Alex Warren Responds to Drake’s Diss After Topping Him on the Hot 100 Chart

It’s no ordinary day when one of the biggest rappers in the world calls you out, but Alex Warren is taking Drake‘s recent diss in stride.

In response to Drizzy’s comments about the TikToker’s smash hit “Ordinary” blocking the former’s “What Did I Miss?” from debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, Warren posted a tongue-in-cheek video of himself Monday (July 14) on Instagram Stories. In the clip, he dances along to Drake’s “Nokia,” staring innocently into the camera as he shakes his hips to the lyrics, “Baby girl/ Let me see you do your dance, let me see you twirl.” 

In lieu of a caption, Warren simply tagged Drake’s username. “Nokia” also happens to have never reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, debuting at No. 10 in March before eventually climbing to No. 2 the following month.

Warren’s response comes shortly after the Canadian superstar expressed his disappointment with debuting at No. 2 on the Hot 100 chart dated July 19. On his Story, Drake wrote earlier on Monday, “Suppressor on the 1 spot.”

“I’m taking that soon don’t worry one song or another,” he added at the time, sharing a graphic of the U.S. chart’s top 10, which showed “What Did I Miss?” sitting just below Warren’s “Ordinary” at No. 1.

Though Drake may not be happy with the position of “What Did I Miss?” on the charts this week, the track still earned him a record-extending 81st top 10 hit on the Hot 100. He also now has 359 total entries on the ranking, more than any other artist in history.

Plus, “Ordinary” has proven pretty hard to beat. Warren’s breakthrough hit has spent a total of six weeks in the top spot, dethroned only temporarily by Sabrina Carpenter’s “Manchild” spending one week at No. 1 in late June.

Warren is currently fresh off the release of “On My Mind” with ROSÉ, which followed his Jelly Roll duet, “Bloodline.” Both tracks will appear on Warren’s new album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, which drops Friday (July 18).
