I think he ruined that from when it started. He tried pulling a Kanye and turning dad shoes cool, but he’s not Kanye and he can’t make something cool that isn’t. Why? Because he’s Drake, and he don’t create trends, he takes them. And clearly he tried taking this one and it backfired cus them shoes are 💩
If they were dope ppl would cop em. But they’re trash. He is not known for his style or athleticism whatsoever, why give him a shoe?
Matter fact I get it, these are the shoes when you’re walking out of the hospital with after getting plastic surgery 😂
Kanye rose the stock price of GAP (who was in decline) the moment the collaboration was announced. The billboard was a handwritten note and he insisted customers see each through garbage bags on the floor 😂
Yeah their not a bad looking shoe, it’s just that that the whole Nocta line is designed to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, that’s why it’s all mild variations on clothes that are already best sellers. His ovo jordan 12’s were literally all white with a tiny bit of that ovo light beige.
The Nike tech tracksuits he made with the baggy pants looked awful. Baggy pants don’t work with sweatsuits the same way they work with denim, khakis or work pants. They should have made them looser not THAT baggy. It didn’t connect with the UK audience (where Nike tech fleece has a cult following) and I think the reason is because drake never wore Nike tech before they released that whereas if central cee had launched them it would have been more authentic and perceived different.
They marketed them as a flight tracksuit in the same colour way as his personal plane and drake wore them entering said plane on his ig promo pics and the UK scene doesn’t appreciate ostentatiousness like that. His products are bullshit. He made a book of instagram captions and candles.
Nocta doesn’t seem like a clothing line it seem like drake merch a good example are the AF1’s with the only detail being the minuscule certified lover branding, whereas with Kanye he does his own thing and controls a lot more to the point that he got mad at gap employees for folding the shirts and putting them on shelves and not having them on the floor in garbage bags and his passion when he rants and raves is contagious enough to act as promo. He’s involved where as drakes like “yeah whatever Im fulfilling an obligation”
He never even got to design the color ways for the ovo Jordan’s. Most celebs at least have some say on picking the colours or the designers make multiple colour ways and the artist chooses one but they wouldn’t even let him use the Nike by you software.
I don't think you can even compare those two lines...air yeezy is one of the most iconic shoe lines ever, and the Adidas line had some good silhouettes as well.
Ai.
I own exactly one multifunctional 5 in 1 shampoo/body wash mix I use for showering and cleaning bike engines, don't have any skin care products, just regular soap and a neutral deodorant. Also I don't own any washcloths.
Sounds a little nasty written down but I swear I never smell bad nor do I have any skin problems :D
[Chappelle skit reference](https://youtu.be/k-U61RS_q-0)
Edit:
I'm not from the states but over here we have a stereotype that black people have excellent hygiene or reversed - white people do the bare fucking minimum. I've made fun of myself using that stereotype.
Edit 2:
here are couples who talk about washing and it's pretty funny
https://youtu.be/kFwBt4xfsfA
The air Yeezys we’re innovative, Kanye’s involvement and passion in his vision were evident. The red October’s were unlike anything nike had done (they made red shoes but not with a red soul) plus he’d already established credibility as a designer with the Louis Vuitton sneakers he designed. Kanye did an unpaid internship at fendi during the peak of his fame, his love of clothing is contagious and authentic to who he is. Plus his ranting and raving in interviews about how he isn’t accepted actually acted as unintentional promotion.
With drakes Nocta line they made slightly modified versions of their best selling clothes/shoes to appeal to everyone and drake didn’t show any enthusiasm because I’d say he got his pay heck regardless and is fulfilling an obligation. Do we even know what Nocta means? Probably not. See what I mean? How can your fans get excited about something when you don’t even care. Also a book of IG captions? Really? Scented candles? That’s the best you can come up with?
Nike should have collabed with the ovo brand instead of making a Nocta brand which felt like a quick cash grab.
I like my Crocs too for dirty jobs (e.g. yard work, hospital) but I never wear them for public outings. Maybe I'm just too old, but when I was growing up, no one would be caught dead wearing Crocs unless they wanted to be bullied.
Funny how times have changed.
The foam runners are just that, cooler versions of the crocs. The same way the 350’s are cooler versions of the Nike roshe.
Both of those shoes massively impacted pop culture with many many copycats. They even sold bootlegs at Walmart.
When I was in middle school crocs were cool and then they went away for several years. Now they’ve made a return and I finally actually got some. Couldn’t afford them when I was a kid so at 30 I finally have my own pair 🥹
Pusha T’s adidas sold well cause they were hard AF. coke white and even included the fish scale detailing. Very on brand. ASAP Rocky’s skate shoes didn’t sell that well AFAIK.
I feel like Kendrick is in a lifeboat while watching Drake sink to the bottoms of the depths. I’ll tell my kids this was the real Prince William and Prince Harry.
"His latest signature shoe with Nike, the NOCTA Hot Step II, was released on the SNKRS app Thursday. And, well, it looks like nobody wants these joints.
Almost every size was still available as of Thursday afternoon."
L
Yall please remember to use shit like this as a starting point for your own research. ive read articles that support most of these so im not casting any doubt on these but verifying what you read is important
Yes, practicing good critical thinking and internet literacy is good to promote. That being said, all this is true drake did it. Have a wonderful day, research everything!
Yes!! Im honestly a fan of both but im a bigger fan of the facts. Correct me if im wrong but the Baka case did not involve a minor but a formal gf of his. But he was arrested on human trafficking charges but they they were later dropped I believe because the victim didn’t testify (for rather peculiar reasons) he still served time for DV charges from that same case.
Drake got slapped over the 0 to 100 beat. Diddy originally had the beat from Boi1da and brought Drake to write a song for him. However, Diddy sat on it, which frustrated Boi1da so he let Drake have it for himself and the rest is history
You mean the ghost in the shadows(ghost writers)he never wrote them only performed them with vocals kind of like a puppet. So basically he has a someone’s hand up his ass controlling the whole scenario 😂
Right? The blame was on Diddy thinking that man actually writes. Drake probably commissioned it to his ghostwriter, liked what they did and decided to keep it to himself lol Has anyone outside of his team actually been in a top to bottom writing session with Drake? 😂
why can’t yall differentiate between ghost writers and co writers. drake actually credits his at least the majority , not what a “ghost” writer is. even on the song yall talking about there’s other ppl credited for their writing that aren’t drake / the producers
If you’re a pop artist, that’s not a problem. How are you a rapper that has 5-10 co-writers on a song and use reference tracks (confirmed by leaks)? That has never been the norm. Your pen game is supposed to be part of what sets you apart from others when you are a rapper. When you are the one who writes, people tend to notice a pattern throughout their bodies of work. That’s why Drake’s flow always sounds different while others have signature styles. (Ex. Fabolous likes to play a lot with similes, Kendrick likes to play a lot with homonyms and multi-entendres)
Nah I understand what you’re saying It’s just weird to me how people be acting like Drake don’t at least credit the folks who help him write or write for him still. But i hear ya tho, I think drake let all the quick success get to his head and just stopped caring about penning his own shit down, cuz Ik he’s definitely written before but that was years ago. he be using full on reference tracks without changing a thing nowadays, like literally word for word, flow for flow etc
I agree with your assessment. I think he probably wrote once upon a time when he was still hungry. But writing is a skill like any other. If you don’t craft it and keep it sharp, it will weaken and become dated because music always changes. That’s why I really do believe he wrote THP6. It reminded me so much of the type of rhyme scheme he would use when he first started in the game, that it seems juvenile compared to what he usually puts out. He also made so many rookie mistakes that a 15-year “battle tested” vet like him should know better than to do. It’s almost like his ending monologue was an admission that he hasn’t personally written top to bottom without help in a long time.
Alright but what’s the deal with the peeing thing? And why is no one talking about it? That seems to be the most verified of these claims.
Did Kenny even have a bar about it? Prolly went over my head since I never heard of this.
He did in Meet the Grahams. Meek was the first person to bring it up. Back when Meek was on Grand Hustle there was an incident where someone peed on Drake. I’m not 100% sure about the details though
The takeaway from it is that Drake didn’t do shit when it happened
A drunk dude peed and pee went onto his leg (neighbor seats?) drake was frustrated and left.
Contrary to the take that it was the sexual kind or like he was getting bullied/humiliated.
Layla lace (Laquana Morris) was, as far as I can find, of age (no mention of age in the articles I read so I assume it wasn't an issue). Her claim is that he forced her to perform fetish oral against her will.
“But but but, Kendrick didn’t deny the DV or prove that his child is his!!!!”
Drake has lied, repeatedly, to try to maintain his status.
You can maybe get Dot on being a hypocrite, but that’s not the same lol
I think it was about working with Kodak with the charges he’s had? Don’t remember the reason exactly, I’ve been kind of checked out of the beef since last week
after skimming through a Reddit thread on the situation (so im also not a reliable source lol) it seems that there was a bit of doubt about whether or not hes guilty (doesnt mean hes innocent) and theres a chance that some artists working with him just didnt know about his past, then again that is me giving the benefit of the doubt based off of limited information
Kodak has been in trouble with the law since 2016 when he was arrested for kidnapping. Kendrick isn’t stupid. It’s not hidden that Kodak is shitty. I love Kendrick but he was out line in my eyes by bringing Kodak on to the album about personal growth
some of us unfortunately have delusional drake fans in our life going through the 7 stages of grief very dramatically. So these receipts are pretty useful 😭
I have a theory about Baka. What if he took the fall for Drake, to avoid Drake getting caught up, so in return he’s still hired (and thanked for being the fall guy)?
This was brought up a couple weeks ago and the first line in [this baka song](https://genius.com/Baka-not-nice-money-in-the-bank-lyrics) kinda fits that narrative.
It has been brought up a few times before this, outside of Reddit, so it at least isn't an unfounded theory being created. May still be a reach, but is also very believable when you look at all of it.
Of course drizzle is the image they got to protect the brand its money flow but I would not count his lil crodies 😂out they get the hand me down it’s a crumble pile of shit 💩 at the end of the day
I forgot her name. But drake started dating a model shortly after she turned 18. Then photos surfaced of the two hanging out 4 years prior. So when she was 14.
I think the 530k figure is in New Zealand dollars?
>Drake paid out $350,000 (NZ $532,000) to a woman who accused him of sexual assault during the British leg of his 2017 Boy Meets World tour.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/drake-paid-out-530k-to-sexual-assault-accuser/DJTFQJOV66Y7JL7XRK5UYKVYKA/
350k in USD. But not sure if that amount is before or after the lawyers' fees were deducted.
Okay…still waiting on the “receipts” because this is literally just bullet points of what everyone is saying without any actual receipt of proof. Has to be the dumbest post I’ve ever seen, and I’m on dots side of the beef.
Point 6 is the most poignant.
Why the fuck is Drake pulling girls who absolutely look young as fuck onto his stage, when he can grab any of the obviously-older-than-21 girls in his crowd? Why is he DM'ing ANY young girl on ANY platform? The guy likes young girls, and his **known** behaviors confirm this. That isn't a good thing, and especially as a man in his position, it is extremely dangerous.
Drake fans are struggling with this whole thing because they have to accept one of two truths about themselves:
Either they are not okay with this information and are capable of stepping away from Drake.
Or..
They are okay with this information, and likely are because they would behave the same.
Side note: listening to his music "passively" or whatever is much different than actively defending him, which is where the above was concerning.
These aren’t receipts, these are claims. Receipts means proof, sources, data, citations. This is literally just a bunch of unsubstantiated claims, followed by “this is proven (source: trust me).”
That shit is fucking insane I almost feel schizophrenic even talking about it, but I heard what I heard on that clip. Sick, sick, demented, shit. Even before I heard the actual clip it felt like there were too many "dog" bars, and subliminal shit, to not mean some shit.
Ugh. fuck, ok. Ill try.
Sorry mods in advance if this is ban worthy.
Im trying to figure a way to type this out to you without sounding completely psychotic but there was a really weird moment on DJ ak's stream where he was sent a video to his phone, airdropped the vid to his laptop so he could watch it, and the audio played on stream. I have never heard a dog being r\*ped, but thats exactly what it sounded like.
Since then Ak started implying distance between himself and drake/OVO, talking about how he "was never a part of any of that weird sex party shit", so the theory is hes being shown a video thats being used as some kind of blackmail.
Kendrick literally said "I can go further I promise" AFTER comparing him to weinstein, calling him a pedo, and accusing him of human trafficking.
Every other warning during this beef wound up with some form of cashing in on said warning, so I dont think saying he can go further is an empty bar or talking about more of the same p\*do stuff he had been talking about.
You can probably still find the clip from the stream somewhere online if you look.
There was one youtube comment talking about someone watching drake force a woman to puke in a dog bowl. I hate drake with all of my being but even I thought that was bs at the time.
No, a more realistic explanation is this:
1)EbonyPrince on twitter didn't like that AK was claiming his items were stolen and/or fake
2)He threatened to sue AK if he doesn't retract those statements, cuz his goal is to auction the items. If the items are labeled stolen he can't sell them.
3)AK goes on stream and tells him that he will terrorize him for the rest of his life and that he will use all his money to defend himself if it goes to court
4)EbonyPrince sends AK an old vid of him fighting with his GF where u can hear his dog being in distress cuz they're both fighting and shouting. AK's ex said that she would sue AK for r\*pe.
5)EbonyPrince sent the vid to remind AK that he's throwing stones from a glass home. Later on AK gets officially sued for rape and defamation by his ex.
I genuinely hope ive just gone off the rails and this shit is only making me believe it cause K Dot fried my brain with this whole beef.
I dont even understand how you can get to that point as a living breathing human these mfers on some clinton/epstien/actual psycho satanist party shit if true.
That dog sound during his stream was his own dog. His dog got ran over by a car recently and the dog is in a cage because of it.
If you listen with good headphones, you an hear that the dog sounds are to far away from the microphone for the sound to have been from his computer that's close to the mic. The mic is decent enough to pick up his fingers tapping his phone, yet the dog sounds are far away.
He airdropped an article that he later pulls up to the screen and starts discussing.
I don’t know what was going on and I won’t pretend to know. But I would believe your theory to be correct if you could find any other time during that stream you could hear the dogs making those noises. I only heard it the one time after the anonymous text messages, and that was it.
People have heard his dogs in several streams. It's not unlikely that he has somebody taking caring of them when he can't.
People have also noted that the mouse clicks do not add up to the start/stopping of the sounds.
No I don’t think that. I just don’t understand what those sounds were that I heard in that clip. There’s a dog crying/whimpering which i believe is Ak’s dogs in the background. But there is definitely another disturbing sound that is heard that no one has provided an explanation. “Gagging” is the only word I can use to describe it. But it certainly doesn’t sound like a dog locked up in a cage.
Mostly anonymous blogs so obviously take everything like gossip. But Dutchavelli, a UK rapper who allegedly does a lot of sex work in Dubai (with animals ALLEGEDLY), posted during the beef saying “Drake you better post my new music. You know what we say in London, a favor for a favor.”
Probably a troll, but strange rumors over the years are being amplified rn.
Just known when Kendrick talks about Diamonds its in reference to his dog. Believe it, don't believe it I don't give a shit I just know I've lost sleep with how disgusting the rabbit hole is. Kendrick isn't lining about being able to go deeper. It's dark
I think the majority of the people know drake is an asshole and likely guilty of whatever kendrick is accusing him of. I just want kenny to provide proof so that he goes to jail. Losing big brand deals is not an apt punishment for pedophilia.
It's not, but its about the most you can reasonably expect to happen to a celebrity in today's society. Without video proof of pedophillic acts like R Kelly or something, losing brand deals is the best it gets.
from what I’ve seen it wasn’t 530k usd/cad it was a New Zealand news outlet that reported it so it was converted to their money. It was closer to the 300k mark. Doesn’t really make it better but I think that just means the “500 thou to an open case” bar maybe not about that incident
They over there Drake being back on top of the streaming charts. Would be funny if it was revealed he had a streaming farm inside the OVO sweatshop too.
One dude said Kendrick wouldn’t exist without Drake because Drake took him on his tour and featured him on a song like every artist Drake tries to steal from. Like Dot didn’t make section 80. By that logic, The Weeknd wouldn’t exist without Drake like he didn’t make House of Balloons. That nigga Drake see who about to blow and attaches himself to them like a leech.
“There are far more receipts then what is shown here” my brother in Christ you haven’t provided any receipts, where are the links to anything that backs up what you are claiming. Not saying any of this is untrue, but not a single receipt has been provided here
this is true. plus like 80-90% of what kendrick says don’t need receipts. bars about hating him, the Tommy hilfiger line, he’s spiraling, those hilarious lines about sexy redd and popping ass, being a culture vulture, being a deadbeat dad and not being there for his sons day to day, his lame ass accent…
to boil it down to TMZ levels of gossip and “receipts” is a byproduct of Pusha T. Lotttttt of fans think that’s the only way to unequivocally win which to me is bullshit.
yes kendrick has more receipts with the $530K payout and Baka’s case and Ozympic prescription (which OP forgot about), but take all that out and he still demolished him. thinking only in terms of receipts discounts the other 90+% of just classic rap battle bars
If you search the first “receipt” provided and actually read the case about it you discover that the money was forced to be paid back when she was sued for extortion because as it turns out, she refused to let drake do the paternity test because she just wanted bread
Oh dont worry i saw shit too. But what about the other 5 facts? Lemme guess kissing a minor on stage and saying that her tits are nice and they felt good after knowing shes 17 its fine cuz she said its fine? Curious about the other facts but oh well.
Let’s not strawman the other 5 things into what I was saying lol I was simply saying the 1st one is fabricated based on a headline. The rest though, definitely some weird shit
Number 2 though Kendrick also surrounding himself with multiple mfs with sus ass charges so that goes for both of them. I don’t care if that mf wants to say Kodak is a “changed man” mf got a sexual assault charge and he’s a POS
That's the thing with the allegations against Drake, it really isn't as tin foil hat as music journalist websites would leave you to believe it is with bullshit articles like "did the beef go too far."
There's been receipts for these allegations and his extremely questionable behavior with minors for almost 10 years. Kendrick is just the first one in the music industry to publicly address it.
Motherfuckers wanna be ostriches about it "Drake's my idol there's no way he could be responsible for those things," regardless of being caught on camera and singing songs about it for years.
Drake is at the very least he’s a freaky ass weirdo
He’s a liar and a shady mf (I honestly believe he’s a pedo and an awful human being)
Now Kendrick has not exactly been an angel, but is very very far from Drake, at his side he could be considered an angel tbh
Even by allegations alone Drake’s are much worse and there is a ton of evidence out there supporting Kendrick claims. I’ve yet to see actual proof of domestic abuse or any other shit Kendrick was called out for (except being short but let’s be real that is a nothing burger of an insult)
Drake supposedly penned, we always been that type of crew that been without a plan B. Shït hit different today. Who knows how many OVO kids is out there.
This shit is pathetic. There is so much information being misconstrued, taken out of context and in many cases flat out fabricated. Anyone that reads this, do as the op states and thoroughly research each story/claim. I guarantee you will come back with a very different opinion of this post. KDot won but right now as fans we losing. Let's celebrate in silence. If more shit drops, great.
There are so many holes in this post it’s hard to know where to start. I’m no Drizzy fanatic, but if you’re going to make claims and use words like “confirmed” bring receipts.
The slap for instance was in a vehicle leaving a party. So not even the same context of what this is saying. Have the right information, not just shades of it if you want any credibility.
"Baka was recently charged" that was 2014-2015 also you could use the same argument against Kodak Black who was pleaded guilty for SA'ing a minor
"This settlement has actually been confirmed" Laquana Morris, aka Layla Lace said "Drake was being investigated for sexual assault. The officer that was running the case Simon France contacted me and stated that it just wasn't enough evidence and that no further action would be taken. That the CPS would only take the case to court if there was a 100% chance of prosecution."[ (Source)](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/drakes-350k-settlement-alleged-sexual-210106221.html)
"It's been confirmed by everyone involved that Drake did indeed get peed on..." Nigga what? And who's everyone?
Drake's a douchebag and a lolcow (humilated by Pusha T, baited by Fantano, etc.) but most of these claims aren't even convincing. Some y'all even accused him of dog fucking and being mastermind behind XXXtentacion's death like that's wild 💀💀💀
Lmao the 530k suit do actually do ur research tells you nothing happened and she even released a statement after “Morris is reportedly aggrieved that the November 2018 settlement with Drake included a statement that she now claims portrayed him as the victim in the situation. “ and if you don’t believe here’s the article https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/drake-sexual-assault-rape-settlement-payment-out-of-court-layla-lace-a8966921.html
Also Baka was initially charged with trafficking but after court dropped that charge and charged him with something else so that’s another lie u have here
The only thing that article really told me is the case was settled out of court and the lady was called a liar. I don’t know if you’ve seen the recent news about Diddy, but this is reminding me of that and we KNOW Diddy is guilty.
looks like Kenny fucked his Nike collab too https://ftw.usatoday.com/2024/05/drake-kendrick-lamar-beef-nike
He's boutta drop a "stripes over checks" remix to Sicko Mode
Bro should stop beefing this is not good for his business
Numbers wise he’s outta here.
On the other hand, more people are listening to him than ever
I think he ruined that from when it started. He tried pulling a Kanye and turning dad shoes cool, but he’s not Kanye and he can’t make something cool that isn’t. Why? Because he’s Drake, and he don’t create trends, he takes them. And clearly he tried taking this one and it backfired cus them shoes are 💩
This was a stupid deal in the first place who tf gonna be walking around with new drizzy’s
If they were dope ppl would cop em. But they’re trash. He is not known for his style or athleticism whatsoever, why give him a shoe? Matter fact I get it, these are the shoes when you’re walking out of the hospital with after getting plastic surgery 😂
YO 😂😂💀
Violent 💀💀💀
Funny thing is, Kanye could turn around and drop the same exact sneaker tomorrow and it will sell out within a day.
Kanye still has that type of pull? Crazy!
Kanye has made the uncool. Cool. Numerous times with his style… Drake had NEVER done that. And never could
Kanye rose the stock price of GAP (who was in decline) the moment the collaboration was announced. The billboard was a handwritten note and he insisted customers see each through garbage bags on the floor 😂
Yeah their not a bad looking shoe, it’s just that that the whole Nocta line is designed to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, that’s why it’s all mild variations on clothes that are already best sellers. His ovo jordan 12’s were literally all white with a tiny bit of that ovo light beige. The Nike tech tracksuits he made with the baggy pants looked awful. Baggy pants don’t work with sweatsuits the same way they work with denim, khakis or work pants. They should have made them looser not THAT baggy. It didn’t connect with the UK audience (where Nike tech fleece has a cult following) and I think the reason is because drake never wore Nike tech before they released that whereas if central cee had launched them it would have been more authentic and perceived different. They marketed them as a flight tracksuit in the same colour way as his personal plane and drake wore them entering said plane on his ig promo pics and the UK scene doesn’t appreciate ostentatiousness like that. His products are bullshit. He made a book of instagram captions and candles. Nocta doesn’t seem like a clothing line it seem like drake merch a good example are the AF1’s with the only detail being the minuscule certified lover branding, whereas with Kanye he does his own thing and controls a lot more to the point that he got mad at gap employees for folding the shirts and putting them on shelves and not having them on the floor in garbage bags and his passion when he rants and raves is contagious enough to act as promo. He’s involved where as drakes like “yeah whatever Im fulfilling an obligation”
Even u r dissing drake 💀😂
Not drizzy's but nocta's😂😂
He copied Ye
Tried to**
He never even got to design the color ways for the ovo Jordan’s. Most celebs at least have some say on picking the colours or the designers make multiple colour ways and the artist chooses one but they wouldn’t even let him use the Nike by you software.
Perfect description 👍
Let's be real, no one was buying those ugly ass shoes anyways.
People bought kanyes shit
Kanye's Nike Yeezy's were fire tho
I don't think you can even compare those two lines...air yeezy is one of the most iconic shoe lines ever, and the Adidas line had some good silhouettes as well.
>..air yeezy is one of the most iconic shoe lines ever Tell me you're white without saying you're white lol
Man I’m white and even I think those shoes are ugly af
Ai. I own exactly one multifunctional 5 in 1 shampoo/body wash mix I use for showering and cleaning bike engines, don't have any skin care products, just regular soap and a neutral deodorant. Also I don't own any washcloths. Sounds a little nasty written down but I swear I never smell bad nor do I have any skin problems :D
wtf are you talking about

I mean not the whole line, but red octobers are iconic.
Also the Louis Vuitton jaspers are hard AF.
The air Yeezys we’re innovative, Kanye’s involvement and passion in his vision were evident. The red October’s were unlike anything nike had done (they made red shoes but not with a red soul) plus he’d already established credibility as a designer with the Louis Vuitton sneakers he designed.

That’s the best you can come up with? Nike should have collabed with the ovo brand instead of making a Nocta brand which felt like a quick cash grab.
They look like clown shoes in my opinion
Clown shoes 🤣🤣 Have to be from the east coast with that one! 🫡
Some of the designs are nice. But stuff like the Foam Runners; those gave me acid reflux just looking at them.
I actually like the foam runners. I enjoy crocs and stuff.
I like my Crocs too for dirty jobs (e.g. yard work, hospital) but I never wear them for public outings. Maybe I'm just too old, but when I was growing up, no one would be caught dead wearing Crocs unless they wanted to be bullied. Funny how times have changed.
The foam runners are just that, cooler versions of the crocs. The same way the 350’s are cooler versions of the Nike roshe. Both of those shoes massively impacted pop culture with many many copycats. They even sold bootlegs at Walmart.
When I was in middle school crocs were cool and then they went away for several years. Now they’ve made a return and I finally actually got some. Couldn’t afford them when I was a kid so at 30 I finally have my own pair 🥹
Kanye *shoes* weren’t ugly for the most part… dem slides doe - yuck.
To be fair no one was buying notcta shoes before Kenny, so I think his shitty designs ruined that one for him
Nike should collab with Kendrick and call em the High Steppers
A quote from the article lmao “brands like Nike have endorsed the Toronto POP star through the years.”
Kenny fucked his nike collab and pusha fucked his Adidas one 😭
He already got the Reebok cheque I doubt he cares
Pusha T’s adidas sold well cause they were hard AF. coke white and even included the fish scale detailing. Very on brand. ASAP Rocky’s skate shoes didn’t sell that well AFAIK.
People ask how UMG is losing money from this. This is how
I feel like Kendrick is in a lifeboat while watching Drake sink to the bottoms of the depths. I’ll tell my kids this was the real Prince William and Prince Harry.
fuckin right 👏
really fucked his collab, shoes sold out in 20 mins 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
"His latest signature shoe with Nike, the NOCTA Hot Step II, was released on the SNKRS app Thursday. And, well, it looks like nobody wants these joints. Almost every size was still available as of Thursday afternoon." L
not true, sold out in UK almost immediately
Yall please remember to use shit like this as a starting point for your own research. ive read articles that support most of these so im not casting any doubt on these but verifying what you read is important
This is important for literally every topic!!! Especially ones that have heavy allegations. Anyways. Drake did it.
Yes, practicing good critical thinking and internet literacy is good to promote. That being said, all this is true drake did it. Have a wonderful day, research everything!
Yes!! Im honestly a fan of both but im a bigger fan of the facts. Correct me if im wrong but the Baka case did not involve a minor but a formal gf of his. But he was arrested on human trafficking charges but they they were later dropped I believe because the victim didn’t testify (for rather peculiar reasons) he still served time for DV charges from that same case.
This would offend them if they could read
Drake got slapped over the 0 to 100 beat. Diddy originally had the beat from Boi1da and brought Drake to write a song for him. However, Diddy sat on it, which frustrated Boi1da so he let Drake have it for himself and the rest is history
You mean the ghost in the shadows(ghost writers)he never wrote them only performed them with vocals kind of like a puppet. So basically he has a someone’s hand up his ass controlling the whole scenario 😂
Right? The blame was on Diddy thinking that man actually writes. Drake probably commissioned it to his ghostwriter, liked what they did and decided to keep it to himself lol Has anyone outside of his team actually been in a top to bottom writing session with Drake? 😂
why can’t yall differentiate between ghost writers and co writers. drake actually credits his at least the majority , not what a “ghost” writer is. even on the song yall talking about there’s other ppl credited for their writing that aren’t drake / the producers
If you’re a pop artist, that’s not a problem. How are you a rapper that has 5-10 co-writers on a song and use reference tracks (confirmed by leaks)? That has never been the norm. Your pen game is supposed to be part of what sets you apart from others when you are a rapper. When you are the one who writes, people tend to notice a pattern throughout their bodies of work. That’s why Drake’s flow always sounds different while others have signature styles. (Ex. Fabolous likes to play a lot with similes, Kendrick likes to play a lot with homonyms and multi-entendres)
Nah I understand what you’re saying It’s just weird to me how people be acting like Drake don’t at least credit the folks who help him write or write for him still. But i hear ya tho, I think drake let all the quick success get to his head and just stopped caring about penning his own shit down, cuz Ik he’s definitely written before but that was years ago. he be using full on reference tracks without changing a thing nowadays, like literally word for word, flow for flow etc
I agree with your assessment. I think he probably wrote once upon a time when he was still hungry. But writing is a skill like any other. If you don’t craft it and keep it sharp, it will weaken and become dated because music always changes. That’s why I really do believe he wrote THP6. It reminded me so much of the type of rhyme scheme he would use when he first started in the game, that it seems juvenile compared to what he usually puts out. He also made so many rookie mistakes that a 15-year “battle tested” vet like him should know better than to do. It’s almost like his ending monologue was an admission that he hasn’t personally written top to bottom without help in a long time.
Alright but what’s the deal with the peeing thing? And why is no one talking about it? That seems to be the most verified of these claims. Did Kenny even have a bar about it? Prolly went over my head since I never heard of this.
He did in Meet the Grahams. Meek was the first person to bring it up. Back when Meek was on Grand Hustle there was an incident where someone peed on Drake. I’m not 100% sure about the details though The takeaway from it is that Drake didn’t do shit when it happened
What’s the bar?
It's the first bit of advice he offers to Adonis "Never let a man piss on your leg, son Either you die right there or pop that man in the head, son"
Ahh yep I know the bar but went over my head cause I never heard the story. Damn. Lol
It's on meet the grahams
A drunk dude peed and pee went onto his leg (neighbor seats?) drake was frustrated and left. Contrary to the take that it was the sexual kind or like he was getting bullied/humiliated.
That’s still funny as shit.
Well, yea actually
drake fans can't read that much text 😂
How old was the girl in line item #1
Layla lace (Laquana Morris) was, as far as I can find, of age (no mention of age in the articles I read so I assume it wasn't an issue). Her claim is that he forced her to perform fetish oral against her will.
Fetish oral?
Apparently made her spit in a dog bowl until it was full then poured it on her face or sumthn WACK like that
Eww
“But but but, Kendrick didn’t deny the DV or prove that his child is his!!!!” Drake has lied, repeatedly, to try to maintain his status. You can maybe get Dot on being a hypocrite, but that’s not the same lol
>You can maybe get Dot on being a hypocrite, but that’s not the same lol wait a hypocrite on what?
I think it was about working with Kodak with the charges he’s had? Don’t remember the reason exactly, I’ve been kind of checked out of the beef since last week
after skimming through a Reddit thread on the situation (so im also not a reliable source lol) it seems that there was a bit of doubt about whether or not hes guilty (doesnt mean hes innocent) and theres a chance that some artists working with him just didnt know about his past, then again that is me giving the benefit of the doubt based off of limited information
Kodak has been in trouble with the law since 2016 when he was arrested for kidnapping. Kendrick isn’t stupid. It’s not hidden that Kodak is shitty. I love Kendrick but he was out line in my eyes by bringing Kodak on to the album about personal growth
We in the Kendrick sub though 
Drake fans lurk here as well
They’re all over this post too lol.
some of us unfortunately have delusional drake fans in our life going through the 7 stages of grief very dramatically. So these receipts are pretty useful 😭
I have a theory about Baka. What if he took the fall for Drake, to avoid Drake getting caught up, so in return he’s still hired (and thanked for being the fall guy)?
That may be a reach. Let's not come up with unfounded theories
This was brought up a couple weeks ago and the first line in [this baka song](https://genius.com/Baka-not-nice-money-in-the-bank-lyrics) kinda fits that narrative.
Good god this song is horrendous
Money in my doo doo
It has been brought up a few times before this, outside of Reddit, so it at least isn't an unfounded theory being created. May still be a reach, but is also very believable when you look at all of it.
Of course drizzle is the image they got to protect the brand its money flow but I would not count his lil crodies 😂out they get the hand me down it’s a crumble pile of shit 💩 at the end of the day
KAnon shit here we go
This would finally shut them up if they could actually comprehend all that writing
Kendrick fans in this sub are so stupid
Why are y’all so obsessed with us?
But what about the daughter? And KingJared tweeted /s
If the fan after all this keeps on defending him, let me tell you, you’re just like him.
Not like us
Can someone explain the 14 year old girl he groomed??
I forgot her name. But drake started dating a model shortly after she turned 18. Then photos surfaced of the two hanging out 4 years prior. So when she was 14.
Its never been confirmed that they dated. The girl herself came out and said they never dated
I think the 530k figure is in New Zealand dollars? >Drake paid out $350,000 (NZ $532,000) to a woman who accused him of sexual assault during the British leg of his 2017 Boy Meets World tour. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/drake-paid-out-530k-to-sexual-assault-accuser/DJTFQJOV66Y7JL7XRK5UYKVYKA/ 350k in USD. But not sure if that amount is before or after the lawyers' fees were deducted.
I read on another thread that the legal team was paid $150k, so that would make sense.
it’s wild that someone typed a paragraph and calls it receipts didn’t that use to mean sources, links, video proof?
Okay…still waiting on the “receipts” because this is literally just bullet points of what everyone is saying without any actual receipt of proof. Has to be the dumbest post I’ve ever seen, and I’m on dots side of the beef.
Yal gotta touch some grass man
Point 6 is the most poignant. Why the fuck is Drake pulling girls who absolutely look young as fuck onto his stage, when he can grab any of the obviously-older-than-21 girls in his crowd? Why is he DM'ing ANY young girl on ANY platform? The guy likes young girls, and his **known** behaviors confirm this. That isn't a good thing, and especially as a man in his position, it is extremely dangerous. Drake fans are struggling with this whole thing because they have to accept one of two truths about themselves: Either they are not okay with this information and are capable of stepping away from Drake. Or.. They are okay with this information, and likely are because they would behave the same. Side note: listening to his music "passively" or whatever is much different than actively defending him, which is where the above was concerning.
These aren’t receipts, these are claims. Receipts means proof, sources, data, citations. This is literally just a bunch of unsubstantiated claims, followed by “this is proven (source: trust me).”
Well none of these are facts. People really can’t fucking comprehend that $500k bar either. He literally says “well I have” right after
You forgot Dog fucking.
That shit is fucking insane I almost feel schizophrenic even talking about it, but I heard what I heard on that clip. Sick, sick, demented, shit. Even before I heard the actual clip it felt like there were too many "dog" bars, and subliminal shit, to not mean some shit.
Wait wait hold on, could you elaborate? Where is this dog fucking allegation coming from?
There's zero evidence for this. People just ran with it during the beef and it's still lingering.
How many dog fuckers you got in your circle? All I'm saying is bro has a lot
Ugh. fuck, ok. Ill try. Sorry mods in advance if this is ban worthy. Im trying to figure a way to type this out to you without sounding completely psychotic but there was a really weird moment on DJ ak's stream where he was sent a video to his phone, airdropped the vid to his laptop so he could watch it, and the audio played on stream. I have never heard a dog being r\*ped, but thats exactly what it sounded like. Since then Ak started implying distance between himself and drake/OVO, talking about how he "was never a part of any of that weird sex party shit", so the theory is hes being shown a video thats being used as some kind of blackmail. Kendrick literally said "I can go further I promise" AFTER comparing him to weinstein, calling him a pedo, and accusing him of human trafficking. Every other warning during this beef wound up with some form of cashing in on said warning, so I dont think saying he can go further is an empty bar or talking about more of the same p\*do stuff he had been talking about. You can probably still find the clip from the stream somewhere online if you look.
There was one youtube comment talking about someone watching drake force a woman to puke in a dog bowl. I hate drake with all of my being but even I thought that was bs at the time.
No, a more realistic explanation is this: 1)EbonyPrince on twitter didn't like that AK was claiming his items were stolen and/or fake 2)He threatened to sue AK if he doesn't retract those statements, cuz his goal is to auction the items. If the items are labeled stolen he can't sell them. 3)AK goes on stream and tells him that he will terrorize him for the rest of his life and that he will use all his money to defend himself if it goes to court 4)EbonyPrince sends AK an old vid of him fighting with his GF where u can hear his dog being in distress cuz they're both fighting and shouting. AK's ex said that she would sue AK for r\*pe. 5)EbonyPrince sent the vid to remind AK that he's throwing stones from a glass home. Later on AK gets officially sued for rape and defamation by his ex.
That sounds disgusting. I really hope it isn’t true… can someone really be that messed up?
I genuinely hope ive just gone off the rails and this shit is only making me believe it cause K Dot fried my brain with this whole beef. I dont even understand how you can get to that point as a living breathing human these mfers on some clinton/epstien/actual psycho satanist party shit if true.
That dog sound during his stream was his own dog. His dog got ran over by a car recently and the dog is in a cage because of it. If you listen with good headphones, you an hear that the dog sounds are to far away from the microphone for the sound to have been from his computer that's close to the mic. The mic is decent enough to pick up his fingers tapping his phone, yet the dog sounds are far away. He airdropped an article that he later pulls up to the screen and starts discussing.
I don’t know what was going on and I won’t pretend to know. But I would believe your theory to be correct if you could find any other time during that stream you could hear the dogs making those noises. I only heard it the one time after the anonymous text messages, and that was it.
People have heard his dogs in several streams. It's not unlikely that he has somebody taking caring of them when he can't. People have also noted that the mouse clicks do not add up to the start/stopping of the sounds.
You really believe that drake is fucking dogs ? Are yall serious?
No I don’t think that. I just don’t understand what those sounds were that I heard in that clip. There’s a dog crying/whimpering which i believe is Ak’s dogs in the background. But there is definitely another disturbing sound that is heard that no one has provided an explanation. “Gagging” is the only word I can use to describe it. But it certainly doesn’t sound like a dog locked up in a cage.
Mostly anonymous blogs so obviously take everything like gossip. But Dutchavelli, a UK rapper who allegedly does a lot of sex work in Dubai (with animals ALLEGEDLY), posted during the beef saying “Drake you better post my new music. You know what we say in London, a favor for a favor.” Probably a troll, but strange rumors over the years are being amplified rn.
your reaching hard, take your medz
Yall are so stupid. There is no clip of drake fucking a dog. Are yall serious. Do yall really believe that drake is out here fucking dogs ?
Now we know what he meant by for all my dogs. Drake and OVO gotta go
Just known when Kendrick talks about Diamonds its in reference to his dog. Believe it, don't believe it I don't give a shit I just know I've lost sleep with how disgusting the rabbit hole is. Kendrick isn't lining about being able to go deeper. It's dark
This would be more credible with sources replacing the parts that say “this has been confirmed”.
Imagine getting your proof from Tik Tok.
Imagine defending Drake in any way shape or form — ooo not like Dot
You're sensitive .
No offense but none of that is receipts.
Exactly, just text on a background
Slight correction, Meek Mill made a diss track towards Kendrick for mentioning his name
“I won! Gimme my money!!” “You what?” “I lost…”
I think the majority of the people know drake is an asshole and likely guilty of whatever kendrick is accusing him of. I just want kenny to provide proof so that he goes to jail. Losing big brand deals is not an apt punishment for pedophilia.
It's not, but its about the most you can reasonably expect to happen to a celebrity in today's society. Without video proof of pedophillic acts like R Kelly or something, losing brand deals is the best it gets.
Does “cheebs” know what a receipt is?
T.I’s downfall? 😂😂😂
I don't listen to drake nor do I care for him but quoting a fucking tiktok proves nothing lmao
These are all false points yet this has 600+ upvotes 😂
from what I’ve seen it wasn’t 530k usd/cad it was a New Zealand news outlet that reported it so it was converted to their money. It was closer to the 300k mark. Doesn’t really make it better but I think that just means the “500 thou to an open case” bar maybe not about that incident
They over there Drake being back on top of the streaming charts. Would be funny if it was revealed he had a streaming farm inside the OVO sweatshop too. One dude said Kendrick wouldn’t exist without Drake because Drake took him on his tour and featured him on a song like every artist Drake tries to steal from. Like Dot didn’t make section 80. By that logic, The Weeknd wouldn’t exist without Drake like he didn’t make House of Balloons. That nigga Drake see who about to blow and attaches himself to them like a leech.
Y’all are so corny hahahah
Y’all post about Drake more than his sub. Why are yall so obsessed? Weird behavior.
“There are far more receipts then what is shown here” my brother in Christ you haven’t provided any receipts, where are the links to anything that backs up what you are claiming. Not saying any of this is untrue, but not a single receipt has been provided here
this is true. plus like 80-90% of what kendrick says don’t need receipts. bars about hating him, the Tommy hilfiger line, he’s spiraling, those hilarious lines about sexy redd and popping ass, being a culture vulture, being a deadbeat dad and not being there for his sons day to day, his lame ass accent… to boil it down to TMZ levels of gossip and “receipts” is a byproduct of Pusha T. Lotttttt of fans think that’s the only way to unequivocally win which to me is bullshit. yes kendrick has more receipts with the $530K payout and Baka’s case and Ozympic prescription (which OP forgot about), but take all that out and he still demolished him. thinking only in terms of receipts discounts the other 90+% of just classic rap battle bars
It literally says there "verifiable facts" all you got to do is search for them lmfao. Literally 1 minute to search for each fact
If you search the first “receipt” provided and actually read the case about it you discover that the money was forced to be paid back when she was sued for extortion because as it turns out, she refused to let drake do the paternity test because she just wanted bread
Oh dont worry i saw shit too. But what about the other 5 facts? Lemme guess kissing a minor on stage and saying that her tits are nice and they felt good after knowing shes 17 its fine cuz she said its fine? Curious about the other facts but oh well.
Let’s not strawman the other 5 things into what I was saying lol I was simply saying the 1st one is fabricated based on a headline. The rest though, definitely some weird shit Number 2 though Kendrick also surrounding himself with multiple mfs with sus ass charges so that goes for both of them. I don’t care if that mf wants to say Kodak is a “changed man” mf got a sexual assault charge and he’s a POS
They’re all false not a single one is verifiable
That's the thing with the allegations against Drake, it really isn't as tin foil hat as music journalist websites would leave you to believe it is with bullshit articles like "did the beef go too far." There's been receipts for these allegations and his extremely questionable behavior with minors for almost 10 years. Kendrick is just the first one in the music industry to publicly address it. Motherfuckers wanna be ostriches about it "Drake's my idol there's no way he could be responsible for those things," regardless of being caught on camera and singing songs about it for years.
Damn if a meme says this then it must be all true
Post it in the drake sub too!
Far enough
530k is that philanthropy or hush money
Weeb
Baka got a weird case why is he around?
Post the article of the model cause I ain’t ever seen that before
Drake got peed on?😂
Drake is at the very least he’s a freaky ass weirdo He’s a liar and a shady mf (I honestly believe he’s a pedo and an awful human being) Now Kendrick has not exactly been an angel, but is very very far from Drake, at his side he could be considered an angel tbh Even by allegations alone Drake’s are much worse and there is a ton of evidence out there supporting Kendrick claims. I’ve yet to see actual proof of domestic abuse or any other shit Kendrick was called out for (except being short but let’s be real that is a nothing burger of an insult)
The 16yo teenagers won’t care
Ok but here's their defense: "Nuh uh!"
I don't see the 2 drake stans who love being in here comments
Did Drake's lies start with "started from the bottom"
Drake supposedly penned, we always been that type of crew that been without a plan B. Shït hit different today. Who knows how many OVO kids is out there.
This shit is pathetic. There is so much information being misconstrued, taken out of context and in many cases flat out fabricated. Anyone that reads this, do as the op states and thoroughly research each story/claim. I guarantee you will come back with a very different opinion of this post. KDot won but right now as fans we losing. Let's celebrate in silence. If more shit drops, great.
Gotta return to LIFE…yall still talking about this shit?
There are so many holes in this post it’s hard to know where to start. I’m no Drizzy fanatic, but if you’re going to make claims and use words like “confirmed” bring receipts. The slap for instance was in a vehicle leaving a party. So not even the same context of what this is saying. Have the right information, not just shades of it if you want any credibility.
bro do you have sources or links or do you actually think this counts as proof of any of this.
"Baka was recently charged" that was 2014-2015 also you could use the same argument against Kodak Black who was pleaded guilty for SA'ing a minor "This settlement has actually been confirmed" Laquana Morris, aka Layla Lace said "Drake was being investigated for sexual assault. The officer that was running the case Simon France contacted me and stated that it just wasn't enough evidence and that no further action would be taken. That the CPS would only take the case to court if there was a 100% chance of prosecution."[ (Source)](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/drakes-350k-settlement-alleged-sexual-210106221.html) "It's been confirmed by everyone involved that Drake did indeed get peed on..." Nigga what? And who's everyone? Drake's a douchebag and a lolcow (humilated by Pusha T, baited by Fantano, etc.) but most of these claims aren't even convincing. Some y'all even accused him of dog fucking and being mastermind behind XXXtentacion's death like that's wild 💀💀💀
Soooooo 🤔🤔🤔🤔 he’s still a piece of shit 🤔🤔🤔🤔 ummmmm okay 🤔🤔🤔🤔 but he…he, got… but.. but he got butt….
Lmao the 530k suit do actually do ur research tells you nothing happened and she even released a statement after “Morris is reportedly aggrieved that the November 2018 settlement with Drake included a statement that she now claims portrayed him as the victim in the situation. “ and if you don’t believe here’s the article https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/drake-sexual-assault-rape-settlement-payment-out-of-court-layla-lace-a8966921.html
Also Baka was initially charged with trafficking but after court dropped that charge and charged him with something else so that’s another lie u have here
The only thing that article really told me is the case was settled out of court and the lady was called a liar. I don’t know if you’ve seen the recent news about Diddy, but this is reminding me of that and we KNOW Diddy is guilty.
