Peter Rosenberg is joking that Ebro Darden might want to consider legal action after Drake allegedly sent his longtime radio co-host a series of hostile direct messages, some of which Rosenberg said sounded like threats.
Speaking on the debut episode of The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show, Rosenberg reacted to the leaked Instagram DMs and suggested that if he were in Ebro’s position, he’d handle things the way Drake often does when conflicts escalate.
“It’s a good response,” Rosenberg said of Ebro’s reply to Drake. “Honestly, if I were you, I would do what Drake would do: sue. It feels like a threat. He said ‘die’ and then ‘we got some shit for you.’ I’m going to court like you, Drizzy. I’m going to court.”
The remarks came after Ebro revealed screenshots of messages he says Drake sent earlier this week, including one sent around 3:30 a.m. that read, “Die slower pussy.” Another message added, “We got some shit for you.” Ebro said the DMs were part of a longer history of exchanges between the two, with some messages dating back to 2020.
Ebro shared the messages on the first episode of his new show with Rosenberg and Laura Stylez, which launched following the cancellation of Ebro in the Morning. According to Ebro, the latest messages felt especially aggressive compared to past conversations.
In his response to Drake, Ebro attempted to de-escalate the situation, writing, “Relax. You’re salty about losing to Kendrick. You’re not mad at me… Love bro.” He made it clear on the show that he wasn’t looking for conflict and only spoke publicly about the exchange to address the growing chatter.
The DM leak is the latest chapter in a long-running feud between Ebro and Drake. Ebro has been one of the rapper’s most vocal critics, particularly during Drake’s viral battle with Kendrick Lamar. Tensions flared again last week when news of Ebro in the Morning’s cancellation spread online, prompting Drake to post a hatchet emoji, something Ebro interpreted as a jab.
Ebro fired back on social media while Rosenberg also weighed in with a pointed tweet criticizing what he described as a pattern of behavior that’s made the rapper increasingly difficult to defend.
