"Not Like Us" (track in the clip) by Kendrick is prob the biggest song of last year, at least in the US. It's a blatant diss record to one of the biggest artists in the world, Drake. It's 4.5 minutes of Kendrick disrespecting Drake and who he is. This particular line is a jab at the fact he has a reputation/record for hitting on young girls/minors, hence that dragged out line being a double entendre and prob the best/most singable part of a song with no real chorus

Thanks for explaining to us noobs. That's awesome. Love that questionable actions have consequences. And on a huge stage no less.

Its odd though since dj mustard, the person who made the beat and who was called out on stage is also an actual child groomer.

It's worth noting that, as per the New York Times, no credible allegations of impropriety have ever actually been made against Drake. By all indications, Lemar took an unfounded internet rumour - basically, a hip-hop meme - and gave it credibility by making it the basis of his diss track. There are a lot of people in this thread who are talking about Drake as if he's been dodging prosecutions and lawsuits, but by all evidence, there just don't seem to be any.

I mean there's literally a video of Drake kissing a 17 year old on stage so it's not unfounded

And the weird videos of him and Millie Brown when she was just starting to get big after the first season of stranger things

Not defending him, but the people who paid for this show, dedicating it to two of their artists, having signed both drake and Kendrick are set to negotiate drakes contract this year, and rich people talking to each other isn’t really valid proof.

Better dragged than eat corporate shit bought and paid for you by a company who signed both artists mentioned and are set to negotiate one of their contracts this year. Guess
