Exactly...
Drake stays talking slick in his lines to the heavyweights because he knows politics won't let them respond accordingly. He most likely truely believes that he can't be touched and that he can throw passive agreesive petty sub raps to anybody and they are just gonna sit back and except it out of fear of being putting on meme on the OVO Fest screen and getting ripped apart by his OVO legion fanbase.
Drake failed Law 47 of the 48 laws of power.

It started with Meek and it should have ended with Meek. He shouldn't have dropped Summer 16 and sent those slick bars to Hov, Ye, and Tory Lanez. Dude was gaining more enemies that he didn't need.
Then after not liking what he heard on Joe Budden's podcast he decides to send him subshots thinking that Joe was just gonna sit back and just talk about it on his podcast and let it go.
He forgot that Joe is with the shyts and has NOTHING to lose. And on top of that Joe Budden can rap his off and is a REAL lyricist . These last few diss tracks, Joe has been lyrically stripping Aubrey of his MC armor piece by piece and opening the flood guts for all other established MC's to attack him.
Joe didn't even go at Game or Hov like this
And like I stated before. Drake can't have social media help him like it did the Meek situation. He can't rely on memes.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised if Drake called Hollow Da Don to respond to Joe Budden just to throw him off course. But Joe hasn't steeled away and has literally focused ALL his energy on him.
And he can have all the sell out tours and platinum singles, albums, or whatever. But at the end of the day, the more silent he is to all this. The more he literally becomes a popstar.
If he wants to be respected as a rapper. He HAS to respond.
I wouldn't be surprised if Rihanna texts him like "You gonna let ole boy rip you like that?
"
