You need to angle the drift so that your force goes tangential to the BB, not radial, in the counter clockwise direction.

Curse if you need to.
Your description relates to a bottom bracket lockring removal. The OP said the bike is a fixie so I believe his problem is the lockring on the rear hub. Also, if it is the hub lockring, is he aware it's left hand threaded.
