These days, Drake doesn’t seem to be receiving many compliments. He lost to Kendrick Lamar in the bаttle, and now he has to deal with the reality that his song “Not Like Us,” which is currently number one, contains a pedоphile reference. Doubtful appearance. Barring any legal issues, the Toronto rapper will be able to bounce back, and he has lately received help from an unexpecteԀ quarter. An original member of the grittier rap group Griselda, Benny the Butcher, gave Drake high marks for his work.While appearing on Montreality in April, Benny spoke about the rapper.

He thinks Drake’s detractors are jealous of his writing game and not serious about wanting him to make music for the radio. “Drake is phenomenal,” he raved. Those who despise Drake’s pen are envious, you know. “Drake that n**ga,” I sаy; you understand. He was a kind guy; he protected people, gave them verses, and stuff. In light of Lamar’s accusations that the Toronto rapper is a “culture vulture” and a “colonizer,” the second argument is particularly intriguing. These claims have been leveled against Drake for years, but they were solidified on record by Lamar.This is an argument that Benny the Butcher can’t get behind. Then he went on to praise Drake for including up-and-coming musicians and co-signing lesser-known acts. “Drake takes the responsibility of pushing the culture forward,” argued Benny. You can’t help but do that when you’re in a position similar to his in the game. He tackles the task directly.

After that, the Griselda rapper shot out the notion that Drake isn’t supporting the musicians he loves. “Why did he get a song with him or why is he doing features with him?'” people wonder. Reason being, that’s his thing and he enjoys it, as Benny pointed out. The culture is being advanced by him. He’s fulfilling his role.

There is reciprocity in the acclaim. During an interview with Rap Radar in 2020, Drake gave Benny the Butcher and the Griselda group a lot of appreciation. “Honestly, I enjoy… He made a remark about how sick the whole clique thing was with Griselda. Drake confirmed his willingness to work with Benny the Butcher when asked about the possibility. “I’m ready,” he declared. Even during an interview, Benny showed me his affection. The work they’re doing is fantastic, in my opinion. Since Drake has already collaborated with Conductor Williams, a frequent collaborator of Griselda, it would be great to hear additional collaborations between the two groups.
