In Drake & Kendrick Beef, Women Are The Real Victims

Over the years, Drake has been plagued with suspicions of inappropriate interactions with young women as well as transitioning his brand into incel rhetoric that consistently marginalizes women and girls. Drake’s heel-turn into a villainous alter-ego plays into how he markets his show and what he makes go viral, like giving a fan 50K to flex on a girlfriend that left him with no context for their breakup included, or, apparently, necessary for Drake. “F*ck that young lady,” he said. These days, the rapper’s music is fodder for podcast mics and engagement-baiting, blue-checked accounts pushing relationship prompts on the app formerly known as Twitter. Drake also consistently defended fellow Toronto rapper Tory Lanez when he was on trial for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. When accused sex trafficker and red-pill universe champion Andrew Tate claimed that Drake had wanted to meet with him, what was most revealing was the fact that the claim, however far-fetched, did not feel entirely implausible given the megastar’s public actions over recent years – including helping pen a record for longtime entourage member and security detail Baka Not Nice after he served time in prison for assaulting a woman. The cascade of recent behavior lends credibility to Kendrick’s recent invectives on “Not Like Us” pointing to Drake’s alleged long ignored behavior.
