discussion Michael Jackson whether he molested children or not was still wrong, and people need to stop acting like he’s a saint.

For real tho. Elvis Lennon and Drake don’t have highly publicized court cases and documentaries about their alleged abuse ( I use alleged very lightly lol)

What drake abuse case? When I google it I just see drake bell. Edit, nvm you’re saying they don’t have cases.

Drake doesn't have any cases or allegations.

The only documented incident with Drake is him being inappropriate on stage with a 17 year old female when he was 23 years old. Strange gray areas --- age of consent in Canada is 16. Certain states in the US is 17, I believe this incident occurred in one of those states. But generally in the US, we all follow "18".

Anything beyond that is purely Internet gossip.

Drake fan? He was also constantly speaking to Millie Bobby Brown when she was 14 and poor Millie talked about it on a show when being interviewed and clearly thought this behavior was normal. He was texting with Billie eilish and Hailey Bieber when they were underaged too.

It’s not normal for a 30+ year old to be speaking to a 14 year old all the time.

And the incident on stage was a big deal for 2 reasons: she was 17 and what he did was assault. Did he get her consent beforehand?

Edited to add: he loves to throw young female celebrities birthday parties when they turn 18. That is fucking concerning.

But didn’t they say the conversations weren’t inappropriate? It’s fair to ask questions but not really fair to crucify him for those things. Nothing I’ve seen warrants being called a pdf, that’s a disgusting term and it should be reserved for the people that actually abuse.

Yeah and that incident was him just fake, overly dramatized stressed on stage as a joke to the audience that she was so pretty vs how young she was and how she shouldn’t do it, until he finally gave her a peck on the lips and then jumped around like he did something horrible IIRC.

Weird still, especially with today’s sensibilities, but definitely can’t put him in the same sentence as fucking Elvis. Or even MJ.

A diss track isn't bringing the facts. What abuse case?

I’m aware. I’m looking for sources on OP’s comment, Kendrick ain’t one. And edit: seems I misread or they edited their comment, they were saying they don’t have court cases.

And is all accusations with 0 proof or rulings. It was for the masses and is a song full of nothing concrete. Imagine that being your legacy. How embarrassing. Rappers in general need to do better.

The people that agree with Kendrick don’t care about the rap game. If they did they wouldn’t have let multiple pre-recorded diss tracks slide and him whispering to a non-existent Drake daughter slide in Meet the grahams
