On Sunday, October 23, Drake released a diss song titled "Two Birds One Stone" going at Kid Cudi.
"Two Birds One Stone"
"You were the man on the moon. Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry and famous. Rap like I know I'm the greatest / Then give you the tropical flavors. Still never been on hiatus / You stay xanned and perked up. So when reality set in you don't gotta face it / I'm down 200 in Vegas but winning life on a daily basis / It seems like nobody wants to stay in my good graces / I'm like a real estate agent, putting you all in your places .Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy. Is you crazy?" Drizzy raps on the song.
The new track was in response to Cudi taking shots at him via Twitter back in September.
"Everyone thinks they're soooo great," Cudi wrote at the time. "Talkin top 5 and be having 30 people write songs for them. Let me tell you something. The days of the fuckery are over. The fake ones wont be lasting too much longer. Im the one they worry about cause they know I dont give a fuck about the corny shit they do. And all u jealous chicken hearted shits I see you too. I am the culture. I keep silent because I dont ever wanna come off like some angry hater, but today, not only do I feel fantastic, Im feelin like taking over. I already have. My tweets apply to who they apply. Ye, Drake, whoever. These niggas dont give a fuck about me. And they aint fuckin with me."
The following month Cudi checked himself into rehab for depression and suicidal thoughts.
On Monday, October 24, Twitter users lashed out at Drake for what they perceive as the OVO Sound boss' lack of empathy for mental illness victims.
"Depression isn't a "phase" but thanks to adding to the terrible misconceptions of mental illness @Drake," wrote Mallory Merk.

"Why does it matter when Drake came up with those lyrics? The fact of the matter is he still said them after Cudi's issues were made public," user Sever added.

"Honestly so devastated that @Drake dissed @KidCudi for having mental health struggles. I feel so betrayed," disappointed fan Mallory Pernell tweeted.

The criticism of Drake has been nonstop.
Drake taking shots at Kid Cudi about his mental illness is just childish.

I love Drake but him making fun of Kid Cudi's depression is ridiculous. Depression isn't a "phase" it's a life long battle of self torment.

Drake just reinforced the black stigma that mental illness is a weakness, a flaw and not the disease it is. Get well Kid Cudi

Can't believe @Drake mocked Kid Cudi for suffering from depression. He can catch these hands for real. #MentalHealthFriendsUnite

What do y'all think? Are certain topics off limits during a rap beef?
