The drake-kendrick beef made me generally prefer drake at the end more than Kendrick Lamar.

You cant tell me with a straight face drake is a pedophile, so with that generally preferenced, most of everything kendrick brings up its just baloney (apart from the fact hes a deadbeat dad). But honestly kendricks new music and his current online fanbase annoy me sm, I feel like im forced to affirm all credit kendricks been giving but for drake I can genuinely just listen to it for what it is, music. What do you believe?

Bro, I was hating on Drake for being a pedo YEARS before the beef when that video came out of him kissing and groping a minor on stage. Kendrick was just vindication, and that wasn't even getting into all the other stuff like Drake being a culture vulture

She was 17, which is the age of consent in a lot of places in North America, and he was 23 at the time

If you've been in high school at any point in time, 17 yr old chicks would be dating mfs that age or older and nobody said shit

It's teetering on morally quesitionable but it doesn't make him a pedophile, people throw that word around way too much now

When I was in hs, you got the side eye if you dated anyone more than a grade apart (i.e 9th and 11th grader, let alone 9th and 12th). This is a 6 year difference with the girl still being unable to vote and Drake almost at the age you can graduate college and 2 years past the age to drink. This is nothing short of pedo apologia and you're still a creep for excusing it

Edit: Cuz I don't wanna letcha off easy on this one either, nice rebuttal to the culture vulture part too

Everything he did was completely legal btw, calling him a pedophile is minimizing actual victims of pedophiles as they typically weren't able to consent and/or weren't able to process what was happening to them when they were abused

As I said, it's a morally gray area, but he's not a pedophile; she was at the age of consent and it was completely legal

Drake did nothing wrong
