During his controversial interview with Bobbi Althoff, Drake talked about the culture vulture label.
He said: “I experience a lot of guilt-tripping in my life where people are like, ‘No, this is your fault,’ essentially. And my intentions are pure. My intentions are pure. It’s the same way even in music. People will be like, ‘You’re a culture vulture.’”
Drizzy added: “They’ll put a negative spin on it and try and tell me that it’s a self-serving thing or whatever, and I think I get really sensitive about that.”
Kendrick Lamar would also lobby the accusations at him at the height of their beef.
On “Euphoria”, Lamar rapped: “You not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hopes of bеing accepted.”
The Compton superstar followed up on “Not Like Us” by spitting: “You called Future when you didn’t see the club / Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up / 21 gave you false street cred / Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head / Quavo said you can be from Northside / 2 Chainz say you good, but he lied / You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars / No, you not a colleague, you a fuckin’ colonizer.”
Drake has also been called out by 2Pac’s brother for purchasing jewelry previously owned by the late rap legend.
Speaking on The Latest, Mopreme said: “My man need to think more about his moves. Because I just saw in London, talking about, ‘London got the best rappers. London rappers are better than American rappers.’ So why are you so seeking after the king of raps’ jewels, literal jewels?”
He continued: “If England has the best rappers, why are you doing this? So I don’t know. I think the family should have all of Pac’s things, personally. But things don’t always work out that way. My personal opinion, that’s what I feel.”
