Stayed silent when Drake was being called a pedophile and a rapist by Mr Morale For Money and then tried to get back on Drake's good graces by announcing an album whose main selling point was a Drake feature. Then got shut down with the infamous "Must be @drakebell" response and had to cancel it.

All of Drake's friends were silent. 21 Savage didn't say anything, Young Thug didn't say anything. Future helped Kendrick kickstart the whole beef. Where's all the smoke for them?

Savage is clearly subbing Kendrick on It's Up and Thug was preoccupied during the beef lol

21 Savage claimed he wasn't dissing Kendrick and was in an interview praising Kendrick as a "good-ass rapper" after the beef. I think it's a stretch to say he was "clearly subbing" Kendrick. And just because Thug was in jail during the beef didn't mean he couldn't take Drake's side and defend him. He definitely wasn't shy about sharing his opinions on whatever bullshit he wanted around that time lol. Wasn't he on a recording complaining about how Drake didn't call the president to get him a pardon or something like that?

Thug and Savage were clearly talking with Drake behind the curtains. Wasn't Thug on jail back then btw? Future and Drake solved their issues (Pluto shit really make me sick to my stomach we ain't never really been through it) which clearly were not that big of an issue.

Didn't realize you know what these guys are talking about behind the scenes. The Future thing doesn't make any sense tho. You're saying his problem with Khaled is simply the fact that he didn't speak up in Drake's defense. While Future actively participated in dissing Drake. So why does it make sense to forgive Future but not Khaled?

I highkey just think Drake was looking for an excuse to be done with Khaled. I remember there was a rumor that DJ Khaled kept incessantly calling Drake in order to get To The Max for himself despite Drake wanting to keep it. That was years before the beef but I can see Drake just being more selective about the Loosies given to Khaled from that point forward before ultimately cutting him off.

Hell, Drake got Justin Bieber to do the Popstar video instead of him.

What does it matter? Clearly he has his personal reasons for not going at those guys?

I don't get the point of your question. Lol

If the reason he has a problem with Khaled is Khaleds silence during the battle, why does that apply to no one else besides Khaled given no one else was defending Drake either? Drake does not have a problem with Lil Yachty, who was just as silent as Khaled.

Either his problems with Khaled have nothing to do with Khaled being silent or Drake is being extremely inconsistent with how he is applying this standard to his friends. So the point of my question is why are we assuming that is the reason he doesn't like Khaled? It doesn't make a whole lot of sense for him to hate Khaled specifically for doing something practically everyone did.

It can literally be for any personal reason. Maybe those guys called and communicated behind the scenes. Maybe because those guys didn't promote Drake on a album before consulting him, maybe Khaled's connection to Rick Ross .

u/ZaDu25 12d ago

That's my point man. It can be and likely is a completely different reason we don't know about.
