The superproducers squared off Friday on Instagram Live.

Over a gamey synth, Drake can be heard rapping “I rock diamonds when I’m under pressure,” with Ricch following the Toronto rapper’s verse with his own melodious bars. “Stop playing with me bro, I’m not playing with you, bro,” Boi-1da can be heard saying while playing the track.
