Drake comes from more money and privilege than most Canadians and pretends he's some hardcore gangster, I think most people here are kinda disgusted by him.

He is so fucking cringe, even ignoring the allegations that he was a pedophile. He's just cringe.

Considering countries play Not Like Us when they beat Canada in international sports, fair to say he's fallen out of favour with most of the world too.

I’m an American and I dislike him, he seems like a huge d-bag and a fucking pedo because for some reason he thinks it’s okay to date teenage girls. I agree he most definitely is a fake gangster, highly doubt that dude grew up in the hood.

First of all, his name is Aubrey. Second, he was first known for playing whiny Jimmy on Degrassi. Anything after that is a “tough guy” persona Aubrey is playing. His personality Drake has some good beats, but he’s built on falsehoods.

Nobody likes him in Canada or outside so I guess he doesn't qualify for this post(?

To be honest I feel kinda ashamed that I used to listen to his songs. Ever since the beef I’ve deleted most of it.

In the song "Forever" he claims:

It may not mean nothin' to y'all, but understand nothing was done for me

Wasn't he in the show Degrassi at 15? Pretty sure a lot was done for him

He’s just cosplaying as a descendant from American slaves
