"Champagne Moments" is a diss track by American rapper Rick Ross aimed at Canadian rapper Drake.[1] It is a response to "Push Ups", hours after the song was leaked. Champagne Moments was released on April 13, 2024 and was released on to streaming platforms 2 days later.[2] It samples the 1975 song "Je Ne Suis Que De L'Amour" by Paul Mauriat and a clip of Drake performing at a concert saying Rick Ross is his "favourite rapper to rap with on any song".[3]

Music video

It takes place in an airplane hangar with Ross sitting on a stool while smoking marijuana, behind him is a Chevy Bel-Air and next to him is bottles of alcohol, specifically Luc Belaire Rare Rosé and Bumbu Rum, which Ross endorses and below it is a poster promoting the 3rd Annual Rick Ross Car & Bike Show.[4] [5] [6]

Cover art

The original cover art depicted a white person who resembles Drake. The origins of the cover art went way back to 2014 when a Twitter user showed the original photo while saying "please take a moment to enjoy: white guy who looks like drake."[7] On June 9, 2024 the cover art was changed to a caricature of a blonde haired Drake with glasses wearing a suit.[8]

Aftermath

Drake would later respond with his diss track "Family Matters" on May 3, 2024 and The Game would later take shots at Rick Ross with his diss track "Freeway's Revenge" on May 10, 2024.[9]
