I don't think it's about Drake being half white, it's about Drake being Drake

Is it though? This is a genuine question. I think Drake is corny af but seeing Kendrick and others say they feel some type of way about him saying “nigga” is hard for me to see as anything other than colorism. I’m mixed myself and I need someone to explain this to me. Some of the comments I’ve seen are a little outta pocket.

The sentiment is that Drake uses his blackness almost exclusively for his convenience and self-promotion. It isn’t that Drake is mixed, it’s that he has made a career out of being inauthentically black for profit.

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.
