Drake has shown how much he sweats during his energetic live performances.
The rapper/singer of “God’s Plan” is currently co-headlining the It’s All a Blur Tour with J Cole.
On social media, 37-year-old Drake shared a video of himself taking off his shirt after a show.
Panting, the rapper then folded the shirt in his hands and wrung it out like a wet towel, causing sweat to pour out of the garment.
Last month, Drake became a trend on social media after a video was released allegedly showing him engaging in a sexual act.
Drake appeared to respond to the alleged leak by apparently sending popular Kick streamer Adin Ross “eight laughing emojis” when confronted with the video.
According to US podcaster Adam22, who claims to have spoken to Drake, the singer felt “threatened” by the release of the tape.
“Drake told me they threatened him with that,” said Adam22 (via TMZ), adding: “I don’t know if they specifically asked for money, but he knew a few weeks in advance that this could come out.”
Adam22 also said Drake dismissed suggestions that he himself had anything to do with the alleged leak, telling him, “Nah, that’s not my style.”
On Friday (March 22), Drake and Cole were attacked by rapper Kendrick Lamar, who appears on Future and Metro Boomin’s new collaborative album. We don’t trust you.
In his verse of the song “Like That,” Lamar rejects the idea that he, Drake and Cole are the “big three” of rap.
“Fuck the big three, n***a, it’s just big Me,” he raps. “N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/And your best work is a light backpack.”
He compares their rivalry to the dispute between Prince and Michael Jackson in the eighties.
On “First Person Shooter,” Drake compared his chart success to that of Michael Jackson. On “Like That,” Lamar states: “N***a, Prince outlived Mike Jack.”
In a two-star review of Drake’s latest album For all dogs, The IndependentNadine Smith wrote: “Instead of relaxing and settling down at nearly forty, Drake’s new album For all dogs sees him misbehaving more than ever, in ways that often smack not just of insecurity but of downright misogyny.”
She added: “When he raps in ‘First Person Shooter’ that he ‘packs them like sardines in my phone,’ his utter disdain for women jumps right in your face.”
In a five-star review of Lamar’s latest album Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers, The IndependentBen Bryant of The New York called the record “a delicate opus from the defining poet of his generation.”
