Drake may not be lacing up gloves, but his name is already floating around the ring.
The rapper is rumored to be backing a potential boxing match between Soulja Boy and DDG—a clash that stems from a volatile dispute involving allegations about DDG’s relationship with actress and singer Halle Bailey. Tensions came to a head during a livestream hosted by Adin Ross, where both rappers traded verbal jabs. Ross dropped the idea that Drake might bankroll the fight. “Honestly, knowing Drake, he might just pay to see this happen,” Ross speculated. “I won’t put him on blast by calling him out on stream, but I truly believe he might be interested.”
Drake has yet to publicly address the rumors. The animosity intensified after Soulja Boy accused DDG of being physically abusive toward Bailey. “You claim to be a fighter, right? Let’s settle this in the ring,” Soulja Boy said. “You think you can just put your hands on the Little Mermaid? Not on my watch.”
DDG questions Soulja Boy’s credibility as whispers of Drake’s involvement loom
DDG fired back, brushing off the accusations and implying his opponent’s mental state was compromised. “Soulja Boy is just ranting. He needs help,” DDG said. “You can’t fight, so stop pretending you want to challenge me. You were supposed to fight Chris Brown years ago, and that never happened.”
Neither artist is new to the celebrity boxing circuit. DDG defeated TikTok star Nate Wyatt in 2021 and had previously been linked to matches against PnB Rock and Toosii—neither of which ever came to pass. The bout, if finalized, would join a wave of rap-adjacent fight cards that have included Blueface, Benzino, and KSI. What sets this one apart is the possibility of a heavyweight outside the ring—Drake—pulling strings behind the scenes.
