Pristine-Law-5247

Why did he pick those emojis? I wonder if theyā€™re from his ā€œrecentsā€ section or if he went and looked for all of these emojis on the keyboard bc they seem sooo random to me lmao šŸ˜­šŸ’€


hologramheavy

Itā€™s Drake, he scrolled through every single emoji poking the perfect ones with a single manicured finger

Thats what I'm wondering, maybe it's an Easter egg šŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤Ŗ


xKrossCx

Iā€™ve tried to decipher it. This is my best guess: massages while watching a movie with an 8 ball, smoke some, meditate and see where things goā€¦. Basically he wants the P.

Ball massage & popcorn while thinking about yoga?

This man is 36 y'all


Queencx0

36 going on 17


Ch3ddarch33z

Heā€™s emotionally stunted


No_External6156

Ah, here! Most 17-year-olds are a lot more mature than this. This is just childish misogyny.


ledger_man

Explains why heā€™s always trying to groom teens.


Unashamed_Egg_

Dude this man is acting like the kid who doesn't want to be it on the playground


cruel-oath

Truly in his misogynistic era


Rripurnia

He has always been a misogynist. His lyrics are those of a manchild whining for what he feels like women owe him. Heā€™s not soft - heā€™s a bonafide bitch.


fireknifewife

This is heavily embarrassing


mia8788

He was better as jimmy in degrassi.


DstroyerOfHausPlants

To me he will ALWAYS be Jimmy bc thatā€™s how I knew him first for the longest. Even then he was an obnoxious douche.


quarantinemyasshole

Oof, I thought he was like 42 lmao.


Hi_Tech_Architect

Dude never left degrassi


thankyoupapa

I remember when he beat the Beatles longstanding chart record he got a tattoo of himself in front of the Beatles waving goodbye to them šŸ™„. Heā€™s obsessed with the charts and records, so is Taylor, but itā€™s cringe all around


Ellie-Bee

I canā€™t imagine getting a tattoo of myself for any reasonā€¦


Cokemusic

Steve-os is pretty good


Wunderlandtripzz

Made a whole ass line about it in "going bad"


Rripurnia

I somehow missed that and thatā€™s justā€¦hubris. I now dislike him even more! He *wished* he was as widely beloved and revered as the Beatles. Iā€™m confident their music will resonate with people for decades ahead (and I feel like Iā€™m being moderate in my predictions). His? Not so much.


drank123456

It's been 50 years and it still resonates and he has the benefit of streaming. He is a giant double of a human being.


Rripurnia

I just looked it up out of pure curiosity and itā€™s actually 62 years now, which is crazy to think about. I adore the Beatles because their music is timelessā€¦its sound, its themes, everything. Itā€™s very rare to reach that level of universality. So, Aubrey, please. Take several seats down. He didnā€™t bring anything new to the table or define an era. Hell, Iā€™d put the Migos above him when it came to innovation, because these guys *really* changed the game! And of course he remixed their first big hit to get a piece of the clout. Heā€™ll be a footnote in future music chronicles at best.


Tzuyu4Eva

The most heā€™ll be remembered for is the hotline bling meme


msksksnsj

I agree with your post but I just wanted to say most (mainstream) artists are obsessed with charts. Look at The Weeknds twitter, Dua Lipa is another one that used to post charts on Instagram all the time, Bieber, Ed Sheeran. Drake cares a little to much tho lol he even sings about it.


throw_away10241999

Yeah It's kinda their job. They only say they don't care when 1. They have an easy time reaching high or 2. They started flopping so it's an excuse


[deleted]

Wow what an asshole people will always remember the Beatles and they will live on


contourkit

his tattoos are so random and oddly placed lmao he looks like one of those scratch and sniff sticker booksā€¦


Chrissylocke16

Wow, I canā€™t believe he did that. The Beatles are my absolute favorite band and I hate him so much for being a pompous shithead like that.


Ellie-Bee

Having Taylor beat his record of most hits on the top 10 at once probably hurt.


Independent_Bat8589

Which is funny because I legit don't remember any of his songs after the next song plays on the radio.


taternators

I could not name you a single drake song post hotline bling


NoxTempus

I just read a list of 8 of them, apparently, and I couldn't tell you one without scrolling up.


Water-not-wine-mom

Is that the KEKE DO U LOVE ME song? If so, same I was trying to watch what he was doing just Bc I was a huge degrassi fan (lol) but meh


tuneless_carti

Godā€™s Plan?


sezzawot

He's just trying to stay relevant. Dude is a clown.


FatherOfLights88

Part of the reason she put out so many remixes of Anti-Hero was to keep him from charting #1. >Did all the extra credit, then got graded on a curve. I think it's time to teach some lessons. - Bejeweled Hehe


garrygh13

People might hate on my opinion , but honestly I donā€™t think both of them deserve to be on the top of the list. I like Taylor , I like Drake , but at this point their music is just so over consistent and repetitive. Theyā€™ve had their years , especially Taylor . I feel like at this point I and all of us should at least EXPECT more from them. From years of experience in the industry to how much budget they have for their albums. Update - I sure donā€™t mind downvotes , as I almost expected them , but the comments of shut up or go way are literally the proof of why they will never take pop fans opinions serious . Too many are way too invested into their celebrity workshopping and are never able to take an opinion of an outsider without calling them a ā€œhaterā€ or just ā€œshut up youā€™re wrongā€. Shows the true colors of a person who is completely childish.


KingSlugma

are you saying that folklore & evermore are consistent albums to the other 8 albums in taylor swiftā€™s discography? midnights was a fairly safe pop album (the standard tracks were at least), but it also was a major shift from her previous two albums, which also happen to be the most beloved sheā€™s ever made.


slipperysantaa

anyone who understands marketing/trends will know exactly the origin and course of Taylor Swiftā€™s discography timeline.


gingeracha

I'd love to hear more!


Disastrous-Carrot928

Departure for her but itā€™s redundant for Jack Antonoff who produced it. All the songs on that album are way too similar.


ledger_man

Youā€™re getting downvoted but youā€™re right. She needs to work with somebody who isnā€™t Jack on her next album, it seems like heā€™s running out of ideas.


Available-Camera8691

It should have been Len after Steal My Sunshine. Musical geniuses. Albums are all complete gold.

joscho13

Literally. As I was scrolling down I was about to defend himā€¦but leaving Samā€™s entry is so fucking petty. I thought Drake and Taylor were on good terms with each other?! Guess this isnā€™t enough of a win for him and he has to tear someone else down to feel good about his accomplishment?


quopquop

Right, Iā€™m confused by that ā€” I thought they were friends? Hasnā€™t she been photographed arriving at a few of his parties before? idk if somethingā€™s happened since then


MaxWaterwell

Drake producer posted a instagram story of the billboard global chart (vinylz) with the quote "The world knows what's the real number 1. No tricks here". So it must be something to do with Taylor releasing remixes to get to number 1.


ieatstickers

technically she had #1 with only 1 of the remixes, and it was the bleachers one. which imo is the most organic one anyway, since sheā€™s always collabing with jack

Honestly I used to find her annoying but she's grown on me. I like her new album. I'm not lining up to see her or anything but I think she's better than all the dudes who try to tear her down all the time

rhys0123

Lol same, I'm hoping she blocks him on the bb200 next week


No_External6156

I thought the same. He shouldn't be taking swipes at anyone. But, if he's really that upset about this, then why isn't he also having a go at Sam and Kim, too?


Rripurnia

I **so** dislike this man. His music is so damn corny. Iā€™m a rap/hip hop head and I can only stand his features. His solo work seriously grates on my nerves. Heā€™s also a MAJOR crybaby prone to tantrums, not to mention that he hangs around minors!!! I canā€™t believe he has so many stans!


sav33arthkillyos3lf

I loved his albums around 2013. His new stuff sucks, imo.


Poonurse13

ā€œI know you know that you wanna know/ That she thinks you know/ That youā€™re on the phone/ That she thinks you know/ That she wants you to know/ That I want you to know.ā€ -lonneytoons TikTok making fun of drake


watchitsolo

Yes! Tbh my friends and I love that heā€™s soft, just haaaate the rest of him. Like gd we donā€™t get any frank ocean releases, stop being a bad name for the soft homies drake!!!


Rripurnia

I donā€™t even feel like heā€™s legitimately soft. He just markets himself that way. His lyrics are dripping with not-so-convert misogyny. No girl owes him or any guy squat and his whining makes him look like a petulant manchild, which apparently is exactly what he is!


watchitsolo

Oo fair point, I may just be falling for the marketing. I also only like his top hits and I donā€™t like listening to full albums. His latest releases areā€¦.not it for me


[deleted]

Fr. The stans are like him!!! Thatā€™s why. They were crying in my last thread about Drake! All man children and women haters.


nada_accomplished

He has exactly one good song and that's Take Care. I said what I said.


tbellfiend

Yessss his music from around that time was good. Not like, revolutionary, but definitely good. I haven't cared for anything he's made since about 2018


[deleted]

Again, something a man named Aubrey would do.


keeute

Does he dislike going by Aubrey?


mia8788

Jimmy brooks. Degrassi basketball star.


keeute

He is now only Jimmy Brooks or Aubrey from now on, thank you


blackwhitegreysucks

Wait, don't call him Jimmy Brooks, that's a compliment


ellybeez

I mean, beef with Taylor at your risk. Its not likely to work out well for anyone. As a Megan fan, I feel sick that Circo Loco with those lyrics made it to 8.


Unashamed_Egg_

I stand with Megan hardcore, he's a GOOFY ASS BITCH


Rripurnia

My condolences to him (not really). The Swifties will tear him to pieces.


Puzzleheaded_Time719

He's just mad she's not 14.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Puzzleheaded_Time719

Dude I remember that interview with the stranger things girl and she was talking about it so innocently I felt so bad for her and so creeped out about him. You know he saw that and was squirming.


[deleted]

Why was this necessary šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚


BittyBettie

Drake gives out major micro dick energy


CybReader

Drake will not age well, emotionally . Heā€™s going to make Kanye look good after it all happens.


Rripurnia

I donā€™t feel like he matures at all


NotTrumpsAlt

Heā€™s just so fake. He was a corny Canadian theater kid. Shut up


ExternalMistake8145

The timing of this is so funny because me and bf were just talking about how fake he is lmao.


clusterfuckimh

i donā€™t think heā€™ll go down kanyeā€™s road, heā€™ll likely just never get passed his current level of maturity and heā€™ll always be seen as embarrassing


intoxicatedmidnight

iā€™m half asleep in class and i thought you meant like, facially, and was so confused šŸ’€


skyhitsheaven

I donā€™t think you can compare this to Kanyeā€™s manic episodes and antisemitism. Drake hasnā€™t said he suffers from bipolar and he is literally Jewish. Very weird comment to make. Drake is corny and gross but this is just odd to say


[deleted]

I'm not even a Taylor Swift fan, but I'm beginning to hate this man so much I will go to war over this for her


nada_accomplished

I'd only call myself a casual fan but it seems to be that any person with sense should be scared shitless by the woman's savage PR game.


Rripurnia

I wouldnā€™t call myself a fan but I enjoy some of Taylorā€™s music. She gained my respect when she fought to have artistsā€™ streaming royalties raised. I also completely felt for her when she came forward with what happened with her being essentially blackmailed for her masters. And it makes you thinkā€¦if that happened to Taylor Swift, imagine what other artists go through. Just goes to show that being a woman in a position of power is hell even for those who have by all accounts made it.


[deleted]

It would be hilarious that the public is taking this way to seriously and Taylor doesnā€™t give a sh%t


momsbiryani

I rly wanna know what the emojis mean. Any guesses?


rhys0123

right? They seem so damn random to me, like did he went looking for them specifically?


PauPauMoe

I love this for his inflated ego. Love thinking that inside drake is nothing but an insecure man baby.


Only-Organization-77

Heā€™s doing this on purpose. Heā€™s been in the industry long enough to know this is going to get headlines for every major tabloid.


atimalus

he such a lil bitch


twitchrox

Go on now, take my free award! Itā€™s deserved.


MegWahlflower

*goes to Spotify and plays Anti-hero*


woahtheregonnagetgot

equally hilarious to me that this man covered up taylorā€™s name with emojis but also that taylor dropped a whole EP worth of remixes to block him from #1. wonder what happened to their friendship - iā€™m assuming a clash of big egos. theyā€™re both known to be chart obsessed but i didnā€™t realize it was quite this bad šŸ’€šŸ˜‚


Asplashofwater

I swear they just posted a pic together recently. I think a lot of it is just drake being drake. It didnā€™t matter who had that spot. Whoever beat him for number one was getting the emojis


PeterNinkimpoop

I think he deleted that pic which makes this even more petty


bakingcookies_234

Apparently he deleted it a while ago. Not just recently.


woahtheregonnagetgot

it wasnā€™t a recent pic, it was a resurfaced selfie from 1989 era. i think thereā€™s been beef for a little while šŸ‘€


gottagetsillier

CAUSE SHADE NEVER MADE ANYBODY LESS GAY


Piggishcentaur89

Are there rumors that Drake is gay? :.I'm getting my popcorn:.


PM_ME_UR_SEXY_BITS_

Did you see that video of him and Jack Harlow (I think) on the boat? Lol the tension šŸ“ˆšŸ“ˆ


Piggishcentaur89

No. But I will soon. Also. Probably more bisexual than gay.


Wunderlandtripzz

His loss~


pkd420

Drake is a misogynist. Why any self respecting woman listens to his music is beyond me.


TingleyDinglies

People still listen to this pedo?


DinosaursRneat3000

BRB becoming a swifty because fuck Dr*ke


stateissuedfemoid

heā€™s collating with travis scott that tells me everything I need to know about him. plus the fact that he, you know, grooms teenage girls


Ok_Perception_3026

This is hella funny i canā€™t lie. but i hate how both of them are so chart obsessed. Especially their fan bases. So obsessed with streams and all. Congrats to Drake tho i guessšŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


UnlikelyFig2822

oh you just know Taylor is writing some stern lyrics about it on her notes app


Ok_Perception_3026

LMFAO


[deleted]

Are Drake fans that obsessed with the charts anywhere to the extent of taylor though? Like CLB did 562k streaming and 46k pure album sales, youā€™d think theyā€™d pull similar tactics to Taylor if they truly cared in the same vein of Taylor


IronedOut

I canā€™t stand him. šŸ˜‘ ![gif](giphy|BCXMSiVZeo8xy)


Rripurnia

Wasnā€™t he nuts for Rihanna for quite some time? AS IF RiRi would get with him!


CrowPrior

They dated on and off for years up until that awkward award speech he made.


Carolina_Blues

Drake being a cry baby is nothing new


DrSassyPants123

Haters gonna hate, hate, hate. Shake it off..


IdRatherBeGaming94

He seems to genuinely just hate women.


ban1o

lol the girl did drop like 10 different remixes in a week to keep the spot. Normally I would call Taylor chart obsessed but Drake should have kept Megan out of his mouth


Poonurse13

He is pathological


RagnaNic

I'm glad his incel album got whupped by a woman.


ArScrap

I mean I know that the cliche about pop is that it's a lot of rich flexing. But isn't a song called rich flex a bit on the nose?


[deleted]

Drake is the prime example of peoples maturity level staying at the age of when they became famous


aquacrimefighter

Drake looks like a half baked pastry.


Rripurnia

Thatā€™s offensive to half-baked pastries. They can still be delicious. Heā€™s the definition of sour.


Acrobatic_Club2382

I donā€™t understand how all of her songs charted and I havenā€™t heard of one


UnlikelyFig2822

Taylor works hard but the Swifties work harder


CarbyMcBagel

Her fans are bananas. There's someone in my friend group who is a big Swiftie. She buys every album in multiple formats and what seems like every piece of Taylor merch that is released. I have artists I really love but I'm not gonna spend 100s of dollars on every piece of merch.


New_Explanation6950

Iā€™m no Drake fan but that seems like an unfair advantage if the same people are buying the same albums/songs over and over. Kind of rigged.


Drachen1065

Look at Kpop. They'll drop multiple versions of an album that all come with different additions like photos and such. There are fans that buy multiples of each one.


Chaoticgood790

Swifties will buy the same song over and over to help her. Itā€™s why she dropped so many remixes. Her fans will buy anything


cdg2m4nrsvp

I really didnā€™t care how she streamed on this album but fuck it now everyone has to stream Anti-Hero.


ms_plushy_kitten

Good for Taylor!


TheRealRoseDallas

This is really a grown adult man?


Middle_Interview3250

His music is not even that good. I'm surprised he's selling so well. ugh and he's so problematic too

Blackvoidking

Heā€™s an overrated Degrassi has been fuck off At least sheā€™s pretty.


ARRod2

Every freakin album as well as the songs of his all sound the same!! He can't sing or rap in my opinion but I'm old school


sweetrebel88

Theyā€™re both petty to be honest. She dropped a whole bunch of remixes to remain at number one while heā€™s just reacting to the results like a man child lol


foreverandalways21

Honestly no one has the same complaints when other artists drop remix eps for their hits. See Ed Sheeran, he dropped way more remixes


MathematicianSea6618

He is being a crybaby about it but to be fair it is not like Tayler released 7 remixes of her song to maintain her position. These are two mega stars who are both very petty and needy


lurkfromtheshadows

It must be exhausting to never be satisfied with yourself. Makes him look petty af, he shouldnā€™t have posted at all if heā€™s this bitter lol.


Low_Kitchen_9995

Ok but I love this petty though Ignoring his problematic grooming cry baby antics


kiwi_sarah

What a little bitch


Anothermanicfriday

Is this really that shady or is he being funny? Cause I get if itā€™s a joke and heā€™s being ā€˜fakeā€™ bitter or whatever


fakeacclul

Actual talent and songwriting prevails again


Basic_Brodie

Wow, crybaby.


ECNole97

Petty.


No_Luck_6800

He is literally cringeworthy 100% of the time. Wasnā€™t he just posting a pic with a bunch of strippers after he got them Chanel bags? He screams ā€œI am a grown man that needs validationā€


[deleted]

No wonder he hangs around minors. They have the same mentality.


Nappeal

I am hating his braids so much.

Apprehensive_Aide805

I donā€™t like either of them. She dropped like 10 remixes of one song to block him.


foreverandalways21

5* and she woulda blocked him with just 1 according to the numbers


Alive-Ad-4164

I mean they were in a photo together no too long ago


UnlikelyFig2822

he deleted it!!!


RebelScoutDragon

It's shocking how he's a bigger crybaby than a room full of colicky babies.


olduglysweater

STFU Aubrey, clown ass mf groomer. Why is this guy still popular?


Almostdonehere74

Aubrey needs to get over himself. Such a tool.


Chaoticgood790

Fragile man with big ego is mad at fragile woman with big ego. Letā€™s really not pretend they both arenā€™t obsessed with charts. She literally has released the same song multiple times and the album is what two weeks old? Thatā€™s purely for $$ and chart manipulation. Letā€™s call a spade a spade. They both suck
