In “Back to Back,” Drake let us know that he has no tolerance for online bombast when he rapped, “Trigger fingers turn to Twitter fingers” in a diss aimed at rival Meek Mill.
Now that Meek and Nicki Minaj are over, Meek will probably fade into obscurity again, so it makes sense that he took aim at someone else with “Twitter fingers” during a Sunday night concert in London.
As the Washington Post is reporting, he never exactly called Donald Trump out by name, but he did say all of this:
For some reason, in my room, they got the TV set to CNN. Every day I wake up and see all this bullshit going in the world, people trying to tear us apart, people trying to make us turn against each other. So tonight, my proudest moment isn’t selling tickets or having people singing songs. My proudest moment — if you take a look around at this room, you’ll see people from all races and all places. And all we did tonight was come inside this building, show love, celebrate life, more life, and more music! And I just want you to understand, if you think one man can tear this world apart, you’re out of your motherfucking mind. It’s on us to keep this shit together. Fuck that man.
As any connoisseur of diss tracks knows, the true mark of a rapper’s success is when they don’t need to name their subject for the audience to just get it.
Judging by the cheers from the audience, they got it.
