The lies in “Not Like Us”, published and promoted by UMG Recordings, failed to destroy Drake’s career.
The astroturfing and botted likes during ICEMAN’s release week couldn’t stop Drake from dominating the charts and breaking records. So Jay-Z’s bootlickers at The Breakfast Club have now pivoted to “Drake’s not philanthropic enough”.
What they fail to grasp is that this kind of manipulation only damages their own credibility, not Drake’s. Too many people see through the narratives they try to frame. All this nonsense does is create social-media fodder for dusty basement dwellers who have zero impact on the rest of society. The fans will keep enjoying Drake’s music, that won’t change.
ICEMAN is spending a third week at #1, and Drake still holds the record for the most #1 hits by a male soloist, more than Michael Jackson.
🚨 The lengths some media outlets go to slander Drake should be studied.
🧐 The Breakfast Club wants people to believe every caller is some random person who just happened to get through. Meanwhile, they’re now broadcasting live on Netflix. You really think they’re risking random callers saying anything they want on a platform that big? 🤔
🔎 This Alleged “Toronto caller” claiming Drake doesn’t do anything for the city sounded suspicious from the start. She doesn’t even sound like she’s from Toronto, yet we’re supposed to believe she’s speaking for the city? 👀
What’s even more telling is how Charlamagne handled the conversation. Instead of challenging any of the claims, he suddenly plays the neutral, unbiased host role:
🗣️ Caller: “Drake isn’t as popular as y’all think in Toronto.”
🗣️ Charlamagne: “I don’t know, he streams a lot. He sells out tours.”
🗣️ Caller: “He’s never done anything for Toronto. Never helped hospitals, homeless people, schools, nothing.”
🗣️ Charlamagne: “Well, I can’t tell you about your city. You know more than me.”
Notice how the setup works. The caller gets to make a bunch of negative claims, while Charlamagne acts detached so it doesn’t look like the show is pushing the narrative themselves.
The problem is it feels way too convenient. A caller magically gets through to bash Drake, makes a series of claims with no pushback, and the hosts act surprised while allowing the message to reach millions of viewers.
Maybe some people will believe it was random.
I don’t.
This looked more like a planned narrative than an organic call-in moment The Fact That They Used This Phone Call Clip On Their Social Media Is Telling In Itself… Out Of Every Clip Out Of The Show They Used This To Start A Narrative And To Get Engagement. My Opinion This Was A Structured Call In..
