The Game believes the rap world is feeling Drake’s absence.

In a recent conversation with Complex, The Game expanded on his claim from last week, asserting that the rap scene has taken a significant hit, suggesting it’s “down 50%” due to Drake being less present.

“Y’all ain’t appreciate one of the greatest now the absence & silence has the art form down 50%,” he wrote on his Instagram Story in response to a tweet claiming that the Toronto rapper’s feud with Kendrick Lamar “killed commercial rap.”

“You gotta think…ever since Drake been quiet or chillin’ or not Drake in his usual, the world all f—ed up, bro,” Game told Complex.

“You walk in the clubs, everybody on their phone, nobody looks like they’re having a good time no more. If you walked in the club today, what song would make you happy about being there right now? Yeat gonna come on and turn y’all up? He gonna turn y’all section up? And I’m not sh–tin’ on Yeat; I’m sayin’ this is why Drake needs to go up.”

“What are we doing, bro?” he continued. “This sh– is sad without Drake in the club. It’s sad, bro. But we got Drake out here feeling like we didn’t appreciate him, so now he tucked away working on Iceman, chillin’ like, ‘They don’t appreciate me.’ He should never feel that way.”
