Drake & 21 Savage’s New Album “Her Loss” Review: “The Duo Hit The Perfect Home Run”
The project featured 16 tracks with a lone guest appearance from Travis Scott. It also featured contributions from Metro Boomin, Lil Yachty, Noah “40” Shebib, Boi-1da, and others.
Drake had a lot to say on Her Loss, from subtly dissing DRAM over their 2015 song feud to slamming Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian as a “groupie” and perhaps panning “Munch” hit Ice Spice.
Drizzy even warned to rekindle his feud with Kanye West by implying that their 2021 reunion was only a favour for Rap-A-Lot Records CEO J. Prince. One of the album’s most contentious moments was when Drake appeared to imply that Megan Thee Stallion lied about Tory Lanez shooting her.
