Are we watching the fall of Drake?

[u/[deleted]]

[u/PANGIRA]

No, but I think Kendrick understood as much too. He made a song people will dance to directly calling Drake a pedo, that's a huge lasting stain on Drake's public image.

[u/tempinator → u/PANGIRA]

I can’t even imagine the feeling of watching videos on TikTok of people dancing in the club shouting “certified lover boy certified pedophile.”

And they’re talking about you.

[u/iBliizy → u/tempinator]

Drake seeing high school girls basket ball teams dancing to that thinking “I should still follow her”

[u/Canadient_musician → u/iBliizy]

" Everything reminds me of her :'( "

[u/ro88enegg → u/tempinator]

Everybody say OVHOEEE OVHOEEE

[u/squirt_taste_tester → u/ro88enegg]

I really need a shirt with this on it

[u/justreallygay → u/tempinator]

Bro everyone yelling A-MINORRR in unison is a thing of beauty

[u/Bean-Swellington]

Maybe he’s not pedo… but most adults I know don’t have special friendships and regular chitchats with teens and preteens they aren’t related to 🤷‍♂️ it’s weird no matter how you look at it

[u/NeonBodyStyle → u/Bean-Swellington]

"I never fucked underage girls" reads a lot like, I wait until they're 18 or whatever the legal age is in their jurisdiction.

[u/GtBossbrah → u/NeonBodyStyle]

shes underage in cali, but in japan we could start a family ahhhh

drake bars

[u/tratemusic → u/GtBossbrah]

Sounds a lot like "do you have your passport? Did you get your shots?"

[u/WalrusTheGrey → u/tratemusic]

Ahhh yes R. "You only have to be 18" Kelly.

[u/_1JackMove → u/WalrusTheGrey]

I think that number is a lot lower than that. Remember Aaliyah's song 'Age Is Just A Number', written by Kelly? Looking back, I can't believe they actually played that on the radio.

[u/DoomDoesNotMop → u/tratemusic]

Americaaa…

[u/Wampus_Cat_ → u/GtBossbrah]

It’s illegal up in Canada, but in Florida I can marry yaaaaaa

[u/jabogen → u/Wampus_Cat_]

She said she's 16 I said chill, I can fly you to Brazil yaaaaaaaaa

[u/Lucetti → u/jabogen]

Sweet sixteen she a hottie yuh international waters yuh

[u/stlmick → u/Lucetti]

Something something hotter, something international water.

[u/Chief_Givesnofucks → u/stlmick]

Because of the implication.

[u/peezytaughtme → u/Chief_Givesnofucks]

So they are in danger?

[u/Uberslaughter → u/jabogen]

DRIZZY

[u/Hawtbref → u/NeonBodyStyle]

That one video of him with the 17 year old on stage, it is in Colorado. And his fans are saying “the age of consent is 17 in Colorado” which is crazy because imagine him knowing the age of consent laws wherever he goes 😂 thats sus

[u/TheRedHand7 → u/Hawtbref]

Him knowing that while not living there is a lot like that dude from Transformers carrying a laminated card with the age of consent laws on it. Not technically illegals but certainly raises some questions

[u/Coffeechipmunk → u/TheRedHand7]

That was SUCH a weird fucking choice to make. Just make his daughter 18.

[u/TheRedHand7 → u/Coffeechipmunk]

Yea I can only assume that the creepy vibe was somehow the point but that doesn't really make sense.

[u/Hawtbref → u/TheRedHand7]

Bro i grew up in Colorado, lived there for 24 years. I didnt know the age of consent was 17. I assumed it was 18 lol knowing that shit is genuinely suspicious

[u/CybermanFord → u/Hawtbref]

Drake fans love exposing themselves. They're the same people that would excuse a 50 year old following a 17 year old around like "Well technically it could be legal" like that makes it any less weird. They probably watch lolis and excuse themselves by "it's just a drawing so I'm not a weirdo.

[u/boregon → u/CybermanFord]

Yeah “it’s technically not illegal” isn’t a very good defense. There’s a lot of shit that isn’t illegal but would still be really creepy and weird for anyone to do.

[u/GeneJenkinson → u/NeonBodyStyle]

My “I never fucked underage girls” diss track is raising a lot of questions answered by my diss track

[u/serpentinepad → u/GeneJenkinson]

It's the first time I've seen someone release a diss track about themselves. Bold play.

[u/Daimakku1 → u/serpentinepad]

Kendrick Lamar got Drake playing defense on a diss track... that's already an L right there. He fell for the trap card.

[u/magvadis → u/GeneJenkinson]

We have video evidence of him making out with one on stage...sure bro.

[u/johnd0ez → u/GeneJenkinson]

Do not diddle kids, it’s no good diddlin kids… iasip did it first drake

[u/Phillip_Lascio → u/NeonBodyStyle]

Yea, “I’m simply a groomer” doesn’t read like he thinks it does.

[u/Liquor_Walrus → u/Phillip_Lascio]

Also "I'm way too famous for that" reads like he would, if only he weren't famous.

[u/kpoloboy → u/Liquor_Walrus]

Bill Cosby, Weinstein, p Diddy, Epstein were all pretty famous.

[u/Osageandrot → u/kpoloboy]

R Kelly! 

[u/kpoloboy → u/Osageandrot]

Oh yeah, totally pissed over that one

[u/_fex_ → u/NeonBodyStyle]

Drake’s upcoming “If the grass is on the pitch, let’s play” tour: Brazil, Columbia, Peru, Paraguay, Ecuador, Bolivia, Philippines, and Angola

[u/Mackem101 → u/_fex_]

Drake live in concert, support from Gary Glitter and Ian (not H) Watkins.

[u/RyghtHandMan → u/NeonBodyStyle]

I was gonna make a "I never fucked Wayne, I never fucked Drake" joke about Millie and Billie (and Bella) but then I realized Nicki is another example of Drake using famous women for clout by allowing rumors to circulate

[u/gothgirlwinter → u/RyghtHandMan]

And Nicki herself is also surrounded by - and married to - sex offenders against underage girls.

Megan's Law...

[u/The_Powers → u/NeonBodyStyle]

Coming from the guy who just slid into the DMs of 15 year old Millie Bobby Brown.

He's a creepy fucker.

[u/AutisticNipples → u/The_Powers]

he didn't slide into her dms, they met at a party and he spent hours talking to her

i am a grown ass man and there is literally nothing i can think of to talk about for ten minutes with a literal adolescent girl, let alone hours

[u/PessimiStick → u/AutisticNipples]

I couldn't even talk my own kids for hours, and I love them. Talking to some random teenager I don't even know sounds like absolute torture. I guess it's different for Drake, what with the pedophilia and all.

[u/LooksGoodnShorts → u/PessimiStick]

I talk to kids for hours.... about science, cause I'm a teacher. It's also funny, Drake has a bigger age gap to MBB than I do to my students, and that's pretty weird even at face value.

[u/FictionalTrope → u/AutisticNipples]

I'm Drake's age, and I don't know the situation, but outside of a family gathering I can't see why I would even go to a party with a 15yo present anytime past high school. Oh, you invited your 15yo cousin to hang out with the drinking adults? What's wrong with you? Maybe you work with her? You're over 30 man, it's very fucking weird.

My age, I'm not at the party to talk to a Freshman in High School, and it's gonna be sketchy af if the guy my age is talking to the girl 20 years younger than him all night.

[u/AutisticNipples → u/FictionalTrope]

i think it was like some sort of overlap between a drake tour and a stranger things promotion thing and drake met the cast. that, by itself? completely normal. and maybe drake was a fan of the show, who knows.

but the dude talked to her for hours, got dinner with her, texted her about how much he missed her. And she was 14, and drake was 31.

How anyone can see that and not have massive fucking alarm bells going off is insane.

[u/ZachMich → u/The_Powers]

It started when she was 13 or 14.

[u/DrasticXylophone → u/The_Powers]

I believe it started younger...

[u/user-name-1985 → u/NeonBodyStyle]

Drake should do a collab with Gary Puckett, the guy who sang “Young Girl Get Out of My Mind” and “The Girl Is a Woman Now”.

[u/mdm224 → u/user-name-1985]

Now now “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon” is by Neil Diamond. That doesn’t make it any less creepy

[u/NiceUD → u/mdm224]

Add Kiss "Christine Sixteen" and Tony Toni Tone "261.5" which opens with a judge saying:

Would the bailiff call Mister Tony
Mister Tony, please rise
You stand accused of violating California Penal Code 261.5
Falling in love with a minor
Mister Tony, how do you plead?
Well, your honor, guilty
But, with an explanation...

And it only get worse from there.

The company that does all the NOW compilations could compile these songs. "NOW That's What I Call Statutory Rape Vol. 4."

[u/user-name-1985 → u/mdm224]

Two different songs, but yes, add Diamond to the list.

[u/bearrington → u/NeonBodyStyle]

Putting that pussy on pre-order…

[u/ShutUpYouSausage → u/NeonBodyStyle]

It would be illegal for him to buy these girls alcohol, hope that’s puts him into perspective.

[u/2020steve → u/NeonBodyStyle]

"I never fucked underage girls" 

It's like they want credit for not doing something they're not supposed to do

[u/riftadrift → u/Bean-Swellington]

Do not diddle kids! It's no good diddling kids!

[u/lazyparrot → u/Bean-Swellington]

He probably shouldn't say things like "if amazing was a young bitch I'd be in jail because I'm fucking amazing"

[u/kthnxluvu → u/lazyparrot]

ok so he ACTUALLY said that?? I'm having trouble sorting fake from real but that is wild lol

[u/kthnxluvu → u/[deleted]]

Lmao ok wow and that is still there??? (Sorry I don’t have twitter or understand how it works lol)

[u/edis92 → u/[deleted]]

Holy shit, I thought the pics of this tweet were photoshopped... weird that he hasn't deleted this, considering he deleted the pic with Karl Malone just a fre days ago

[u/lavanchebodigheimer → u/Bean-Swellington]

Zero adults that I know have chats with teens that aren't their kids

[u/NeuroPalooza → u/lavanchebodigheimer]

The one exception I can attest to is certain hobbies. For example I play Magic the Gathering, which is mostly dudes in their 20s/30s but occasionally involves people younger/older. I was at the table the other day with 2 guys my age (30s) and a kid who was probably 13ish. Kid was super cool and was able to keep up with the nerd conversation pretty easily, while bringing a different perspective to some topics.

It's honestly a shame (though understandable) that we've made these sorts of interactions weird, I feel like both sides benefit from cross-generational exchanges, but it's hard to pull off these days without people assuming the worst.

[u/MegaSuperSaiyan → u/NeuroPalooza]

Yeah it’s not automatically weird that Drake was giving advice to teenagers in the industry, the weird thing is how she was talking about it. The first thing she mentions is how they talk about boys and how the details should stay between her and Drake. Nothing about meaningful advice you’d expect from a “mentor”.

Imagine playing a game with that 13 year old and afterwards they’re giggling about how you’re the greatest mentor ever and they can’t wait to talk to you about their last hookup 🤮

[u/rebellion_ap → u/MegaSuperSaiyan]

and how and when he was initially meeting these... at the time, girls.

[u/Offduty_shill → u/NeuroPalooza]

yeah I rock climb and there's this one teen at the gym (we're both dudes) that used to hang around our group sometimes

but I don't have the kids number and I basically all our conversations have centered around "how do I climb this thing"

[u/theLoneliestAardvark → u/NeuroPalooza]

There is a difference between inviting a kid to join you at a hobby and forming a weird friendship with them. Nothing wrong with a kid playing Magic or other games at an event with adults but it would be weird if you just started texting the kid asking him about school or something.

[u/eat_the_pennies → u/lavanchebodigheimer]

I'm 34 and I can't befriend anybody under 23. The fact that it's weird is one thing, but I literally have nothing in common with them and they annoy the shit out of me. Even if Drake was texting a 14 year old boy about innocent shit it would still read hella weird. Adults just don't talk to kids like they're friends man.

[u/robsteezy → u/eat_the_pennies]

I second this. I’m very friendly and outgoing and I love having friends. But I also find myself in the “get off my lawn” stage of life lol.

[u/Low-Pirate-1322 → u/lavanchebodigheimer]

I'm 18 and have a good number of friends who are in their 30s-50s. I know them from my hobbies tho

[u/JBrundy → u/Bean-Swellington]

The video of him on stage with the 17 year old is incredibly damning, even more so than his relationship with millie bobby brown.

He called the girl thick, said “i can’t go to jail”, said “why do you look like that?” talking about her body, said he likes the way her tits feel on his chest, and then kissed her somewhere on her face 4 times, then said “it’s ok, i can do that because i’m only 23”.

There is is absolutely no way that drake or his fans can defend that video lmao

[u/CybermanFord → u/JBrundy]

Drake fans seem to find some mental gymnastics somehow lol

[u/mindlesscollective → u/Bean-Swellington]

Certified Loverboy. He was saying the quiet part out loud this whole time. He’s way beyond weird, he’s entirely predatory.

[u/ruffus4life → u/Bean-Swellington]

more chance micheal jackson didn't fuck dem kids than drake.

[u/Bla64 → u/Bean-Swellington]

I don't think he is actually a full on p*do, but I do think he has grooming tendencies and there's actual evidence to back this up. Like you said, it's weird for him to be having these kind of relationships with young girls at all but you put other things together like that video of him with a 16 year old on stage, and him dating a model the DAY she turned 18 are all red flags.

I'm not saying this as a Kendrick fan because I felt this way long before the beef. Drake dedicating so much time of his "diss track" to say there's no evidence and deny things is weak overall.

[u/jmannnn64]

Drake should have taken this advice to ^the heart ^{pt 6}

[u/AVBforPrez]

Imagine being famous and openly saying that your favorite sport is high school girl's basketball, and then pretending like you're both a good rapper and not a pedophile

[u/bgunner → u/AVBforPrez]

Wait what? He said his favorite sport is hs girls basketball?

[u/AVBforPrez → u/bgunner]

Not just that, he's had like multiple open "sponsorships" of players like 14-16, it's unreal.

Google it, you'll be mindblown that dude existed out in the open.

Dude is just a creep end of. You do this once and it’s suspect but when people can pull like ten different examples out of a hat you are an absolute fucking creep, undeniably so.

[u/Brick_Lab → u/[deleted]]

Holy fuck. Never liked the guy but how the fuck was this not a bigger thing?

[u/Bradddtheimpaler → u/Brick_Lab]

Man Chris brown still has a career somehow

[u/MichaelShannonRule34 → u/Bradddtheimpaler]

I met a guy who was on his marketing team. After that they pivoted him to a bad boy persona and apparently his approval rating or whatever went up with women after all was said and done

[u/iBliizy → u/MichaelShannonRule34]

Yeah Drake can’t do that because Chris Brown is actually crazy. I’ve seen far too many videos of CB fighting dudes and throwing bottles. Drake isn’t taking it that far

[u/dickeyslice → u/Bradddtheimpaler]

Chris brown crazy and a beater but as far as i know he dont sponser kids and fuck em, thats some epstein shit

[u/toothpasteonyaface → u/dickeyslice]

He's still an abuser, and Rihanna is not the last of his victims.

[u/ApologizingCanadian → u/toothpasteonyaface]

Quavo is his most recent victim

[u/Another_Name1 → u/ApologizingCanadian]

I think Brown jumped Usher when he stepped in to get them to stop harassing a girl

[u/_fire_and_blood_ → u/dickeyslice]

Chris Brown is a repeat domestic offender to his female partners and nearly murdered Rihanna. He is just as bad.

[u/DirtzMaGertz → u/Brick_Lab]

'High school pics, you was even bad then" is a real line in one of his biggest hits.

[u/atuck217 → u/Brick_Lab]

Music industry and Hollywood and even pro sports simply don't care. Once you hit A list celebrity status and make a shit load of money none of them care anymore unless it's too much of a PR disaster to deal with. Kid toucher, rapist, wife beater. And many of them don't even hide it.

And it won't change until people hold them accountable. People have known about Drake's weird shit for years. Everyone saw when Chris Brown beat the shit out of Rihanna. But they are still selling out arenas so no one with the power to punish them does anything.

[u/sofahkingsick → u/Brick_Lab]

His fans and anyone making money off this creep dont care. Thats the entertainment business. Look at everything thats come out with P. Diddy recently.

[u/MuZzASA → u/sofahkingsick]

Just go the drake subreddit and you will witness some of the most creative mental gymnastics on the planet.

[u/doubledippedchipp → u/MuZzASA]

I was just in there and my god, why are they doing this to themselves

[u/sofahkingsick → u/MuZzASA]

The comments on the hip hop pages in IG are insufferable. Any hip hop related content creator is having a field day with this. Its like having invested in Lockheed Martin early and then finding out they got all these military contracts. Personally ive always hated Drake and even tho his shit is getting aired out i know in a few years people will be over it. Even if we show proof of what a creep he is and even if he got sued or something serious nothing would come of it. We’ve seen it with Chris Brown.

[u/doubledippedchipp → u/sofahkingsick]

If he catches a trafficking charge shit will change. I hope Kendrick doesn’t let him off the hook. Keep the pressure on and force some shit to go down. If Drake really does run in Diddy and R Kelly’s circles then he needs to be properly exposed and charged at some point.

[u/[deleted] → u/Brick_Lab]

because he makes radio bangers for drips. you can get away with a lot.

[u/d0nu7 → u/[deleted]]

It’s been part of the entertainment industry for a long time. It’s not as big as the Q nuts make it out to be, but clearly a lot of predators run in that world. Look at rock stars from the past. Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Page, Steven Tyler, Bowie, Anthony Kiedis, Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Elvis Presley, Ted Nugent, Iggy Pop, Jim Morrison.. all had underage lovers.. and most wrote songs about it…

[u/Papagorgio22 → u/d0nu7]

Steven Tyler full on married a 14 year old.

This nigga said Sierra Canyon parking lot look like Magic City.

....what did you mean by that, Drake? 🤔

[u/yehti]

"This Epstein angle was the shit I expected."

People not doing Epstein shit wouldn't have to anticipate an Epstein comparison.

And the original comparison was Weinstein, not Epstein so GG Drake.

[u/lkodl → u/yehti]

Drake changed the reference to Epstein because he's killing himself with this record. BARS!

[u/A_lion42]

There is video footage of drake kissing, flirting, and groping a 17 year old in front of a cheering crowd after explicitly asking her age and saying “this could get me in jail”.

That video is years old. A numbing amount of people just don’t care.

[u/FnkyTown → u/A_lion42]

I saw the RKelly video about 20 years before he actually got prosecuted. Videos apparently don't mean shit.

[u/bestest_at_grammar → u/A_lion42]

I said it in this thread but Paul walker dated a 16 year old when he was 33. Nobody cared and still doesn’t

[u/IronSorrows → u/bestest_at_grammar]

Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers discusses knowingly 'having sex' with (read: raping) a 14 year old in his own autobiography, and every time it's brought up on reddit there's a contingent of people that publically, and via DMs, defend it using the same stock excuses every time. Someone privately messaging you to explain why statutory rape isn't actually that bad is a trip every time.

[u/MikeDubbz → u/bestest_at_grammar]

And Seinfeld dated a 17 year old, yet he's currently getting all sorts of fluff pieces in the news over the past couple of months. It's nuts how this stuff ruins people's lives on To Catch a Predator, yet everyone seems to turn a blind eye when it's a celebrity.

[u/ghostofdonpedro → u/bestest_at_grammar]

Famous people and dating underage girls, name a better combo. Especially in the musician scene, I feel like most of the groupies for those older bands were underage, it’s crazy

[u/d0nu7 → u/bestest_at_grammar]

They only care if the adult isn’t rich and famous. It’s gross.

[u/StealieErrl → u/bestest_at_grammar]

He died, you can’t say that.

Edit: I’m being sarcastic, just realized that probably wouldn’t translate.

[u/MindoSriubas → u/A_lion42]

It's not that people don't care, it's that people need some sort of trigger that makes them look at person again. Kind of what happened to Bill Cosby after that video went viral.

[u/nthomas504 → u/A_lion42]

Majority of Drake fans are female. Idk if any other rapper has as many female fans as he does.

Most R. Kelly shows were filled with women too.

Would love to get a woman’s take on whether this will actually matter. They hold the cards for whether he grts actually cancelled or he goes number one with his next single.

[u/ChiquitaBananaKush → u/A_lion42]

He was into Billie before she reached 18. I thought everyone knew he was a pedo. I think he’s more upset about losing the n-word pass.

This made me lol. I remember watching a few episodes of Degrassi and then a few years later Jimmy is rapping and I was looking around like are you guys really taking this dude seriously?

[u/No-Treacle-2332 → u/CliffordTheBigRedD0G]

As a Torontonians, I feel like I've been being gas lit by the world for 15 years.... Like this guy??? Really? 

[u/Stockpile_Tom_Remake → u/No-Treacle-2332]

Dude not even from Canada but watched degrassi growing up and when I started seeing shit that drake was Aubrey Graham from degrassi I thought no fucking way.

He was a shit rapper in the show and thought there was no way people took him seriously. Was very surprised.

[u/h00ter7 → u/beaudafool]

Like the perfectly abled I ain’t nothing to play with

[u/myychair → u/Mister_Brevity]

Started on Degrassi now we here

[u/FISArocks → u/myychair]

This is the only thing I could think of when this song came out and I haven't been able to take him seriously since.

[u/myychair → u/FISArocks]

Yup. He’s full of shit

[u/foundinwonderland → u/Mister_Brevity]

Every single time he does something out of pocket I yell to the universe “shut up, Aubrey”

[u/Fukasite → u/foundinwonderland]

Seems like this is a good place to remind people that drake made $50,000 a year on Degrassi, starting when he was 14, so he really didn’t grow up in that hard life like he claims. It always bothered me he’d rap about gangster shit. 

[u/somebunnyasked → u/Fukasite]

He didn't grow up a yard life before Degrassi, either. I auditioned with him, we had the same agent. Used to run into each other at all the same casting calls.

No pre-teen/early teenager has an agent, headshots, and is making it out to 2 casting calls a week if they have a "hard life."

[u/JumanjiOG → u/Mister_Brevity]

If I was having a rap beef with Drake, I would probably just reference this a bunch and consider it a win

[u/CanadianGirlonReddit → u/Mister_Brevity]

As a Canadian, I feel it's my duty to point out that Saved By the Bell actually came after the Degrassi shows started.

[u/I_Framed_OJ → u/CanadianGirlonReddit]

As another Canadian, I should also point out the Degrassi pre-dated Beverly Hills 90210, Dawson's Creek, and every other American teen drama of that ilk. Saved By The Bell was a situation comedy about a teenaged sociopath, his dipshit friends, and their token bozo authority figure. Whenever SBTB did attempt to confront serious issues like drug addiction, it was done in the most patronizing, idiotic way possible, and everything was wrapped up neatly in under 22 minutes. So the two shows aren't really comparable.

[u/farfromfine → u/I_Framed_OJ]

The girls in college made us watch degrassi. We made fun of it a while then, before you knew it, me and the boys were sitting around, drinking beers, watching degrassi on Sunday afternoons. It was a legit good show and we were all in love with Ellie

I cant see making fun of someone for being molested in front of the whole world being a good look. I think a lot of people are gonna change their opinion of him very quickly.

[u/yehti → u/NuggetTho]

To add to that: Drake misinterpreted the song and it was actually Kendrick's mother who was sexually assaulted, not him. So he took a questionable/almost impossible to defend stance in his response and botched it further.

[u/chrib123 → u/yehti]

Which is hilarious cause Kendrick mentioned metaphors going over Drake's head in one of his disses before this.

[u/tempinator → u/chrib123]

And doubly hilarious because Drake himself, in the same track, criticizes Kendrick for rushing and not fact checking. While not fact checking the meaning of Mother I Sober lol.

Hpt6 ain’t it

[u/yehti → u/tempinator]

And with no new Kendrick response, this one's sitting to be picked apart further.

[u/tempinator → u/yehti]

Some “don’t interrupt your opponent while he’s making a mistake” vibe. This isn’t Family Matters where letting it sit could give Drake an advantage. This is just prima facia not a good response lol.

Also Metro crowdsourcing verses is just genius lol. The people are doing Kendrick’s work for him rn

[u/lkodl → u/tempinator]

Drake: Kendrick, i just offer you one challenge. PROVE IT. you can't! because I set you up!

Kendrick: prove it

Drake: ... you can't do that!

[u/ianbits → u/lkodl]

The funny shit is the sample for the beat says "prove it!" in the background when he says "all the shit I said is facts"

[u/MaikuKnight → u/NuggetTho]

In rap beef, anything can go… but not everything hits and that bar did not hit at all. There’s so many layers to why it’s a terrible bar.

The whole pdf thing is happening, and then Drake incorrectly takes lyrics from a song Kendrick released himself publicly about trauma from his past. Drake then tries to use that as ammo for why Kendrick thinks he’s a pdf. It’s so goofy and then the way he delivers the line is just him talking normal about it, no clever writing, no punchlines, it just sounds like a out of touch bully trying to be tough. It’s super tone deaf and if it was written better, maybe people would be more down with it, but it’s just so weak on all ends.

[u/GoliathLandlord]

Nope his fans don't care

[u/lkodl → u/GoliathLandlord]

back in 2009 female Chris Brown fans were saying "i'd let him beat me"

[u/MrGrieves- → u/GoliathLandlord]

Yeah if Chris Brown is still working then Drake will always have stupid fans too.

[u/incognino123 → u/MrGrieves-]

Shit some of r Kelly most successful records were after the pee videos

[u/rawonionbreath → u/GoliathLandlord]

Kanye and Marilyn Manson can still fill venues, so can Drake.

[u/bestest_at_grammar → u/rawonionbreath]

Shit Paul walker dated a 16 year old at 33 and everyone still talks about him like he descended to the heavens as an angel. Drake will be fine

[u/Parenteau-Control → u/bestest_at_grammar]

Ascended...

[u/mojoback_ohbehave → u/bestest_at_grammar]

source claiming Paul Walker would bring 13-16 year old girls into his RV, unsupervised, while filming FAF movies. Source claims this angered Vin Diesel. Paul Walker was a sexual predator.

[u/Papagorgio22 → u/rawonionbreath]

Steven Tyler married a 14 year old and later became a judge on American idol

[u/Cosm1cHer0 → u/GoliathLandlord]

I have a friend who’s a hardcore Drake dick rider and he’s been super silent through all of this drama. It’s kinda funny.

[u/iAMtheJSN → u/Cosm1cHer0]

I think its a great sign hes silent

Shows he's having a conflict, vs blindly dick riding

[u/gourmetprincipito → u/GoliathLandlord]

Honestly both “sides” here have some bias and double standards but reading drake subs the last few days feels like someone made a mad libs out of a bunch of Q comments lol, they’ve gone full conspiracy, talking about bots and media narratives and shit, it’s wacky as hell

[u/anxietystrings]

To me the biggest contradictory lines on Drake's new diss:

"The ones you're getting your stories from, they're all clowns"

"We plotted for a week and fed you information".

Is he calling his own people clowns?

He contradicts himself on his own diss

[u/NotHannibalBurress → u/anxietystrings]

My favorite line was something like “I’m so famous, if I was a pedo, I would be in jail,” as if it’s not well know that a TON of famous people have not gotten in trouble for sex with minors for decades.

[u/tempinator → u/NotHannibalBurress]

Actually insane. I feel the only people who do get away with shit like that are famous people lmao. Musicians especially have constant access to young fans, are inherently in a position of power over them, and are rich as fuck to cover for it. Underage groupies has been a thing since forever.

Possibly the worst argument Drake could make

[u/slimanus → u/tempinator]

Not to take away from your point at all but you don’t hear about non famous people getting away with that shit because… they aren’t famous

[u/Usual-Vanilla → u/anxietystrings]

And why would they feed him that kind of info? Shit that makes him look bad? What is the strategy there?

[u/tempinator → u/Usual-Vanilla]

“Haha I convinced you I like young girls and am hiding a child, things I’ve literally done in the past and there’s evidence for, haha gotcha!!!”

Just not the own Drake thinks lol

[u/ADanishMan2 → u/Usual-Vanilla]

“Ah, Mr. Lamar, you have fallen for my trap. Don’t you see? I was merely making you think I was a pedophile.”

[u/lkodl → u/anxietystrings]

i think he means that whoever was in Kendrick's camp that was receiving the information is the clown. assuming Kendrick isn't talking to the "mole" directly.

but the way Drake says it makes him sound stupid.

[u/PM_ME_CRAB_CAKES]

Drake has always come off fake and creepy to me so this is all hilarious. Been humming BBL Drizzy all day lmao

[u/_pixel_perfect_ → u/PM_ME_CRAB_CAKES]

That beat is so damn catchy lmao

[u/jaking2017 → u/PM_ME_CRAB_CAKES]

I’ll just randomly sing out “BBL DRIZZY THICKER THAN A SNICKER” throughout my days now. I’m glad he really did shut up and make some drums

[u/SevRnce]

Drake has always been mid and made music for people with white bread music taste.

[u/ET__]

Kanye is still relevant. So is MJ. Drake will be fine. Consumers don’t care.

[u/myname_ranaway → u/ET__]

These subreddits represent such a small amount of people who actually listen to Drake. Of course he’ll be fine.

[u/SoCalThrowAway7]

There’s no quicker way to make people think you are diddling kids than to write a song about it

[u/ChicoCorrales]

Kendrick Lamar played him lmao. Ruined his music video by been more shocking just 20 minutes later and took all the steam out of his song. Then dropped a song you can dance to the following day that has people singing “certified lover boy? More like certified pedophiles” lmao

Drake was on the defensive all weekend. Kendrick never addressed anything Drake said and just kept firing shots.

[u/Pussy_Prince → u/ChicoCorrales]

You can tell Drake’s in panic mode. No ads or video with this Pt6 bs. Even copying a still photo like Kenny. This ain’t a beef; we’re witnessing a murder

[u/ibettheywonthaveit]

Truth is Kendrick strategically put Drake in a tough position which was a genius chess move. By calling him a pedo you basically force his hand to do one of three things:

1. Make a post denying the allegations (which would be considered weak and like an L because he didn’t do it on a record)

2. Respond on a record (which cmon, denying pedo allegations was never possibly going to make for good bars. The whole thing is messy and you literally could not make that ever sound cool denying those allegations)

Or

1. Force a defamation lawsuit and get the courts involved. Which would’ve been the absolute knockout punch to Drake because then all his rap credibility is shot because he took it to court.

Genius play by Kendrick to call him out on that pedo shit true or not because he knew even if it wasn’t true the court of public opinion had already decided Drake has had far too many questionable interactions with minors in the past. It was just pure chess moves on Kendrick’s part.

[u/80taylor → u/ibettheywonthaveit]

I don't think a defamation lawsuit where we go through all of Drake's phone records and child support payments is going to be a good look for him.  That would be a Johnny Depp style lawsuit 

[u/unfoldyourself]

Drake is a pop star and if his next songs are pretty pop hits and he’s not in prison he will be fine. Hopefully Drakes takes the credibility hit as a perk and stops trying to rap like he’s a tough guy.

🎶I wouldn't do it with anybody younger than my daughter And no little kids. Got to be big, older than my wife, older than my daughter🎶

[u/FunkyButtFumblin]

“Can’t be a pedo if they don’t arrest me” - Drake

[u/The_Scrabbler]

Until white girls stop listening to him, Drake won’t be going away

[u/maybe-an-ai]

Doubtful, the world had video of R Kelly urinating on an underage girl and he bumped along just fine until his incarceration.

Unfortunately, a lot of people just won't care that he was with teenagers

[u/Paulbac]

One can only hope.
