“He wants a hit collab so bad”—Internet reacts as Offset shows support for Drake following T-Pain’s comments

Offset recently weighed in on the exchange between Drake and T-Pain, taking the side of the former and stating in an Instagram comment:

"Da Boy is da boy sh*t ain’t gone change […] hating on another grown man who do more numbers than everybody is Diabolical !!!!"

The comments by Offset were prompted by T-Pain's comment that Drake did not follow his own words regarding gracefully leaving the music race, and Drake's subsequent response to said comments by T-Pain, in which the Canadian rapper accused T-Pain of harboring resentment towards him.

Offset's interjection in the matter between the two has prompted reactions on social media, such as the tweets quoted below:

"Oh he wants a hit collab so bad"

Netizens had mixed reactions to Offset's comment in support of Drake, with some arguing that none of the rappers were really hating or dissing each other, while others questioned the genuineness of the rapper's support for Drake:

"I dnt think offset was dissing t pain and I don't think t pain was hating on drake. Leave the southern brethren out of the hate talk. Just opinion from two musicians," one netizen opined.

"Where was he when Drake needed a back up when battle was hitting?" another netizen questioned.

"All the points made were valid but you’re not getting a feature where were you during the beef?" one fan questioned.

"My boy ain’t getting that feature m," another fan responded.

Offset and Drake have collaborated before this incident

Offset has collaborated with Drake before his comments in support of the Canadian rapper. The rapper worked with Drake and Metro Boomin on the single "No Complaints" in 2017. Later in the same year, Offset and the rest of his group Migos appeared on Drake's performance at the OVO Fest in Toronto. Drake and Migos then went on to collaborate on the single "Walk It Talk It" in 2018.

Even before their formal collaboration, Drake and Migos had a friendly camaraderie, with Drake helping the group gain popularity with his remix of Migos's song "Versace."

Offset talked about Drake's remix of the song and how it helped Migos gain in popularity during an interview with Vlad TV in 2016:

"Soon as we got out, I get on the phone, call back home like, ‘Yo’…they like ‘Yeah, Drake on it’. I’m like, ‘What?’…[the] homies like, ‘Yea [Versace] on the radio,’ but I’m not knowing…I’m thinking…they got it played on the radio once or twice…real quick or something and then it’s like, nah. I had to sit down for, like, four more months as that went on.”

He also credited Drake's remix of the song with helping him with visitations in prison in another interview with the Call Her Daddy Podcast in 2023:

"I had a visitation thing. I’m married now ya’ll, so this is nothing crazy. This is before my wife. You could have six visits in one day. They 30 minutes a piece. I had my mom on there, and I had like, six girls I was dealing with, but they wasn’t coming! My momma was coming every week, but the girls wasn’t coming!"

The rapper continued:

"Then all of a sudden, downstairs, they like, ‘You got six visits.’ I’m like, I got six visits? I’m tryna think like… bro, they sit in the lobby. It’s like a screen, and it pops up the face, and they put they name and my name, and they’re going up and coming down, saying something to each other. Back to back. And I’m like, oh shit."
