Not true. Tory dropped his first mixtape in 2009, and gained recognition on his second tape in 2013. The weeknds hoise of balloons was in 2011 but he didn't break out until later when Trilogy dropped in late 2012.
There was distraught from both sides. Drake had his issues with Tory way before Tory started dissin. They both realize they had the city divide, so it wasn't only right, to make amends.
I personally would say that was a strategic move being Drake been the biggest outta Canada if not Bieber and the only one with same genre in Tory’s lane; it was only right to seek the fans’ attention by mentioning Drake because even Bieber had co-signed Tory. 🤷🏿♂️ He wasn’t the first person to pull that move and he won’t be the last.
How when Trilogy came out late 2012.. Tory had a moxtape out in 2009, and was already working on his second tape by 2013. And he blew up off of that second tape.
