Drake caught himself quickly.
Listen, the music media, including this stupid-ass site, stinks sometimes. An artist can do and say a million good things, but we tend to hang on to the itty bitty negativity we can find in any story. That said, I think Drake and Adin Ross giving away tons of money and gifts to people in need is such an awesome gesture by them. However, because we need to be stinky from time to time, there was a moment that I thought was noteworthy that you need to hear about.
During the stream, Drake was reading a heartfelt letter from a fan praising his generosity. However, things took an unexpected turn when the fan’s message included the phrase, “and it’s f**k Kendrick Lamar.” Caught off guard, Drake inadvertently read the line aloud before quickly catching himself, visibly amused and slightly embarrassed by the slip.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Drake is one of the funniest celebrities around. While I think this was genuinely a slip-up on his part, he managed to play it off with his signature humor, almost as if he didn’t mind the comment. At this stage, the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef feels so politicized that it makes sense why Drake would steer clear of outright disses. Subtle sneak-disses? Now that’s more his style.
Man, f this site for highlighting the negative part of this great day.
Quincy is the creator of Ratings Game Music. He loves writing about music, taking long walks on beaches, and spaghetti that fights him back.
