Drake’s new album Snowman It has already generated major reactions online, but one moment into the project a public battle has now begun between streamer Adin Ross and music critic Anthony Fantano.
The trouble started after Fantano reacted to a lyric from Drake’s song “Make Them Pay” where the rapper mentioned Ross by name.
Fantano harshly criticized the line during the live broadcast, and Ross quickly responded with an angry response of his own.The feud attracted attention because both men already have very different relationships with Drake. Ross has worked with Drake several times through Kickstreams and stakes collaborations, while Fantano has spent years publicly criticizing Drake’s music.
Their history became even more tense in 2022 after Drake messaged Fantano on Instagram and mocked his review ratings by saying “his presence is light 1.”
“Now, release Snowman It has added another chapter to this ongoing tension.
Anthony Fantano criticizes Drake’s Adin Ross lyric as Adin Ross responds during the live stream
During his direct reaction to SnowmanAnthony Fantano paused after hearing Drake rap, “Bitch, I was helping Ross with streams before Adin Ross ever streamed.” Fantano seemed frustrated and immediately criticized the lyric. He said:“Oh my god, the bars are in… hell. We need to drop the Aden Ross references? Can you imagine? He’s replaying this segment on live now.”
It’s so hard, man.Shortly after the clip began circulating online, Adin Ross responded during his own stream. Ross strongly disagreed with Fantano’s comments and directly mocked the music critic. He said:“You’re weird, brother. That’s why no one likes you.”Ross did not stop there. He continued to attack Fantano personally and claimed that the YouTuber built his career by criticizing artists for viewpoints. Ross said:“You don’t have anything to do yourself. Your whole channel is just reactions.
Every artist hates you I understand you have to get clicks and numbers. I get it.”The Kick Streamer also claimed that Drake hates Fantano due to his harsh reviews over the years. Ross added:“Drake hates you. Every other artist hates you. Keep listening to everyone’s music. I hope they give you a DMCA. I really do.”So far, Anthony Fantano has not responded directly to Ross’ recent comments. However, he has already published his official review of Snowman on TheNeedleDrop and gave the album a “Light 2” rating. This result once again continued Fantano’s long history of providing negative reviews of Drake’s projects.Online conflict has now become one of the biggest talking points around Snowmanespecially since Drake’s lyric turned a simple album reaction into a much larger argument between two major internet personalities.
