Drake Won. He played the long game. Discussion

He spent years publicly grooming Millie Bobby Brown and many others just to setup Kendrick. It's genius really.

That’s how I felt about Kanye. But I stopped defending him after the MAGA hat and “slavery was a choice”.

Drake’s “I’m too famous, I would’ve been arrested” is tone deaf. Especially in a time where Diddy and Dan Schneider just got exposed for sex crimes. If any Drake fans nods their head in agreement with that one, I don’t know what to say.

Edit: changed arrest to expose

For real

Like, he name-dropped Epstein, whose entire thing was trafficking underage girls specifically to people who were extremely wealthy and well-connected.

Who keep in mind got arrested for it where he basically got house arrest and just continued being a monster and when the case was going to blow open he got offed. Rich and famous people do that ish all the time but they get away cause the money and power allows them to slip away but they'll kill if it goes to far.

That's not rly how it went...

The first time E got in trouble for misdeeds he used his connections to the DA to get a sweetheart deal. He then continued doing his shit & got caught again, during which the first deals sketchiness came out, and he got thrown in jail. Then before court this second time--because he saw the writing on the wall I believe--he ended up hung.

The circumstances around his death are sus but they also aren't farfetched.

It's not impossible people in power off-ed him but it's also very realistic he would do the work himself. Prison is not friendly for his type, he was probably never making it out and all his shit was going to get exposed; probably in a long and painful drawn out legal case.

If y'all were Epstein you'd kill yourself too in that situation, I bet.

I mean, they're Drake fans. Didn't take much to get them there.

That was the straw for me. I can deal with an artist being a terrible person, most of them are. But I can't nod my head to that shit

Also super tone-deaf to sidestep allegations of grooming by checks notes alleging that your opponent was sexually assaulted and making light of it

"It's disgusting that you think I would ever harm a child, also haha you got touched as a kid"

Like...come on

I didn’t know Dan Schneider got arrested! That’s great news

u/bindlestiff_ 26d ago

Unfortunately that’s not true. He is suing Quiet on Set though, so discovery should be interesting.

u/ClickProfessional769 26d ago

Ah okay. Hopefully that brings even more to light.

If you don’t understand how the phrase “slavery is a choice” is offensive, then you are intentionally obtuse and I don’t want to speak to you. I’d recommend reading the work of Fredrick Douglas if you truly don’t understand slavery.

Diddy was a large figure in 90s and early 2000s hip hop. He was the guy dancing around in the Biggie videos. Schneider was the executive producer for all the Nickelodeon shows like iCarly and All That.
