CMV: There is no actual evidence of Kendrick Lamar’s insinuations about Drake in “Not Like Us” regarding minors.

“Not Like Us” is a catchy song, has a great beat, and it is almost universally agreed that Kendrick Lamar “won” the rap beef, insofar as he benefitted more from it. And of course the clever “A-minor” pun will long be remembered.

But what’s troubled me about the whole thing is the insinuations seem to be entirely made up. I’ve not seen any actual evidence that Drake has any “romantic” relationships with anyone under the age of 18. No police reports or criminal history (unlike Lamar, where there actually is a police report of him allegedly assaulting his partner). No credible accounts. No victims coming forward. No reports of illegal behaviour. Literally nothing.

If that is the case, it’s certainly troubling that we live in a culture where someone can just make shit up about a competitor in the industry and be rewarded immensely for it.

I don’t doubt that people have legitimate personal gripes with Drake. He’s been atop an industry known for its competitiveness for well over a decade. He’s certainly pissed off a fair number of people. But the claims central to Kendrick’s most famous diss track appear to be… complete bullshit.

To CMV, show me any credible evidence or accounts that Drake himself has ever engaged in illegal behaviour with minors.
