In a surprising twist, Detroit rapper 42 Dugg has recently voiced his concerns over what he perceives as the Hip Hop community’s shifting stance towards Drake.
Dugg’s comments come in light of the growing negativity Drake has faced since his fallout with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. Despite the harsh criticism, 42 Dugg stands steadfast in his support for Drake, stating on social media that the rapper has significantly contributed to the industry.
“I knew our ass was out when these mufuckas turned on Drake,” Dugg expressed, emphasizing Drake’s role in promoting emerging artists. He added, “Drake put on 400 rappers and counting. If they can say f**k him, a street n—a got zero chances.” His words highlight the unpredictability and harsh realities in the music business.
Moreover, Dugg advised fellow artists to focus on financial success due to the volatile nature of the industry. In his own words: “Man, GET THE MONEY. Eventually, they gonna tear you down; could be something you did or didn’t do. THAT’S why my advice is always get enough money till you can leave this sh*t alone for good.”
Meanwhile, an unrelated incident involving Drake made headlines as a woman attacked his OVO store in New York with a hammer. The woman, scantily clad, was quickly apprehended by police after smashing several windows and attempting arson. The motive behind the attack remains undisclosed, and Drake has yet to comment on this event.
Adding fuel to the fire, Drake recently sparked further debate by continuing his vocal support for Tory Lanez. Lanez, currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, received a shoutout from Drake on social media, where he called for Lanez’s freedom. “Of course, this Goof Markman couldn’t finish the bar… free Tory,” Drake quipped online.
Drake’s unwavering stance on Lanez has been a point of contention, as he has consistently shared petitions advocating for Lanez’s pardon. His actions demonstrate his commitment to supporting Lanez but have not always resonated with everyone in the community.
The dynamic world of Hip Hop sees its share of alliances and fallouts. As 42 Dugg reinforces his allegiance to Drake, it underscores the fluid nature of fame and loyalty in the industry. In a realm where today’s friends can become tomorrow’s adversaries, Dugg’s message serves as a reminder to prioritize personal success amidst shifting tides.
