What’s The Real Meaning Of IDGAF By Drake? Here’s What We Think

As the title suggests, Drake and Yeat truly do not give a f*** about the naysayers or haters on “IDGAF.” The track starts with a sample from Azimuth’s song “The Tunnel” before transitioning to a hard-hitting production and Yeat’s cocky lyrics, per Genius. “I put a check on my neck, life check ya in the head / I signed for a couple milli’, you only touched a hundred thou,’” he exclaims. In the chorus, the two rap talents reiterate that their rivals have no sway over them. “Yeah, I don’t be givin’ no f***s (Not one) / I don’t know if you caught on / I don’t be givin’ no f***.” While Yeat has refrained from sharing an official meaning behind “IDGAF,” the track might be pointing at his beef with fellow rapper Autumn. 

Back in 2021, Yeat got into a war of words with the Southern talent on social media, claiming that the latter was ripping off his sound. “MF really tryna sound like me bro go do some else dat s*** suck,” the Oregon-based rapper wrote on his Instagram story (via YouTube). Yeat’s words didn’t bode well with Autumn, who claimed: “I gave you yo voice and yo biggest song before yo distro deal.” In June 2023, nearly two years after their social media spat, Autumn implied that they had both moved on. “To this day, I’m still mad that I kind of fed into it,” he said in an interview with Boxboyslive.
