Aside from his positive review of a social media post, some believe Drake may have subtly criticized Ross in a new Instagram post.
Monday is Canada Day, a federal holiday celebrating the Canadian Confederation, which began on July 1, 1867.
On Monday, Drake posted a message on Instagram wearing a Toronto Raptors T-shirt, wishing his 146 million Instagram followers a happy Canada Day.
However, when he said, “Happy Canada Day to everyone,” he started laughing for some reason.
Some suspected he was laughing because Ross was attacked in his home country on the eve of Canada Day.

Los Angeles’ Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been embroiled in a heated feud for over a decade.
Kendrick previously opened for Drake, but he dissed Drake and other rappers on Big Sean’s 2013 song Control.
Kendrick insisted it was just “friendly competition” and both Drake and Kendrick have downplayed reports of a feud between them over the years.
That all changed in March 2024 when Drake released First Person Shooter with J. Cole, in which he referred to himself, Cole, and Kendrick as the “big three” — the three best rappers at the time.
Kendrick responded with his own song “Like That,” featuring Metro Boomin and Future, in which he rapped, “motherf**k the big three, n***a, it’s just big me.”
A slew of diss tracks from both sides, including Not Like Us, in which Kendrick accuses Drake of being a pedophile.
Lamar made headlines last month during a Juneteenth concert, where he joined members of the Bloods and Crips gangs on stage and performed “Not Like Us” five times in a row.
