50 Cent Reveals Drake’s Alleged ‘Opp List’: Who’s On It?
50 Cent has shocked fans by unveiling Drake’s so-called “opp list” during a recent interview with Big Boy TV.
The list, which includes over 60 names, has sparked intrigue, especially amidst Drizzy’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar and his involvement in a lawsuit with UMG.
The rapper revealed a printed version of the list, which appears to highlight individuals and entities that Drake allegedly views as his enemies.
From fellow rappers to high-profile figures in the entertainment industry, even major institutions like award shows make an appearance.

Drake hasn’t toured since 2018, and his long-standing beefs, particularly with Kendrick Lamar, have been a constant topic of discussion.
But what does it mean to be on Drake’s “opp list”? According to 50 Cent, it’s a result of Drake’s massive success and how certain people, perhaps feeling threatened by his dominance, have become adversaries.
“Drake was winning consistently more than everybody else in the culture,”
50 Cent explained, holding up the list during the interview.
“And then these people start to turn into people that feel like they’re opps, ‘cause they keep watching him win.”
He ran his fingers along the list as he spoke, suggesting the growing number of people who may be looking to take shots at the Canadian rapper.
The origins of the list are unclear, but some fans speculate that it was first shared by the X account Drake Debate in October 2024.
However, it was 50 Cent’s recent mention of it that gave the list new life, sparking even more conversations about the people Drake might consider his “opp.”
