyrical shots fired in "Drop & Give Me 50."
