"Suppressor on the 1 spot" — Drake vows to dethrone Alex Warren after singer ranked on top on this week’s Hot 100

On Tuesday, July 15, @Kurrco shared a screenshot of Drake's Instagram story, in which the One Dance rapper vowed to dethrone Alex Warren from the top of the Billboard US Hot 100 chart.

Drizzy had attached a screenshot of the Billboard chart, on which his latest track, What Did I Miss?, ranks at number 2, right below Warren's February 2025 song, Ordinary. Over the screenshot, the rapper wrote:

"Suppressor on the 1 spot / I'm taking that soon don't worry one song or another / Rule changes and all"

According to Style Magazine, Alex Warren is a singer-songwriter from California who was raised in a Catholic household.

Warren's father passed away when he was nine, which led his mother to alcoholism. At the age of 18, Alex was kicked out of his home by his mother, after which he spent many nights in his friends' cars.

Speaking about his father's role in pushing him towards music, Warren told Variety in a May 2025 interview:

"I wanted to be a singer since I was a kid and my dad bought me my first guitar. Funnily enough, I didn’t start writing until he passed. Music became an outlet for me to process my trauma."
