Drake's loyalty to Johnny Manziel sparks wild backlash against Gillie Da Kid fans
Drake has picked a side in the ongoing drama between Johnny Manziel and Gillie Da Kid. The rapper from Toronto made headlines again, just weeks after his highly public music clash with Kendrick Lamar.
After being quiet about a different argument, Drake is now vocal about a different argument. This one includes Johnny Manziel, who used to play quarterback in the NFL, and Gillie Da Kid, who is a rapper and podcaster. In the beginning of August 2025, Drake's name started floating around, and most recently the feud has been seen on social media.
Drake supports Johnny Manziel in social media clash with Gillie Da Kid
On Wednesday, August 6, 2025, Drake showed support for Johnny Manziel on Instagram. Johnny had shared a photo of himself wearing a T-shirt that read
'FREE GILLIE'S MIND.'
The shirt was a playful response to recent jabs thrown by Gillie on his show
'Million Dollaz Worth of Game.'
The podcast host had made fun of Johnny's past mistakes in football and his personal life. Drake commented on Johnny's post with a laughing emoji and wrote,
'They don't understand your journey, king.'
This short message was enough for fans to take Drake's side. Many saw it as a blatant signal that Drake supported Johnny Manziel instead of Gillie Da Kid.

'keeping it real.'
Still, fans online are now divided. Some are with Johnny Manziel and Drake. Others are sticking with Gillie Da Kid. Either way, this online feud just got a lot more attention with Drake now involved.

On Raksha Bandhan 2025, Sushant Singh Rajputs Sister Shweta Says Still Tying A Rakhi On Your Wrist In My Heart
Mumbai: It has been more than five years since Bollywood's rising star, Sushant Singh Rajput, suddenly left for heavenly abode. Ahead of Rakhi, his sister Shweta Singh Kirti expressed her longing for her brother through an emotional social media post. Shweta shared a video montage of some precious moments of the 'Chhichhore' actor with her family on Instagram. Revealing that she can still feel Sushant's presence around her, Shweta wrote, "Sometimes it feels like you never really left. That you're still here, just beyond the veil, watching silently. And then, in the next breath, the ache hits. Will I truly never see you again? Will your laughter remain only an echo? Your voice, a fading memory I cannot grasp? (sic)" Sharing how she deals with the pain of losing her baby brother at such a young age, she added, "The pain of losing you is so intimate, so raw, that words shrink in its presence. It lives quietly inside me, too sacred to be spoken aloud, too vast to be contained. And with each passing day, it deepens, not with bitterness, but with clarity, revealing how fleeting this material world is, how fragile our attachments, and how only the Divine offers refuge." However, Shweta firmly believes that she will meet Sushant again, "on the other side, beyond stories, beyond time, where souls recognize each other not through names, but through the silent language of love." "Until then, I remain here, still tying a Rakhi on your wrist in my heart, still praying that wherever you are, you are wrapped in joy, in peace, in light," she concluded, wishing her brother eternal peace. For the unversed, Sushant was found dead in his Bandra house in Mumbai on 14 June 2020 at the young age of 34. The official cause of death was ruled as death by suicide. The official postmortem reports claimed that the actor died of asphyxia due to hanging.
