“I know we don’t really see eye-to-eye about music and that you are not the biggest fan of most of my albums (thanks for the kind words on “Take Care” and “If You’re Reading This” tho). But it is what it is, you know. Can always hope you’ll like the next one!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anthony Fantano (@afantano) Article continues below advertisement

Anthony Fantano is not fazed by Drake s response and has gone on to further troll the rapper
While most people would believe that Drake sharing the real DMs of his messages to Anthony would quiet the YouTuber, it appears that Anthony has continued with his trolling mission. After Anthony realized that Drake posted the messages, he taunted the rapper on Twitter, along with his fans.Article continues below advertisement I made that man leak his own DMs.

— anthony “light 1” fantano (@theneedledrop) September 16, 2022 In a slew of tweets, Anthony clowned Drake for allowing Anthony to trigger him enough to share his DMs. Additionally, he made a meme out of the DMs Drake sent that has since gone viral on Twitter.Article continues below advertisement
Of course, Anthony also followed up by throwing more insults the “Honestly, Nevermind” rapper’s way via Instagram Live — from accusing Drake of having ghostwriters to calling his DMs salty. “He was in his feelings Wednesday night, very late into the evening, I was in this garage lifting some weights when I caught a DM request from Champagne Papi himself, Anthony said on IG Live (per HipHopDx).

Interestingly Anthony later gave Drake his props for having "bangers" in a tweet. However, we highly doubt Drizzy will even take the compliment for what it is. Naturally, social media users are split on the beef.
