Drake released a surprise track titled “What Did I Miss?” on July 4th, and it’s not only causing ripples in the music industry, but also in the world of crypto. In the track, Drake talks about betrayal and shifting loyalties after his 2024 feud with Kendrick Lamar. But what really caught attention was his shoutout to Bitcoin. He compares how people suddenly turned against him to Bitcoin’s wild price swings: up one moment, down the next.
Here are the key lyrics, “I look at this shit like a BTC. Could be down this week, then I’m up next week.” This means that just like Bitcoin’s value can rise or fall quickly, people in his life changed sides without warning — once supporting him, now siding with his enemies.
This isn’t Drake’s first connection to crypto. He’s known for placing huge Bitcoin bets on sports through the crypto gambling platform Stake, even though he lost over $1 million in BTC in 2024 on bad bets.
Drake’s one of the biggest artists out there, and referencing Bitcoin in a song like this illustrates just how deep into mainstream culture crypto has moved. It’s not just for tech or finance folk anymore, now it’s coming up in music, sports, and entertainment. His song doesn’t refer to investments in crypto or technology, it’s just referencing Bitcoin as an uncertainty symbol
