I wish other artists would seriously call out Drake instead of “funny” disses tbh.

I know "friend of a human trafficker" might be challenging to add to a flow, but come on. Raise the bar.

I hope more people would seriously come out and call D*ake out on his predatory behavior. No reason for him to be going to high school basketball games and being “friends” with the team. Smh

What the fuck?! I would ask can we ship him permanently back to Canada like T*ry L*nez but the poor young girls of Canada don’t deserve his predation either. He deserves jail time for doing shit like this.

The fact that people don’t see an issue with this is wild and the fact that he was besties with Billie and Millie texting them when they were still minors… like when is someone gonna say enough

I’ve been wishing for YEARS that rappers would call out Drake for being a pervert (instead of just making fun of him for being corny and hiding his child lmao) and a human trafficker defender.

Same way I wish some of them would grow a pair and stop licking Kanye’s ass for being a gEnIuS and call him what he is: a self-hating anti-Semitic piece of garbage.

But it’ll never happen bc they always close rank and either decide to stay silent and count their money or even defend one another from valid criticism bc misogyny runs so fucking deep. It’s hard being a female hip hop fan.

I always thought the song was pretty lame. Seems like it was for white people so they could sing it and feel like activists. I remember one time a white acquaintance of mine got drunk and was stomping around the streets barefoot yelling “this is America!” and she was all smug about it like “yeah, I know the struggle” and I just knew her “activism” was gonna get my black ass arrested.
