Over the weekend, four-time All-Star and NBA Champion Pascal Siakam posted a video of himself on a boat on Instagram with the video caption ‘Who Knows This Banger’ with owls on either side. The actual post caption reads, “Sunday Bangers: You’re getting bodied by a singing **.


The song that was playing in the background is called Burning Bridges by Drake, which is featured on his album Iceman on May 15, 2026. The song was heavily featured during the Pacers' archrivals,
the New York Knicks NBA Championship parade earlier this summer, and the lyrics, “You’re getting bodied by a singing ****," were being sung by members of the Knicks such as Jordan Clarkson, who was gesturing where she was at with his hands.


According to ESPN, Cash Cobain, a rapper and producer, watched the comeback without any nerves, knowing that this Knicks team was going to pull it off at the end. "I'm not a Knicks fan; I am a Knick," Cobain says, echoing his friend and fellow rapper A$AP Rocky.”


Another key lyric is "Where she at? Yeah, where she at? Your baby mama ain't even post your single..." And it is universally seen as a diss towards Harlem, New York’s own ASAP Rocky regarding Rihanna not posting a single off his album, ‘Don’t Be Dumb.’


ASAP Rocky Reveals Why Rihanna Wasn’t Apart Of The ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ Rollout & Feud with Drake


During an appearance on The Jason Lee Show, Rocky discussed his ongoing feud with Drake and addressed the viral “Burning Bridges” lyric in which Drake implied Rihanna had not promoted a single from Rocky’s album on social media.


After Lee joked that Rocky had “taken his girl,” referring to Rihanna, Rocky laughed off the comment before explaining why he thinks the feud has dragged on.


"I didn't," Rocky said. "Everybody moved on with their lives and is still strung up on that. It's just bugged out to me. The internet antics and smear campaigns and all that, we see right through that. That's why I just be like, 'I ain't responding to that.'"


According to Rocky, Rihanna would eventually post his album after it reached No. 1. Rocky shared that he didn’t want her as part of his rollout because any success that came with it would be attributed to her involvement.

"This is the problem though," Rocky explained. "If she would have posted my album, everybody would have been like, 'You only went No. 1 'cause your girl posted.'"
"She not on my f---- album," he said. "What single she supposed to be posting? She posted my album... after it went No. 1."

The exchange marks another chapter in one of hip-hop’s longest-running rivalries. Tension between Drake and ASAP Rocky has simmered for years, with many fans linking it to Drake’s past relationship with Rihanna and their increasingly direct lyrical jabs.
