ASAP Rocky may have some space on his new album, Don't Be Dumb, to fully respond to Drake dissing him on "Family Matters."

On Friday, DJ Kast One stopped by the Ebro in the Morning show on Hot 97 to discuss what he's heard on Rocky's forthcoming album, which is slated to drop on August 30. According to the DJ, Lord Pretty Flacko has bars ready for a specific situation he was involved in over the last few months.

"I heard songs being played. I heard Slick Rick [on it]," said Kast One. "That was amazing. I also heard ASAP Rocky definitely addressing a lot of the main topics that are happening out here right now. Let's just say, the list keeps going on strong."

The radio crew was stunned, with Ebro asking DJ Kast One to clarify that Flacko addressed his situation with Drake. Kast One claimed he was and that Drizzy would forever have beef with him after the album drops.

"So you saying Rocky is still on Drake's list is what you saying," Ebro asked Kast One, to which he replied, "Oh, he's going to be cemented on the list after this."

Fans believe Rocky already released two responses to Drake, who appeared to have shaded Rihanna on the song "Fear of Heights" on For All The Dogs. The Harlem native first alleged response came on Kid Cudi's "Wow" where he rapped, "Me and my vamp bae got our own handshake/These n***as can't stomach me, gotta go get a mandrake."

A mandrake is a plant root that can be used to alleviate stomach illnesses. The play on the word can refer to the 6 God having to find a male companion as Rocky is now with his former flame. The verse can also be a reference to Drake revealing in October 2023 that he would take some time off from music to fix some stomach ailments.

The second response came on Future and Metro Boomin's "Show of Hands." In that song, Rocky rapped about a certain someone being in their feelings over women and how he hooked up with a girl before that person of interest had a kid with the woman

"Call up Pluto, Metro, should've put me on the first one / N***as swear they bitch the baddest, I just bagged the worst one / N***as in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin'?/I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son/Still don' trust you, it's always us, never them/Heard you dropped your latest sh*t/Funny how it just came and went (Ha-ha-ha)," Rocky rapped.

Around the time of the Pusha T beef, the mother of Drake's child, Sophie Brussaux, reportedly dated ASAP Rocky before she got involved with the Toronto megastar. There was also controversy surrounding Brussaux, Drake, Rocky, and her child's paternity.

In the middle of his feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake reserved some space on "Family Matters" to eviscerate Rocky by shading him over his music, fashion career, and Rihanna.

"Rakim talkin' shit again / Gassed 'cause you hit my BM first / N***a do the math, who I was hitting then," Drake spits. "I ain't even know you rap still 'cause they only talking 'bout your fit again / Probably gotta have a kid again before you think of dropping any shit again/Even when you do drop they gon' say you should model cause it's mid again."

He continued, "Smoking Fenty 'bout they shoulda put you on the first one you tryna get it in / Ask Fring if this a good idea next time you cuddled in the bed again / She'll even tell ya leave the boy alone before ya get your head split again."
