Ebro thought he was minding his business in his post Hot 97 era until Drake decided to check in at 3:30 a.m. with a message that landed somewhere between reckless and unhinged.
On a recent episode of Ebro in the Morning, Ebro revealed that Drake sent him a late night DM that read, “Die slower, pussy. We got some shit for you.” The message came early Saturday morning and immediately raised eyebrows, not just because of the wording, but because of the timing and the history between the two.
Ebro did not match the energy. He replied back telling Drake to relax, chalking the aggression up to hurt feelings over losing to Kendrick and making it clear he was not taking the bait. His response framed the moment as misdirected anger, not a real issue between them.
As the conversation unfolded on the podcast, the crew did not pretend this came out of nowhere. They openly discussed that Drake has been mad at Ebro for a long time, with references going back years. One voice in the room made it plain that the DM was not playful and definitely not friendly, even if Ebro chose to laugh it off.
Things took a humorous turn when they started joking about legal options, lawsuits, and whether this was the kind of message that would have Drake calling lawyers if the roles were reversed. The jokes kept coming, including comments about legal fees, contingency percentages, and Rosenberg being the go to guy for legal connections.
Still, underneath the jokes was a real acknowledgment that the wording was wild. “Die slower” and “we got some shit for you” is not casual trash talk, especially coming from one of the biggest artists in the world and landing in the inbox of a media figure who just exited a major radio platform.
The room also hinted at long standing tension dating back to commentary from years ago, suggesting this was less about one DM and more about unresolved feelings Drake has been carrying. The general consensus was simple. Drake is angry, and this message was not random.
What made the moment land harder is the timing. Ebro is freshly out of Hot 97, entering a new chapter, and here comes a reminder that old industry relationships never really disappear. Even without a microphone at that station, his voice still clearly travels.
Whether Drake meant it as a threat, a joke, or a vent session that should have stayed unsent, the DM did exactly what late night messages usually do. It exposed more than intended and gave the internet a lot to talk about.
And now the question sits right there. Was this Drake crashing out, or just another chapter in a long running media rap cold war that refuses to die quietly.
