6ix9ine has suggested that Drake and Lil Durk’s recent legal and public troubles are tied to what he sees as divine punishment, raising the feud between the rappers back into view in a recent interview with VladTV. He said he believes there is a spiritual connection between their 2020 collaboration on “Laugh Now Cry Later” and the difficulties both artists have faced since.
The comments came as 6ix9ine said he was stunned by the backlash Drake has faced despite his global popularity. “I want to end with this. I could be wrong, but I’m gonna say it. God has showed me that he’s real,” he said, adding that he never expected the world to turn against Drake. He also pointed to Lil Durk’s 2024 arrest in connection with a murder-for-hire case, saying, “Durk gets arrested for murder-for-hire.”
The backdrop is a track that once tied Drake and Lil Durk together musically but also carried indirect shots at 6ix9ine during his public feuds with multiple hip-hop artists. “Laugh Now Cry Later” was released in 2020, and the song has since become part of 6ix9ine’s broader narrative about enemies, backlash and what he says are consequences for dissing him. Lil Durk remains in custody without bond, and his trial is scheduled for August 2026.
What makes the moment land now is the timing of 6ix9ine’s remarks: Drake is again facing criticism in public, and Lil Durk’s legal case is still unresolved. But the tension in 6ix9ine’s theory is that he framed the pair’s troubles as spiritual payback while neither Drake nor Lil Durk has responded to his latest comments. For now, the claim stands as 6ix9ine’s reading of events, not one either rapper has chosen to answer.
