In the latest episode of hip-hop high jinks, Rick Ross took to social media to jest about a recent aerial misadventure involving none other than fellow rapper Drake. In a series of playful posts, Ross spun a yarn about coming under fire from Drake’s fighter jet, a tale that humorously conflated fiction with reality.
Ross, on his Instagram, painted a vivid scene reminiscent of a “Top Gun” action sequence, claiming that a fighter jet – implicitly piloted by Drake – had his plane in its crosshairs. He even added a quirky detail about Drake’s aircraft being so sophisticated it included ashtrays in the armrests, a nod to the luxury often associated with the Canadian rapper’s lifestyle.
Taking the jest to Twitter, Ross elaborated on the imaginary dogfight, humorously stating his plane was shot down by Drake’s F16, a scenario that playfully referenced Drake’s biracial heritage and past rumors surrounding a nose job. The tweet was light-hearted in nature but pointed in its ribbing, underscoring the ongoing friendly feud between the two musical titans.
However, it was quickly clarified by Ross’ representative to TMZ that the real story was far less cinematic but equally peculiar. Ross’ plane had not been downed by any means but had instead found itself stuck in mud upon landing in Dallas. This clarification highlighted that Ross’ previous posts were in jest, aimed at mocking his rap counterpart amidst their ongoing banter.
The playful exchange of barbs between Rick Ross and Drake is part of a longer narrative of back-and-forth jabs the two have been exchanging. This includes not just social media quips but also lyrical call-outs in their music and public statements. It’s clear that in the competitive world of hip-hop, even the mishaps can become material for the ongoing saga of artist rivalry, with Ross and Drake proving they’re game to play along.
