Drake Thinks ‘Rap Is A Joke,’ According To The Carefree Graphic T-Shirt He Was Spotted Wearing.
Rihanna isn’t the only superstar who uses her wardrobe to cleverly communicate with the public. Yesterday (July 13), Drake had something to vent about, and he used a simple graphic t-shirt to do it.
On his official Instagram page, Drake uploaded an image of himself wearing a T-shirt that reads, “Rap is a joke.” Below the image, Drake added a cryptic caption: “The pressure from being on top doesn’t just make your ears ring.”
The comments section under Drake’s post was quickly filled with words of support from fans with optimistic messages. However, on X (formerly Twitter), users didn’t hesitate to call the “Family Matters” rapper an underdog after he lost a lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar.
“He lost, so of course he would think so. A bitter loser like Nicki Minaj. The whole pre-young team failed,” one user asserted.
The “Rap is a Joke” T-shirt costs $20 and is a signature souvenir of the Bay Area-based duo Rap Is A Joke (Frank Stacks and L-$). parodies of hip-hop culture. Is this Drake’s answer to Kendrick Lamar’s “You think the Bay gonna let you respect Pac n*****” line in “Not Like Us”?
Only time will tell if Drake’s move is a joke, or a harsh response to Kendrick Lamar. Regardless, fans will definitely continue to watch and wait for further developments in this war of words.
Additionally, the long-standing feud between Eminem and Candace Owens also flared up on Eminem’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)”. Although the “Tobey” rapper offered a few words of praise throughout the piece, he couldn’t resist launching a barrage of mockery at Owens.
On the songs “Lucifer” and “Bad One,” Eminem continued his sharp verbal assault. Owens took to his official YouTube channel to respond, calling Eminem a “leftist elitist” and “impersonating a race he is not.”
“You’re useless,” Owens said. “Your music isn’t good anymore, Grandpa Shady. He’s a lesson to a lot of people out there that you need to know when it’s time to retire.”
The nicknames Eminem used to target Owens, such as “Grand Wizard,” “Klandace,” and “Grand Dragon,” were not only sarcastic but also very sharp and highly offensive. In the song “Lucifer,” Eminem raps: “And Candace O, I ain’t mad at her/ I ain’t gonna throw the fact that that bitch forgot she’s black in her face/ Laugh at her, like laugh the cookies she’s endorsing.”
In the song “Bad One,” Eminem continues: “she turned her back on her own race,” a reference to Owens’ public support of Donald Trump and criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The quarrel between Eminem and Candace Owens does not stop at rap lyrics but also deeply reflects the contrast in political and social views between the two. Eminem, known for his liberal and anti-establishment views, did not hesitate to criticize Owens and her supporters.
Fans can listen to the songs “Lucifer” featuring Sly Pyper and “Bad One” featuring White Gold to better feel this war of words. Eminem’s new album will certainly continue to cause controversy and heated discussions in the music fan community and society.
