That's King Von, a notoriously ruthless and deceased drill rapper known for needing to get revenge or "get back". Maybe Steam is taking vengeance for the guy who got hacked? That's all I've got.

drill rapper

drill rap is just a soap opera, prove me wrong.

Define soap opera in this context

He’s probably saying it’s vapid and drama filled or something, I really hate that type of derision personally

I assumed he meant drama filled and fake. In the UK, you do find a lot of poser drill rappers who pretend to be violent, but there’s also a lot of actual murders involved in the scene. It’s like 50/50 people who’d cry if they got cornered by a 13 year old girl and people who would actually stab you if you mildly insult them.

as someone who's a fan (yeah yeah I know), it's insane the amount of censorship they need to use because it references real life cases and can be used in court, a lot of "if you know you know" references to real life beef and problems, the lore runs DEEP it's pretty morbidly fascinating

and you can see in artists that come up from the genre what kind of person they are, a lot of rappers who actually had talent (lyrical content aside) end up dead or locked up for life, whilst others learn to distance themselves from the streets and change their lyrical content over time to make more of a career
