Moth Balls

"Moth Balls" emerged as one of the more talked-about cuts of $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, generally read as carrying more pointed, confrontational energy than the album's softer center. Per Wikipedia's credits table it is produced by PARTYNEXTDOOR with O Lil Angel, DJ Lewis, Eli Brown, Aiona and Prep Bijan — not the OVO 40/Boi-1da axis. Press coverage of the album noted Drake takes shots at several artists across the record (NME, NYT); 'Moth Balls' is widely cited in fan discussion as one of the project's sharper moments rather than romance, though specific targets are not definitively documented and should be revisited. Drake Universe keeps this at the theme level with no lyric reproduction.
