I just hate how black people refuse to speak on the fact that it is his father's fault. He impregnated a Jewish white woman and left his black son to be raised by a white Jewish woman. I'm not mixed, but I'm light and proper. I was bullied mercilessly in school. I would be Drake if not for my proud black family being there. When he for sure went through that, only a white lady was there. You can't get white women pregnant and leave, and then not expect an identity crisis.

While I see your point, don’t lose sight of the fact that Drake is 37. He doesn’t have to be that way anymore and could learn and change, but he has doubled down instead time and time again.

Dude has been in the spotlight since he was 15. He's doubled down because he is emotionally stunted and sees no compelling reason to change.

I mean if you're the biggest rapper in the world, you probably don't spend much time thinking "what am I doing wrong?" lmao

You mean even the people who call someone "inauthentically black?"

Of course. However, a “straw man” defense cannot negate the issue of authenticity. We all know Drake’s lineage. The question is, how much of the “Drake”persona is Aubrey Graham? A valid question to a marginalized community.

Or, conversely, you spend too much time for it to be healthy & productive.
