It looks and sounds like Drake is starting off his Summer Sixteen tour by shooting out some subliminal shots with silencers on them.
In a fan recorded video posted to Twitter and found by Smoking Section, the “6 God” can be heard switching up the words to opening bars of the last verse on “Summer Sixteen.”
The version that we all know and love goes: “All you boys in the new Toronto want to be me a little.”
But in the version that he rapped on stage in Austin, Tx. last night, he rapped: “All you boys doing fake ‘Controlla’ wanna be me a little.”

While the song was already perceived as a diss towards fellow Toronto singer/rapper Torey Lanez because of this line and the “You was never gang, gang, gang, gang” line that followed, this altered version takes on a new meaning since Lanez himself has remixed “Controlla.”

The new words could also be a shot at Tyga who raised more than a few eyebrows when he dropped the video for his new single “1 of 1” which sounded like anything but as it almost a complete replica of “Controlla.”
Drake seems to be inching off his his “no reply” throne a lot lately. This summer alone he has not only responded to Joe Budden [finally] but has actually gone on the offensive with his latest move.
