must be tough being a kbot , trying to pretend his music is good , anyways I'm glad is all over .


Now let drake comeback begin .

Just because I can't stand this era of rap as a whole don't mean I don't rate Kendrick over Drake's bubble gum weak music with trash beats and weak storylines. I only enjoy the Jay features where Jay comes and rinses him on his tracks like Light Up, Talk Up, Pound cake.

Since he stopped fvckin with Jay I don't really care much for his music

Ballzproblem2:
we are all drake fans I guess the only reason he's relevant is because of the beef .

Likely Drake stans. He has a lot of stans, you think they're all going to turn their backs cos he lost a beef?

Kendrick didn't start well I would admit that but got much much better as the performance progressed. I'd score it a strong 7 anyone arguing otherwise is purely hating

Anyway hopefully both parties can move on. I'm not really crazy about this era of rap. I grew up on East coast mafioso rap, 2short pimpin music, G-funk, It's Dark and Hell is hot grimy era.

The rap music today is just too bubble gummy for me man

Blitz merchant. He think say na Allen or Lamar wey go fold.

Question for the house

I think Wemby will do well to pattern his game after Dirk Nowitzki. Similar body build with a flair for perimeter shooting but mix it up with a good midrange jumper.
I don't think Wemby will ever morph into a paint bruiser like shaq. He doesn't have that physique or dog in him.

That reminds me.

Dirk Vs Durant
If Durant was to retire today.
Who do your rank higher all time in terms of having a better career .

You make a good point. But he can model his game a little after Jokic. Take less 3's and post up more. Of course when the 3 is there you can take it. But when you start taking more 3s than prime Klay we have to ask what exactly is your strategy

I take Dirk over Durant every day of the week. What he did in 2011 KD has never come close to accomplishing. He took two teams to the NBA finals with no All star, in the damn Western conference

That run in 2011. Beat the Lakers off a back to back then beat KD, Westbrook and Harden, then prime Bron, Bosh and Wade with Jason Terry ffs. That ring na like 2 or 3 for my eye

Mahomes no hard to beat. Teams just don't finish him off when they have him on the ropes.

He's actually been trash all 5 first half of Superbowls just that this year he jam who give am him size

Roland17:
I will definitely miss his voice and knowledge of the game, especially the history of the game. Today’s game was his last call.

Yeah I saw that. I like that they get their flowers while they can still smell it

Ballzproblem2:
They're cooking Kendrick Lame .

Drake stans and fanboys normally

Thank you Hubbie Brown!

Don't compare this guy to GOAT Brady ever again. He's getting destroyed

swiz123:
In Anambra State, Nteje, some parts of Umuleri, and I think Dunukofia. I think in Dunukofia or somewhere in Anambra state, burial ceremony can last for 3 days where people eat and drink for 3 consecutive days.

My friend who's maternal grandma from Nteje died in 2018 aged 98 years was billed 5 cows cos she was the oldest person in the whole of Nteje prior to her death. The whole family couldn't afford her burial ceremony and now her oldest son has passed few weeks ago and he is also well aged. According to culture, they can't perform burial rites for the man unless his mom's own is fully observed. If they decide to perform rites for both now, they should be looking at 8 cows minimum.

Nigerians really have time for nonsense and upholding nonsense culture and na people dey humor them.

How far you have fallen, that you now follow and quote Laura Loomer

We will not see eye to eye on this Trump matter. Just free. This iteration of the Democrat party is an embarrassment and we saw how soundly they were rejected

That's to show you even Americans are fed up as well so much so that a Republican candidate won the popular vote

And no I don't follow her.

Twitter fall-outs unfortunately don't equate to facts. Drake released 3 free singles via a burner IG account called plottttwist. All with zero promo and not even through his official account. All had millions of views in days which prompted UMG to get them struck out so they'll be on DSP - streaming basically. They all have 100ms of streams as we speak - no promotion. "No Face", "Circadian Rhythm" had significantly more views on IG than Spotify for e.g and Drake used that as additional evidence that Spotify were colluding with UMG to stymie his streaming numbers. Since the lawsuit, all Drake's songs are streaming at outrageous rates. Some 2011 albums are re-charting. "9" from Views is the most streamed TikTok song of 2025. Drake already has the most streams of any rapper in 2025 - AGAIN. He was number 1, 11 out of 12 months in 2024. I can go on and on. Truly, you don't want this debate with me. I mean it.

Do you remember I said I have avoided conversations about Drake generally because I have to start by correcting lies before providing facts? I'll give you a chance to re-research the factual statement I made about Drake and the Superbowl before I post the evidence. You usually get your Drake talking points off Twitter - you should read the responses to see that what you have above is twaddle. Elliott Wilson and Akademiks that you referred to the other day, have something to say.

FYI - be mindful when you post stuff from Twitter. I said it again, too many spastics with half truths lead to bad arguments. That screenshot says RocNation never offered Drake the Superbowl since they signed the selection deal with the NFL.

Pray tell, when did RocNation sign that contract and who said Drake was not offered that before RocNation signed that contract?

Keep your Grammy and Superbowl arguments in the same folder. You don't know the Drake you're arguing against. Drake has more number 1's than Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift. I told you Musical execs will rather have his catalog than all the 70's to 90's music where Prince released most of his stuff.

De play.

I'm watching your guy get cooked and cremated rn. Wetin consign me if he wants to go back to releasing weak ass songs like sound cloud rapper. That Circadian rhythm is 2 minutes of trash that only Drake stans felt granted they're are a lot of them

Man's just said

"I want to play their favorite song, but you know they love to sue."

Cooked the bubble gum rapper. Looked through the camera doing it too

The way Kendrick snapped his head direct to camera when he said, “Say Drake, I heard you like em young…”😱😱 https://t.co/GZOIJ6tHgW pic.twitter.com/R7SQcJE7GN

I no really get time for this your long speech and Martin Luther chat. Your man lost the beef. He should take it on the chin and stop being a Karen

The whole stadium hollered A-minorrrrr. Maybe he go sue Goddell and NFL join

Trump pouring spit on the face of all his opps. Too sweet

This Wemby 3pt spamming is going to hinder him from greatness. On the offensive end at least and that will just be a damn shame.

If you're not making your 3's at 38-40% clip you really shouldn't be taking more than 3 or 4.

It's a mystery to me. You don't play perimeter defense so why are you spamming 3s on offense

Roland17:
He looks motivated.

Yeah till he gets hurt for no reason. What the hell is he made out of?

Literally no one even touched him

etidy:
And just like that he sustained a non contact injury

The mavs traded so many assets to get Kyrie and Pj Washington and now they are stuck with Injury prone Kyrie and Anthony Davis in their 30s... yikes win now my foot.

Nico is going to need special forces atp. All that energy to shame Luka only to trade for Mr Glass

To be fair the Mavs are actually deep just that their two biggest pieces are permacrocks

On the flipside Max Christie. My goodness. He might be the real steal of the deal. That boy is gonna be a star. 17ppg in 3 games. 66% from 3

Copium no dey allow una see wetin dey at play.

We need Kdot to perform that song like it is going out of fashion. Remember, the distributor (UMG) owns the licensing rights. So, for it to be performed, UMG had to give the Superbowl that right.

That's the nail to their coffin. They'll have to argue that actively working against your number 1 money maker was your expression of free speech. LOL.

Big as the what? Fun fact: Drake has rejected the Superbowl at least 2 times. Una never sabi why the industry needs this guy to be smaller.

Look it up, music execs have said they won't trade Drake's musical catalog for all of 70's, 80's and 90's music - put together!

Big as the what? Infantino wants Drake to headline the first ever world cup half time show '26.

World cup >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Superbowl.

Do. Right. And. Kill. Everything - DRAKE.

Who dey cope? Your man Don chop gigantic L. Has not dropped anything worth listening since. And is filing lawsuits all about the place. Says it all.

By now he would have dropped one of his bubble gum McDonald's singalong song. But shame no gree am

Sorry Mr Drake fan. NFL insiders say no such thing. Who born Drake papa? even Wizzy him oga dey beg to perform. Is he as big as Michael Jackson or Prince wey go dey demo for Superbowl

Ol boy AD is cooking oh.

Is Nico Harrison crazy or was he crazy like a fox

He's not wrong.
It's not simply about Economics as you see it, it's about winning hearts and minds for those US products and beneficial US policies.
And the money USAID spends has a multiplier effect and propaganda effect.


This is a pic I took years back. My cousin usually has an end of year party in his compound in the East. This is a pic of a child dancing to the DJ that was set up outside the compound. I thought the jacket was so interesting. Took a picture and talked to them about the jacket. Local children, never been to the US nor have their parents. Parents bought the jacket at the market.
Let's leave outside the immediate good the money does. How much more likely do you think that child will grow up to like US products or be supportive of US policies or if he is a brilliant inventor want to immigrate to the US?

You're thinking of this stuff in a purely short term way. When we are losing long term benefits because of people being unable to see beyond this second.

Winning what hearts? You cannot win over the entitled. The reactions I have been seeing in light of this withdrawal smacks of entitlement. Nigerians and a lot of these countries now have an entitlement state of mind and now see this benevolence as their right. The same way illegal immigrants see the US as their right. China, Russia, Japan you don't flaunt your right to enter these places illegally like the US

Who dem born well to protest with Mexico or Palestine flag for Moscow. If Putin no trowey you from window or send you go Siberia make I know wetin cause am

There's none of these policies and nothing about the USAID that serves the needs of the American people right now. There are zero long term benefits. Takers have no limits so a giver must set them

The same way you don't help your neighbor's children with their food and school fees while your own children are starving. Only a foolish man will be doing giveaway while him mama dey soak akamu

Back when, if a Nigga reached, it was for a weapon/
Nowadays, Niggas reach just to sell their records. . ."/

Don't let facts get in the way of the Drake agenda though.

Funny these bars dey contradict Drake recent behavior. Weak bubble gum bars which encapsulates his music in a nutshell

Your man asked for the fade got whacked and is running to the law

Let's see if he begs the law to make Kendrick not perform at the Superbowl. He don't even need to say nothing. Hold the mic in the air and the crowd would Holla A-minorrrrrrrrr

Livelystone01:
The US gets lots of things in return more than they give. Imagine the illegal drilling in Syria, Iraq, etc and other illegal mining from those other countries they send aids to.

Should we talk about their interests in some countries too?

Remove the aids and these guys will move to the highest bidder. Remember, China and some other countries are lurking around to get these new partners if the US fails.

The net product of this action is that the US will be at a loss, they will lose more ground while their counterparts will gain more.

You think China and Russia will give you free money for DEI and gender bending studies in Sri Lanka

Dey play. US might have their flaws but the sheer size of their economy means they will never not be relevant.

If you think the US are users wait let China hold your country for waist first.

From NATO, to USAID to the other free money they're giving everywhere they're the Universal sugar Daddy and all these countries you listed above simply can't cope

Livelystone01:
I've been trying to get my head around the USAID issues for a while and my conclusion is that most of these payment tags we see are cover ups for the promotion of US interests in certain countries.

I don't think it is legal to put the right things in there because of the illegality of some of these promotions. Take something like this, you see that they wrote the correct thing there and what you'd have been seeing are: payment for staffs illegally drilling oil in so and so country or payment for our assets in Vietnam or our contractors for "whatever secret trades of certain rare minerals" in the middle East.

We have to look holistically at this and not get triggered to tag these things before getting the true issue these payments were disbursed for.

You know the US are running some very lucrative illegal trades or mining in some of these destabilised countries and these could be their payment methods.

Imagine the world seeing, payment for illegal mining of minerals in Nigeria or Djibouti or mobilization fee for illegal drilling in Syria or others.

Also, most of those so-called terrorists in the media are CIA assets who the US use to control important resources in their domains. How do you label a payment to such person that wouldn't have caused another "Snowdon's" level of outrage worldwide?

I think this agency called DOGE have rookies that do not understand clandestine operations, especially political ones or Elon and co do but they do not care. Either way, it is so bad for America because how do you expect to get the next shipments of raw solid and rare earth minerals from illegal miners in Iraq when you haven't sent the next payment to your warlord connect?

These guys will just move their business elsewhere and have others fill in for them. Black market brokers would be licking their hands right now that Trump is pushing on things like these.

Make we just they see how China go enjoy this move wella.

I'm enjoying the expose. Taxpayers need to know how insane the Democrat party is and how their tax dollars are being squandered

Transparency is key and I think they are at a point now where the people are sick and tired of playing global police. Every move of Trump gives me the impression that na all man for himself regime be this. No money to waste. All these countries and our interests in them do absolutely nothing for the bottomline is his mentality

Kimbeast:
So a Nigerian should cut off his culture, tradition and identity because he is living in another country? I think you are mixing up citizenship and nationality. You can't change what country you were originally from even if you renounce your citizenship and become a citizen of a new country. It's okay to want to live overseas but still be proud to be born in Nigeria or wherever.

I didn't say cut off but assimilate as much as possible to your new environment. Especially when you plan on making it your new abode

If you're that proud of where you come from to the point that you elevate it ahead of your new location then why not go back to the Nigeria or wherever you're from.

It's foolishness and quite frankly hypocrisy to go to another man country and be flying flag in public protests. Some countries it's against the law sef

And yes certain countries require you to denounce your old country to become a citizen of that country.

Donald Trump's grandfather is literally German. His real country is actually Germany. I don't hear him say make Germany great again

I don't know the humiliation you're referring to. Man has been using Grammy plaques as a doorstop for years. In fact, he forbade UMG from submitting his works to the Grammy Committee since 2022.

Speaking of which, there's only 1 name on everyone's lips in rap. Someone won 5 Grammies, and the ensuing conversation since then has been about Drake. Man has a superbowl performance to revive his career, the conversations are still about . . .Drake. The Grammy awards? Nothing from all his other stuff - not even Future or MetroGrooming got anything from it. The Grammy goes to the song made about. . . Drake.

Let me add the kicker:

Dr. Dre - confirmed Pedophile and wife-beater.
Lucian Grange - UMG CEO
Jay-Z- confirmed Pedophile

Are doing high fives and celebrating a song about Pedophilia denigrating the most successful artist Lucian Grange has ever worked with. An artist that nobody has ever charged for such claims. Yet the people who are dancing to it, have been charged and in some cases, are guilty of the same Pedophilia. I hope you see where this is going.

Last bit, UMG have immediately tried to re-release Sabrina Carpenter's album (to sell with Merch) on the day of Drake's album with PND. The Weeknd (who used to hate the Grammy until his current album was flopping) also tried to release it based on the buzz of the $ome$exy$ongsFor4U. They went out to lie that both albums were being released on the same day.

DJ Khaled (Managed by Jigga) also tried to use Drake's name to promote his upcoming album (even though he has songs with Jay-Z). Drake set him straight and now Khaled has deleted his album promo.

They need the boy to sell records. Shannon Sharpe won't do any Interview without asking random folks about Drake. All content creators, Drake Drake Drake. Australia is all about Drake (sold out).

Meanwhile, they say Kdot will edit NLU to perform it at the superbowl and he won't be able to repeat the defamatory statements he made (FYI it won't matter. To perform the song, UMG had to license it - so yep - Drake's lawsuit is in tact). There's no humiliation to the face of the league o.

These tears and lamentations dawg. TLDR

Sha hold the L on Drizzy's behalf.

First nigga/Karen to lose a beef and file a lawsuit

This right here. Except the argument is that Klay is washed.

Jimmy is trending towards washed. The Warriors are stuck with two niggas 36 years and older on the supermax. All for what? Play in contention?

They're so cooked it's not even funny. Extending Klay would have been a much better option than massively overpaying for Jimmy and handicappin themselves badly

KingTom:
I noticed it too, health us wealth brothers. I saw his eyes and the way he slurred, it couldn't have been just the drinks. He lost Ashanti to Nelly, had been crying about it since

He wasn't looking like a healthy 50 year old at all. Anyone who's not drastically cutting down their drinking and smoking by age 30 dey play with fire

The things we view as enjoyment for youth na for older age you go suffer am.

Did he really lose Ashanti to Nelly? The man had a wife and kids. Wetin e dey find upandan.

RIP Irv Gotti. Man gave us classics

The way he was crashing out on Drink Champs I figured all was not well.

You balked on paying Klay only to break the vault for Jimmy?

raumdeuter:
We remember the number of people who swore there was nothing like this. That it was a hoax and fake news

Wonder why the legacy media is getting torched

You don't wake people pretending to be asleep. We are talking about people more upset Elon Musk is exposing USAID theft than the actual fraud and crime itself

That's like someone angry at CCTV camera instead of the bank robber
