“Money in the Grave” features Rick Ross and signals an end to Drake’s beef with the Miami rapper.
“When I die, put my money in the grave / I really gotta put a couple n— in they place / Really just lapped every n— in the race / I really might tat, ‘Realest N—’ on my face,” Drake raps.
Neither song in his The Best In The World Pack references the Raptors or the NBA championship, but the cover art for both songs features the championship trophy.
Drake sat courtside for the finals and cheered on the Raptors, sometimes causing tensions with Warriors fans before the series ended Thursday night.
