Drake, Chris Brown shade each other while supporting Lil Wayne

Chris Brown and Drake seemingly took thinly veiled shots at at each other while declaring their support for fellow rapper Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne sparked concern among fans and friends after his posted a series of tweets last weekend saying he was “defenseless and defeated” and ready to “leave gracefully.”

The “A Milli” rapper who has been embroiled in a prolonged battle with his record label Cash Money for some time seemingly hinted at his apparent retirement from music, a move which sparked concern among fans and friends.

Since the tweets several of Hip Hop’s biggest stars including Drake and Chris Brown have expressed their support for Weezy on social media.

But fans quickly picked up a apparent shade in Brown’s touching Instagram post to Wayne, with many alleging he was throwing shade at Canadian rapper Drake saying “the greatest rapper alive” and “most of y’all are his students.”

Drake who is a protégé of Wayne apparently picked up the thinly veiled jab as well, as he dropped a apparent response in his supportive Instagram post to his mentor.

The relationship between Chris Brown and Drake has become a sour one over the years, and may look to become reignited since Drizzy is apparently openly dating Brown’s ex Rihanna.
