Drake Reopens Instagram Comments After Years — Fans Call It “Luxury”

After nearly six years of social media silence, Drake has reopened his Instagram comments section, sparking a frenzy among fans and stirring fresh gossip across the internet. On June 6, 2025, media personality DJ Akademiks broke the news on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the global rap icon had finally turned his comments back on for the public.

“Drake has opened his Instagram comments again to the public,” DJ Akademiks posted.

For longtime Drake followers, this may feel like the end of an era. Since July 2018, the Canadian rapper has restricted Instagram comments following his now-infamous feud with Pusha T. The timing back then was no coincidence. In the wake of Pusha’s brutal diss track “Infrared” from his album Daytona, Drake went on the defensive, both lyrically and digitally. That move included locking down his Instagram comment section — a subtle but telling form of retreat.

Fans React: “Commenting on a Drake Post Feels Like Luxury”

Now that the gates have reopened, fans aren’t holding back. One viral comment read:

“Commenting on a Drake post feels luxury 😭.”

Drake’s return to public interaction has many speculating whether this is part of a new era, a PR shift, or simply the artist feeling more secure in his digital skin. Others are revisiting old beefs, with one user posting, “Lol has had it off since the Pusha beef 💀.”

SiR vs. Drake? A New Controversy Emerges

While Drake may be re-engaging with fans, not everyone in the music industry is singing his praises. In a viral video that’s been making rounds, TDE artist SiR alleged that Drake was the reason his 2024 Toronto concert was abruptly canceled.

“I just wanna say right now that I did not cancel my show last year. Drake did,” SiR claimed during a live performance, hinting at behind-the-scenes politics involving a venue partially owned by the rapper.

SiR later took to X to comment on the media frenzy, writing:

“Why is this news?”

The drama has ignited fresh debates online about Drake’s influence, not just in music, but in the industry power dynamics at large.

Drake’s $750K Cricket Bet Adds to the Headlines

If that weren’t enough, Drake also made headlines this week for betting $750,000 on Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a popular team in the Indian T20 cricket league, just before their June 3 face-off against Punjab Kings. The rapper posted a screengrab of his bet on Instagram, further proving he’s never too far from the spotlight — or a bold wager.

From sports bets to social media resets, it seems Drake is fully back in public mode. As always with Drake, it’s never just a social media move—it’s a cultural moment, and DJ Akademiks keeps an eye.
