Fat Joe and Jadakiss are the latest rap legends to weigh in on Drake’s latest drop, “What Did I Miss?”
On a recent episode of The Joe and Jada Show, the two icons shared their thoughts on the new track, with Fat Joe calling it “really dope.” The pair praised not just the sound but also the deeper message behind Drake’s lyrics—especially his reflections on loyalty and industry betrayals.
Joe admitted he was tempted to repost the track out of pure admiration but ultimately held back, not wanting to get caught in the crossfire of any subliminal shots Drake might be firing.
“I felt like the new track was really dope,” Joe said. “I listened to it a couple of times… and you know he’s one No. 1 away from Michael Jackson’s record. I think the soul of Michael Jackson is fighting that shit ‘cause every time [Drake] drops one, you think it’s gonna hit that mark—but something pulls it back down.”
Drake premiered the track just last week, and it’s already got hip-hop’s heavyweights chiming in.
Joe and Jadakiss continued their conversation by diving deeper into the message behind “What Did I Miss?”—specifically Drake’s bars about friends who turned their backs on him. Kiss broke it down bluntly, saying that kind of flip-flopping is just part of the rap industry.
“He got a taste of the rap industry, man,” Kiss said. “They flip on you… This game, they flip… Rappers, the game, executives, everybody you could think of—even store owners. Yeah, they fucking flip. That’s part of this. That’s the game we in.”
Joe echoed that sentiment with some confusion of his own. “I didn’t understand that, like how guys he made so much with flipped on him,” he said. “The world changed on them. The world definitely changed on them because I didn’t understand that shit. You know what I’m saying? But I was just like, yo, how all these guys was his mans? They flip.”
One former friend fans believe Drake may be addressing in the track is LeBron James. The lyric that’s sparked the most talk: “I saw bro went to Pop Out with them, but been dick-riding gang since ‘Headlines,’” which many see as a nod to Bron attending Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out” concert in L.A.
