On February 6, Canadian rapper and singer Drake became the center of attention online due to the leakage of an X-rated video involving him on social media, which quickly became the subject of numerous memes. The incident saw Drake trending at the top of social media platforms, with reports suggesting that the rapper is not only aware of the leaked footage but also believes it may be authentic.
Drake, who was a nominee in four categories at the 2024 Grammy Awards alongside artist Savage 21, did not secure any awards at the event. In response to the Grammy results, Drake took to Instagram to express his perspective on the significance of the awards.
He emphasized to his followers and fellow artists that the Grammys represent the opinions of an undisclosed group of individuals and should not be seen as definitive in the hip-hop community. He congratulated those who won awards in hip-hop but maintained that the Grammys do not hold sway over the genre’s achievements.
The leaked video, which has become a talking point among netizens, reportedly features an individual, purported to be Drake, engaged in a sexual act without any clothing on the lower half of his body, as captured in a mirror. This explicit content led to widespread speculation and discussions online.
In the midst of the controversy, YouTuber Adin Ross, known for his previous interactions with Drake, reached out to the “Hotline Bling” singer to comment on the video. Ross sent Drake a voice message, which has since been shared across social media platforms. In the message, Ross humorously remarked on Drake’s various talents and made a playful comment about Drake’s physical endowment, referring to it as a “missile.”
According to Ross, Drake replied to his voice message with a text message containing several laughing emojis, indicating a light-hearted response to the situation. This exchange between Ross and Drake adds another layer to the ongoing discussion about the leaked video, showcasing Drake’s ability to handle the situation with humor despite the potential for controversy.
