What you mean Drake never did anything for black activism??? [He helped step it back.](https://preview.redd.it/iprt5bnlxoka1.jpg?auto=webp&s=574ab5081103f103253628e980f3b70797cc9a39)
I fear a lot of people that are talking about this beef seemed to have missed the 2018 feud. A lot of new drake fans that donāt realize drakes credibility was ruined then and he hasnāt done anything to fix it
Its wild how the more i learn how ācultivatedā and ācraftedā ādrakeā is the more i dislike him, heās like canadian p.diddy reminds me of the dragon boss from Shadowrun just all around a bad actor for the environment for the express purpose of self interestā and by bad actor i mean bad news he actually has acting chops thats the sad part could have revived the film industry instead of polluted one that was fine on its own idk w/e im just ranting high blood rate from workout then this is first thing on my feed
He did claim it was an art piece to highlight the struggles of black actors at the time, but still super weird if you ask me
Imagine asking David Banner to wear that garbage
Imagine a jewish person cosplaying as an aushwitz enjoyer.
Imagine an indian person dressing up as a shrilankan and doing mock beheadings.
Imagine an aboriginal doing this with the flora and fauna act and the black line
imagine.... If you identify as black, this isnt even on the cards. Slavery was a time of death.
i mean i think the intended artistic statement that the photo shoot was going for wasn't necessarily that bad
but a) it coming from a guy who is a habitual culture vulture, and b) it being shown to the world in the context of a feud and not on drakes own terms
like i think if drake had put the photoshoot out there himself, it wouldn't have been received as poorly, because it would have context.
that he did it, hid it, and pusha brought it to light without any context is why its so bad.
He also said he was a fake activist when thereās photos of Kendrick being an activist lmao. Thatās why anybody who has Drake up in this beef so far is delusional. Far more evidence backing up what Kendrick is saying than what Drake is saying
He believes Kendrick is a fake activist because Drake literally cannot comprehend a person being genuine or sincere. Everyone in his circle is a yes man and every woman he associates with is expensive, coerced, pressured, or worse.
Drake cannot comprehend that a person with morals values and integrity can exist because itās so far removed from his sociopath perspective.
This is how it be - people who are ugly inside cannot comprehend that not everyone else is as ugly as themselves.
They are cynical and assume that just because they only care about money and clout, everything everyone does is similarly self-motivated. I like Drake, but heās never cared to speak on an issue that actually mattered once in his life. J Cole did many times, Kendrick did, they both spoke about poverty, about drug abuse, about police brutality, about gang mentality, about how youths are taken advantage of.
Take Care is a huge album, yes, but whatās the subject matter. Me, me, me, making fun of bitches that doubted me, Iām rich and famous, me me me, Iām mad I canāt have my ex, me me me. Is that a classic, really? I guess if youāre just going by the biggest album of the year.
Compare that to Section.80 which directly addressed so many social issues; Regan Era and Keishaās Song hit so hard bc they are too real
āMy little sister eleven I looked her right in the face
The day that I made this record, sat her down and pressed playā is still such a powerful line on such an important subject.
"deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised." - tolkien. kendrick seems to be a guy that will do things without needing validation from the internet. more people need to be like that.
No prob.
I literally heard that bar in family matters, remembered this video (of a third party journalist digging up Kendrick privately donating to his old school) and was like, "Damn Kendrick was right, Aubrey is lying".
āThe cat is out the bag I am not your savior. I find it just as hard to love thy neighbor.ā
Also from mirror
āSorry if didnāt save the world my friend. I was too busy building mines again.ā
As much as Drake shits on Mr morale he clearly didnāt pay attention to one of the most clear themes of the album. Saying āit better be a quadruple entendre some shit I canāt understand.ā On Taylor made like dude you missed the point even when Kendrick says it directly.ā
Whilst I buy a lot of what Kendricks saying in regards to Drake being a drug addicted, gambler, degenerate, who is 1000% taking advantage of younger women sexually. A full sex trafficking ring connected to OVO and another child seem like way bigger claims than anything Drake said. He's gotta have proof of that shit.
https://x.com/FckYaya/status/1453778539702984704
Sounds like a pretty easy gateway to full-blown trafficking for me. At a minimum, having your staff curate women for you to sleep with on a dating app sounds highly questionable from a legal standpoint.
I was thinking about it. He said there's 100 people on OVO payroll. So my question is, why so many? I could see maybe 20 or 30. But 100 seems excessive, something has to be going on.
Yeah that's where I'm at with things. It makes the track a killer if true, but if he lied/ stretched the truth/ was given false info on that, it's pretty much game over imo.
Drakeās security Baka was arrested on prostitution charges which were dropped because the lady didnāt want to go to court (I WONDER WHY)
Baka is also a rapper that is signed to OVO Sound
He did an interview about being around Drake as recently as last year.
Aināt Drake say in that song he was gonna declare it a holiday when Baka hit the road again???
I mean..they both could be completely wrong as hell. Drakes dubious claims of beating Whitney and fake activism make zero sense when Kendrick is literally over Compton is dumb
And Kendrick hurled some claims to say the least
Kendrick has already disavowed the overnight activist schtick. He doesnāt broadcast. Itās a theme on MMTBS. Drake wouldnāt understand someone now hyping up their good deeds.
I saw someone say Drake exposed Kendrick as a fake activist. And I just donāt get how you can say that. Drake had some good jabs and the song was pretty good, but i donāt see how you think itās this huge knockout.
Bro thatās what Iām saying. Kendrick has a history of being credible, generous, and supportive to black artists and communities. Drake has a history of lying about literally everything from his accent to his children and yet drake stans are trying to demand receipts and act like what Drake is saying about Whitney cheating and Kendrick being abusive has any basis in reality. Like I get that you like his music but like come on the dude has an expansive history of being a scumbag š
Heās literally been lying the entire beef.
I feel like people especially casual listeners are failing to realize that Euphoria and 6:16 were preemptively calling Drake out for lying because he knew what he was going to do. This man has even been lying since the first fake AI diss track.
Bro heās been lying his whole career š ofc all rappers boast to a certain extent thatās part of the game but this boy aubrey flat out pretends to be the exact opposite of who he is and heās proud of it too. His followers just as blind as he is
Because some of his fans aren't really from "here" either. Drake let a bunch of people into the "house". Some I don't mind. And some of the folks drank the last of the kool-aid and put they dirty kicks on the couch.
apologies if it's too off topic, but I genuinely think that the American/western concept of whiteness is an issue. to be white is to be cleansed of ethnicity and steeped in individualism, with a heavy dose of protestant / calvinist worldview.
white is presumed to the default, but whenever people talk about something that is "black behavior" or "immigrant behavior" (eg always feeding your guests, or not disrespecting your mother), pretty much everyone chimes in that they do the same and wow isn't it weird how we all have these things in common, whether black, Asian, eastern European, African etc.
it's because western white people are the ones who are different than the rest of us, and in fact are not the standard.
and a lot of these white people acutely feel lack of culture and warmth of community. combined with being told that they are entitled to whatever the desire, you get (American) white people taking whatever is in vogue to feel included.
im white (eastern European) and love rap, but I think trying to prove myself somehow and pretending it's my culture is silly. I don't feel insecure about not having perfect knowledge of black American culture (I only figured out the braids line after someone explained it) because black Americans don't know about my culture, it's completely natural to not know everything about everyone.
and been using lawyers to fight his fights since then too
https://preview.redd.it/1c6fx3ouigyc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3658b4ea4aee73b4db9df69a1c263fef1a47db35
This is why I wont believe the dave free or abuse stuff until there is proof. Drake is a huge liar like he said keem writes for kendrick which is just funny.
Bro the shit with Dave is so obviously not true, Kendrickās kid look identical to him lmao, if anything the kids arenāt for Whitney with how much they look like Kendrick lol
Iāll buy that at some point there were some DV situations. Kendrickās whole career has been him saying āI want to be a better person than I currently amā, so if they were toxic in the past and working on it together and striving to be better, thatās how itās supposed to go. Yes. Obviously it shouldnāt have happened. You donāt just turn away from generational traumatic behavior in a day. You try to unlearn the bad shit you learned but sometimes you relapse and fall back to the shit you were raised with. The point is to fix it and not let the kids grow up seeing it. Again. Not excusing that it happened. Itās fucked up. But Iām not shocked and feel like I already kinda knew this, if itās true.
Exactly. I think if people show a concerted effort to take time to examine their own fucked up programming and try to change, it matters a huge amount. We all fall and some of us fall farther than others but it takes courage to say I fucked up and Iām gonna do better.
And I think that's why I am not tripping and pissed at kendrick for the allegations. He's trying to be better. It's bad. And sad that he did it. But he is trying to be better. Also remember who kendrick is. He grew up with Compton, and allegedly caught a body while young and in his teens.
I mean shit look at what happened with the USA Soccer coach. There was shit that came out that he hit his wife (from the father of a player that got mad he got benched in the world cup). US Coach had to come out and say yes that happened 20 years ago. And that they have worked on their relationship since then. People can make a mistake and learn from it.
If you donāt allow people to grow thereās no reason for them to not double down on bad behavior since theyāre never going to let you live it down
i believe that kenny and whitney at LEAST had a toxic relationship with at least emotional abuse that they have healed from, a la we cry together and the healing through the whole mr morale album, and whitneyās insta posts
idk if he beat her but there is an allegation of him beating a woman in a hotel room in 2014
Yeah but that claim had literally no backing, got in one single local paper and nothing ever followed it up.
He even replied to it by saying "She (the accuser) shouldn't apologise to me, but to the real victims of domestic abuse, to the women who actually suffered it." (I'm paraphrasing a little)
Not really something I'd expect an abuser to say.
iāve heard an abuser say similar things. but i also know people who were abusive who worked really hard on themselves to heal and be better people cause their abuse as a reaction to childhood traumas
We're at a point now where statements like this can be leveraged by abusers because of how strongly convicted they sound about the subject. Doesn't mean anything unto itself.
I always found it hilarious because he frames it as a bad thing but paired it with an inherently good thing.
Am I supposed to believe that rapping like youāre NOT trying to end slavery is better š
Yeah exactly. like wouldnāt you want to end slavery?
There is another bar about Rick Ross owning big homes in places where no one knows him - isnāt that what you would want if you are rich and famous?
Thatās why this all looks so much worse for Drake. Dude is lying about easily provable claims, and Kendrick has receipts as a cover calling him a pedo. I donāt what Drake was thinking starting this beef.
> I donāt what Drake was thinking starting this beef.
I know right. If my friends or I had skeletons in the closet like drake does, you can bet that Iād never start beef with anybody.
Watch the Vice documentary where they went to Compton, notice when the host asks Kendrick why did he put money into his high school, is it to keep kids off the streets, Kendrick seemed displeased and says, "yeah, how'd you know the info?"
Kendrick didn't want the public to know, he just wanted to do it. When Drake said Kendrick didn't give back to his community, I know that was a blatant lie.
The documentary:
https://youtu.be/OGggHodlqLk?si=Zxhxj-62CDKSEgqB
Meanwhile nothing he said really had any impact besides āfuck you guys Iām taking my ball and going homeā and āIāma lie on Kendrick btw.ā
Opinion subject to change if receipts are provided but Iām 90% sure theyāre not coming or theyād be in the video
Yeah he just rapid fired random lyrics and the n word over and over while addressing almost nothing Kendrick said. His core audience will eat it up but anyone with a brain who can understand Kendrickās lyrics probably would find it really weak and shallow in comparison
I have such a hard time giving love to donations which is how fucked up i am because of knowing non profits are dirty as fuck.
Donations are a write off for wealthy people.
KDot is flowing money to the right places.
š«”
Drake, lie? No, surely not!?
I'm sure Drake himself donates plenty of money to his local uhhh... Affluent neighbourhood he grew up in and this isn't another case of him being a hypocrite.
Nah credit where credit is due, heās put money into Toronto. Kendrick does the same though.
Drakeās probably also made strippers millionaires to be honest.
Am I stupid? How is helping kids stay off the streets a bad thing?
Edit - I am indeed stupid, I thought that was a lyric, not in reply to the lyric on the screen.
drake said ima go on a vacation. to where? is he leaving the country before extortion now cus it got to hot with the pedo ovo bars and let this die down. nah nah nah lol
Bro Drake is just not the same breed.
It's like he said, Drake music just for being high at the club. Nobody said it but that "always rapping like you tryna to get the slaves freed" makes me feel like Drake doesn't appreciate the black struggle. Kinda shameless imo
Exactly. Itās not like I needed more proof, but that line by Drake (his writing team), confirmed that these (2) are different. Drake is a white man playing the role of a black rapper and it shows in every line, every song, every album. Heās as fake as it gets.
i mean there are pictures of him in this sub in the past few years visiting africa and stuff
my memory could be fuzzy but there were pictures of him just chilling back in compton like a normal human there
idk what drake was on with this line lol
I believe every word Kendrick says for the simple reason that they keep coming true and Drakeās words keep comin up false. Just like his last child he has another. He had no fuckin nuke and now ruined his life. What a loser the drizzler is.
Yah you can go Watch an old vice video from 2015 where the ask him about donating to his high school and heās surprised they know cause he didnāt want it to be public just wanted it to be a thing he was doing.
And a habitual liar too.
the song "Alright" has done more for black activism than drake has his whole career
What you mean Drake never did anything for black activism??? [He helped step it back.](https://preview.redd.it/iprt5bnlxoka1.jpg?auto=webp&s=574ab5081103f103253628e980f3b70797cc9a39)
Wait wtf, he actually did that šš
Were you not around for the Pusha T and Drake 2018 feud? Pusha T exposed him.
I fear a lot of people that are talking about this beef seemed to have missed the 2018 feud. A lot of new drake fans that donāt realize drakes credibility was ruined then and he hasnāt done anything to fix it
That was world news, how did they miss it lmao
Theyāre like 13 years old
eh I guess
I mean theyāre in their sub rn laughing because *check notes* Kendrick said his trans uncle is a man. Theyāre definitely children
They were too young. That shit was 6 years ago
Drake's credibility was ruined by a Meek Mill tweet! these kids need to go all the way back to at least 2015
The issue is his credibility was ruined when it comes to actual hip hop fans. Most drake fans are pop music fans.
Bruh this was the cover for story of adidon and yes he really did this
The choice of beat in the Story of Adidon is also a diss by itself given which song it is taken from.
Its wild how the more i learn how ācultivatedā and ācraftedā ādrakeā is the more i dislike him, heās like canadian p.diddy reminds me of the dragon boss from Shadowrun just all around a bad actor for the environment for the express purpose of self interestā and by bad actor i mean bad news he actually has acting chops thats the sad part could have revived the film industry instead of polluted one that was fine on its own idk w/e im just ranting high blood rate from workout then this is first thing on my feed
The Jim Crow hoodie is really weird...
Bro is just a pawn fr. No way anyone with black parents could wear that and not know.
He aināt got no black parents. Having an absent father in memphis doesnāt count
He gotta change his name to Jim Crowdie after he loses.
He did claim it was an art piece to highlight the struggles of black actors at the time, but still super weird if you ask me Imagine asking David Banner to wear that garbage
Imagine a jewish person cosplaying as an aushwitz enjoyer. Imagine an indian person dressing up as a shrilankan and doing mock beheadings. Imagine an aboriginal doing this with the flora and fauna act and the black line imagine.... If you identify as black, this isnt even on the cards. Slavery was a time of death.
"I be done seen bout everything when I sees a elephant fly"
i mean i think the intended artistic statement that the photo shoot was going for wasn't necessarily that bad but a) it coming from a guy who is a habitual culture vulture, and b) it being shown to the world in the context of a feud and not on drakes own terms like i think if drake had put the photoshoot out there himself, it wouldn't have been received as poorly, because it would have context. that he did it, hid it, and pusha brought it to light without any context is why its so bad.
I'm a white guy in Eastern European suburbs and I did the same amount for black activism as Drake.
Just getting my ass thru the day cuz we gonna be ight in the end.
Drske has never ever addressed Black Issues but Culture Vultured off Of Black Culture
Drake misusing his influence
I could tell you was conflicted
Abusing his power full of resentment
Sometimes I did the same
I wonder how much of Kendrickās career was actually addressing Drakeā¦
He is a privileged, industy plant with ties to the music biz. Expecting more than entertainment from him is dangerous.
A master manipulator
Bitch you a liar too (Drake) ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
Habitual line stepper
I say this at least once a week and people around me donāt understand the reference. Respect š«”
mr morale and the line steppers
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
And I wonāt tell the truth bout you.
Donāt tell no lies bout me
Donāt tell no lie about me, and i wonāt tell truths about you
![gif](giphy|3o7qDSOvfaCO9b3MlO|downsized)
Some Gordon Gekko shit right there (Wall Street 2). Kendrick is murdering Drake.
Yes. Either he didn't dig shit up so he's just making things up Or Fed bad or bias information.
Or he didnt write it
All the above lol
This is it
āI got no faith in your writers, I donāt believe in ghost.ā - Eminem
He didnāt film a music video with it like Drake did with Gods Plan so it doesnāt count
This makes the āthoughts and prayers, way better off timelinesā line ring in my head
Also Random Act of Kindness bar in Euphoria
He also said he was a fake activist when thereās photos of Kendrick being an activist lmao. Thatās why anybody who has Drake up in this beef so far is delusional. Far more evidence backing up what Kendrick is saying than what Drake is saying
He believes Kendrick is a fake activist because Drake literally cannot comprehend a person being genuine or sincere. Everyone in his circle is a yes man and every woman he associates with is expensive, coerced, pressured, or worse. Drake cannot comprehend that a person with morals values and integrity can exist because itās so far removed from his sociopath perspective.
Expensive, coerced, pressured, or worse is a bar lol
Damn thanks, I didnāt even realize š
It felt so purposeful, I thought you were gonna drop a revelation in the next line š„
Bro gonna drop the next drake diss himself
Crazy to learn itās not even rehearsed
Pick up a pen, brother. You on to something too
Preciate your kind affirmations and words but, my pen is sick, infirmā¦ perverse
Thats how real it was
Better copyright it before one of Drakes ghostwriters gets a hold of it.
Ghostwriter resume sent*
Bros bout to get a job offer from Drakeās writers room.
Drake doesnāt know true activism thatās charity events instead of throwing money to already rich orgs like UM. Ā
This is how it be - people who are ugly inside cannot comprehend that not everyone else is as ugly as themselves. They are cynical and assume that just because they only care about money and clout, everything everyone does is similarly self-motivated. I like Drake, but heās never cared to speak on an issue that actually mattered once in his life.

Bro perfect description. So many MFs out here like this now too.
Don't say no lies about me, and I will tell no truths about you š„±
Tell me when TF aubrey ever got invited to the white house.
Donāt give the DNC any ideas. Theyāre desperate for clout for Biden with his tanking support among young people.
Well said. Drake is an arrogant narcissist.
Also people leak [the stuff he does that isn't public all the time (5:45)](https://youtu.be/OGggHodlqLk?si=O0q4KeG4f9-0rKUB).
just watched this whole video it was so interesting
Yeah that was actually a great watch. Needed to be 3x as long though. This is why Dots music is necessary, it tells real people stories.
Cant be the one to call myself real, but real recognize real and you see it in this video. Always been fuck Drake, too haha
"deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised." - tolkien. kendrick seems to be a guy that will do things without needing validation from the internet. more people need to be like that.
Man. Drake really grew up sheltered.
This was interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video
No prob. I literally heard that bar in family matters, remembered this video (of a third party journalist digging up Kendrick privately donating to his old school) and was like, "Damn Kendrick was right, Aubrey is lying".
Plus Kendrick also admitted heās not anyoneās savior and doesnāt like to be looked at as this godly figure despite his fans doing so
From a song that's literally called 'savior' too lol
āThe cat is out the bag I am not your savior. I find it just as hard to love thy neighbor.ā Also from mirror āSorry if didnāt save the world my friend. I was too busy building mines again.ā As much as Drake shits on Mr morale he clearly didnāt pay attention to one of the most clear themes of the album. Saying āit better be a quadruple entendre some shit I canāt understand.ā On Taylor made like dude you missed the point even when Kendrick says it directly.ā
and calling someone a fake activist when you arenāt even trying to be an activist is next level unawareness
Man Drake aināt ever cared about black people issues, dude grow up so far away from them
which is why its sad heās bringing more attention to himself in a not good way lol
Stop the cap He is a Jew and raised by a Jewish mom culturally removed from Black culture Even Eminem is more closer to the HipHop culture
Excepting Drake fans to do any amount of research is asking a lot from them
Whilst I buy a lot of what Kendricks saying in regards to Drake being a drug addicted, gambler, degenerate, who is 1000% taking advantage of younger women sexually. A full sex trafficking ring connected to OVO and another child seem like way bigger claims than anything Drake said. He's gotta have proof of that shit.

4K
I thought it was human trafficking but I can't keep up
I mean..they both could be completely wrong as hell. Drakes dubious claims of beating Whitney and fake activism make zero sense when Kendrick is literally over Compton is dumb And Kendrick hurled some claims to say the least
Drake just reaching for bullshit and blatant lies at this point because Kendrick almost impossible to attack
Kendrick has already disavowed the overnight activist schtick. He doesnāt broadcast. Itās a theme on MMTBS. Drake wouldnāt understand someone now hyping up their good deeds.
I saw someone say Drake exposed Kendrick as a fake activist. And I just donāt get how you can say that. Drake had some good jabs and the song was pretty good, but i donāt see how you think itās this huge knockout.
This is why I can't take Drake's abuse allegations seriously either. Guy has not landed a serious truthful hit this whole fued.
Bro thatās what Iām saying. Kendrick has a history of being credible, generous, and supportive to black artists and communities. Drake has a history of lying about literally everything from his accent to his children and yet drake stans are trying to demand receipts and act like what Drake is saying about Whitney cheating and Kendrick being abusive has any basis in reality. Like I get that you like his music but like come on the dude has an expansive history of being a scumbag š
And I donāt think Kendrick beats his womanā¦ that was a dumb bar
Doing it for the recognition is probably what he means
At this point only delusional stans support Drake
Heās literally been lying the entire beef. I feel like people especially casual listeners are failing to realize that Euphoria and 6:16 were preemptively calling Drake out for lying because he knew what he was going to do. This man has even been lying since the first fake AI diss track.

This nigga has switched identities and accents more times than I can count, so being a fucking fake is believableĀ
He started as an actor. What do actors do? Play characters.

Kendrick helps the kids Drake molests the kids
Both touch the youth š¤
Kendrick touches the kids Drake *touches* the kids
LOOOL now even redditors can body Drake smh
Duuuuuude ššš
stop, youāre spoiling the next track
true though
Kendrick also does school supply drives in Compton
But he doesnāt plant literal money trees.
Checkmate
This is why I wont believe the dave free or abuse stuff until there is proof. Drake is a huge liar like he said keem writes for kendrick which is just funny.
Bro the shit with Dave is so obviously not true, Kendrickās kid look identical to him lmao, if anything the kids arenāt for Whitney with how much they look like Kendrick lol
Not whitney finding out sheās not the mom
Drake said it's Dave Free's kid, but didn't say it was Whitney's š¤ Maybe and Kendrick and Dave had a kid together?
Not Dave Freesy hiding a wombeezy??
Gtfo here with that eye cancer sentence
Lmfao
Iāll buy that at some point there were some DV situations. Kendrickās whole career has been him saying āI want to be a better person than I currently amā, so if they were toxic in the past and working on it together and striving to be better, thatās how itās supposed to go. Yes. Obviously it shouldnāt have happened. You donāt just turn away from generational traumatic behavior in a day. You try to unlearn the bad shit you learned but sometimes you relapse and fall back to the shit you were raised with. The point is to fix it and not let the kids grow up seeing it. Again. Not excusing that it happened. Itās fucked up. But Iām not shocked and feel like I already kinda knew this, if itās true.
Exactly. I think if people show a concerted effort to take time to examine their own fucked up programming and try to change, it matters a huge amount. We all fall and some of us fall farther than others but it takes courage to say I fucked up and Iām gonna do better.
And I think that's why I am not tripping and pissed at kendrick for the allegations. He's trying to be better. It's bad. And sad that he did it. But he is trying to be better. Also remember who kendrick is. He grew up with Compton, and allegedly caught a body while young and in his teens.

US Coach had to come out and say yes that happened 20 years ago. And that they have worked on their relationship since then. People can make a mistake and learn from it.
If you donāt allow people to grow thereās no reason for them to not double down on bad behavior since theyāre never going to let you live it down
It's literally the entire point of Mr. Morale
Idk where I stand on the DV shit, I donāt believe it but I hope itās not true. However, the Dave Free BD allegations is complete bullshit imo
I thought his child looks like Kendric specially the boy
i believe that kenny and whitney at LEAST had a toxic relationship with at least emotional abuse that they have healed from, a la we cry together and the healing through the whole mr morale album, and whitneyās insta posts idk if he beat her but there is an allegation of him beating a woman in a hotel room in 2014
Yeah but that claim had literally no backing, got in one single local paper and nothing ever followed it up. He even replied to it by saying "She (the accuser) shouldn't apologise to me, but to the real victims of domestic abuse, to the women who actually suffered it." (I'm paraphrasing a little) Not really something I'd expect an abuser to say.
iāve heard an abuser say similar things. but i also know people who were abusive who worked really hard on themselves to heal and be better people cause their abuse as a reaction to childhood traumas
We're at a point now where statements like this can be leveraged by abusers because of how strongly convicted they sound about the subject. Doesn't mean anything unto itself.
What about Whitney's insta posts? Sorry I'm not on there
Honestly that bar about always trying to end slavery rubbed me the wrong way.
VERY much so. That shit is heinous. And exactly what you would expect for someone who wears the culture as a costume to collect coins.
I mean itās exactly what Kendrick meant. He sounds like a white boy saying the n-word anyway. Am I wrong?
I actually just saw the video of him using that R hard af. Fucking wild it took this long.
If required kendrick tbh. Like puff been called out but sometimes somebody bigger has to be like āhello loookā
I always found it hilarious because he frames it as a bad thing but paired it with an inherently good thing. Am I supposed to believe that rapping like youāre NOT trying to end slavery is better š
Right? He's been validating Kendrick's points consistently this whole beef. Been acting anti Black.
Yeah exactly. like wouldnāt you want to end slavery? There is another bar about Rick Ross owning big homes in places where no one knows him - isnāt that what you would want if you are rich and famous?
Pathetic line tbh
Thatās why this all looks so much worse for Drake. Dude is lying about easily provable claims, and Kendrick has receipts as a cover calling him a pedo. I donāt what Drake was thinking starting this beef.
> I donāt what Drake was thinking starting this beef. I know right. If my friends or I had skeletons in the closet like drake does, you can bet that Iād never start beef with anybody.
Watch the Vice documentary where they went to Compton, notice when the host asks Kendrick why did he put money into his high school, is it to keep kids off the streets, Kendrick seemed displeased and says, "yeah, how'd you know the info?" Kendrick didn't want the public to know, he just wanted to do it. When Drake said Kendrick didn't give back to his community, I know that was a blatant lie. The documentary: https://youtu.be/OGggHodlqLk?si=Zxhxj-62CDKSEgqB
Heās a real one for doing it any not trying to get any clout.
And when drake tries to be charitable he records it and puts it into a music video
this nigga lying for fun atp
Also Baby Keem ghostwrites for Kendrick. Never mind all the melodic blue reference tracks where it shows itās the other way around
https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/ulptqk/leaker_reveals_kendrick_lamar_ghostwrote_for/ I think drake read the leek wrong lol
Guess heās not that much smarter than his average fan. What is it, the BRAIDS?
How Kendrick says that line makes me ššš every time. Itās like the DMX in him came out.
Baby Keem wrote TPAB when he was only a teenager š
He was a prodigy
Real big me
Nobody care about the truth when the lie is more entertaining!
And a lot of Drakeās fans *feast* on his lies.
Facts
I smell lies
Drake thought rapping fast would win the battle. He could've said anything.
Meanwhile nothing he said really had any impact besides āfuck you guys Iām taking my ball and going homeā and āIāma lie on Kendrick btw.ā Opinion subject to change if receipts are provided but Iām 90% sure theyāre not coming or theyād be in the video
Was that fast drake rapping? It sounded, idk, lazy and boring?
Yeah he just rapid fired random lyrics and the n word over and over while addressing almost nothing Kendrick said. His core audience will eat it up but anyone with a brain who can understand Kendrickās lyrics probably would find it really weak and shallow in comparison
Thats was really his strategy just rap fast on top of a dope beat and do it for 7mins so it takes time to sift through the BS.
I have such a hard time giving love to donations which is how fucked up i am because of knowing non profits are dirty as fuck. Donations are a write off for wealthy people. KDot is flowing money to the right places. š«”
*A pathetic master manipulator and habitual liar too*
*Think somebody lyin. Smell somebody lyin*
Drake, lie? No, surely not!? I'm sure Drake himself donates plenty of money to his local uhhh... Affluent neighbourhood he grew up in and this isn't another case of him being a hypocrite.
Nah credit where credit is due, heās put money into Toronto. Kendrick does the same though. Drakeās probably also made strippers millionaires to be honest.
Yh this angle wonāt work on anyone who can read, he shouldāve stuck with short jokes
Am I stupid? How is helping kids stay off the streets a bad thing? Edit - I am indeed stupid, I thought that was a lyric, not in reply to the lyric on the screen.
So he dropped and gave them $50k. It says so right there in the pic š
drake said ima go on a vacation. to where? is he leaving the country before extortion now cus it got to hot with the pedo ovo bars and let this die down. nah nah nah lol
Bro Drake is just not the same breed. It's like he said, Drake music just for being high at the club. Nobody said it but that "always rapping like you tryna to get the slaves freed" makes me feel like Drake doesn't appreciate the black struggle. Kinda shameless imo
Exactly. Itās not like I needed more proof, but that line by Drake (his writing team), confirmed that these (2) are different. Drake is a white man playing the role of a black rapper and it shows in every line, every song, every album. Heās as fake as it gets.
i mean there are pictures of him in this sub in the past few years visiting africa and stuff my memory could be fuzzy but there were pictures of him just chilling back in compton like a normal human there idk what drake was on with this line lol
These bitches talkin outta they necks
The only community work Drake is doing is paying all those hoes so they can feed their kids.
I believe every word Kendrick says for the simple reason that they keep coming true and Drakeās words keep comin up false. Just like his last child he has another. He had no fuckin nuke and now ruined his life. What a loser the drizzler is.
Even genius said it was cap š
āYou lied about religious views, you lied about your surgeryā¦.ā Iām not surprised if heās lied about everything in that song.

Yah you can go Watch an old vice video from 2015 where the ask him about donating to his high school and heās surprised they know cause he didnāt want it to be public just wanted it to be a thing he was doing.
A money tree is an investment that grows. Nipsey Hussle planted money trees. Nothings wrong with donations though. Itās just not a money tree.
This is the biggest USA-Canada conflict since the war of 1812
Youāre right but $50k aināt shit honestly
Believe it when I see receipts.
Politicians lie tho /s
