https://web.archive.org/web/20230704105620/https://www.gq.com/story/drake-interview-gq-april-2012
remembered this interview from way back in 2012 where Drake is just creepy, ending with him doing the "I let you interview me at my house, are you going to sleep with me or not" implication. what a weirdo
When I ask about the strange square above the bed, he grabs a remote, and a projection system emerges from the ceiling. Neato, I say."Would I have you already?" he asks. "Are you sleeping with me?"Time to go!Itās a hypothetical question (I think), but Drake, being Drake, still wants an answer: "We had wine and dinner by the pool, I brought you inside, I brought the projector down; are you or are you not sleeping with me?"
"Would I have you already?" he asks. "Are you sleeping with me?"

The civility discourse surrounding this is the most ridiculous thing about it and is going to age like milk.
āThis is not just beef anymore - these are highly serious allegations being leveled by two monumental, era-defining artists! One leveling accusations of antisemitism and homophobia, and the other spreading the false misinformation that 'nobody listen to techno' and explicitly endorsing physical violence at the hands of Obie. How are we as a culture supposed to move forward from this ā just go on and pretend it never happened? We are all implicated in this tragedy.ā

jesus christ three letter acronyms are a nightmare to deal with. i got so many friends who've had Facial Feminization Surgery. and then you got fuckin' two letter acronyms, how many different things does SA stand for?
to me what pierre's thinkpiece misses is that there's not really a "both sides" to this at all. drake is dropping accusations and they don't all fit together, there's no larger narrative to it. with kendrick, even the trivial shit he talks about goes to building a larger narrative - that drake is not just a hypocrite, but a psychopathic liar, a horrible person who should die. everything he says, every accusation he makes, from trivial shit like the BBL, to the way he uses people and throws them away, to him being a "certified pedophile" - it all leads into that larger narrative.
whereas the two larger accusations drake makes - the accusation dave free is the real father of one of kendrick's kids with whitney, and the accusation that kendrick beat whitney - what do they add up to? i mean that latter one for sure, it is a serious accusation and i guess if i gotta talk about it, i gotta say that my perspective is that i am a victim of intimate partner violence. i don't think the lady who hit me is a bad person. i don't talk about it because for the most part it's between me and her. i'm not ashamed of what happened, i'm not hiding anything, it just doesn't matter by and large. only reason i bring it up is because having had that experience, to me, using that shit as a "gotcha" in a rap beef is some real lowdown shit, fuckin' heinous behavior on drake's part. people do some fucked up shit sometimes. if whitney wants to talk about it, if kendrick wants to talk about it, they can talk about it. i think it would be a good thing. kendrick's talked about some hard shit and he's done it well. but for drake to come out with that accusation like there's some equivalence, like it makes anything and everything drake himself did ok, fuck that. it _really_ pisses me off that drake went and did something like that.
so no i don't think this beef is totally trivial or silly or for the lols, but neither do i think that this beef is a Bad Thing and that Kendrick Should Know Better. fuck that.

not trying to minimize the domestic abuse allegation because if more than just Drake's tut-tutting came out, I'd feel v different about it, but the article v much has "the two of you need to find a way to get along" energy from a teacher on the playground, when one of the two kids very clearly started a fist fight
― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:05 (five months ago) link
Drake's "Oh you were abused that's why you don't like predators" thing is probably the grossest so far--it's just been overshadowed by the fact that he didn't even know who the victim was in the song.
― Never fight uphill 'o me, boys! (President Keyes), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:06 (five months ago) link
anyway the DV allegation Drake is talking about is an internet rumor from 2014 about Kendrick supposedly beating up his girlfriend at a Hard Rock Cafe. fwiw Kendrick denied that it happened and there was no police report. Maybe he did hire a Crisis management team to deal with the story.

― RICH BRIAN (Neanderthal), Monday, 6 May 2024 19:20 (five months ago) link
thinking about it i think that gets me the most about it is the way drake is disrespecting whitney, as a woman and as a human being. domestic violence is some serious shit, and using that just as a way to say say "kendrick you suck" without any kindness or compassion or consideration, yeah that's some ice cold psychopath shit, particularly when drake's other accusation is that whitney fucked around on kendrick with dave free. like what the fuck drake who are you even beefing with here? whitney's her own person, she belongs to herself. you wanna go after kendrick go after kendrick, not his loved ones. don't know why drake wouldn't get that, unless maybe he never loved or cared for another person in his life. that seems to be the case kendrick's making, and honestly the shit drake is saying and doing in this beef goes a long way to back that up.

Perspective of an artist from Toronto
I think if Drake and them hadn't completely intimidated everyone from supporting artists from Toronto that were deemed threats to him in 2012-2018 there would be a lot more artists from home standing up for him right now.He didn't do that so now it's 20v1 and since there is noā¦— IN LOVING MEMORY+ (@seanleon) May 6, 2024
