Seems like it because, in the most non-traditional Drizzy fashion, Drake offered up an explanation for him going blackface in the picture in the album artwork for Pusha T’s new diss track, The Story of Adidon, as opposed to just going at Pusha T, like normal Drake would normally do, in another follow-up diss track.
Essentially, Drake said that we should all excuse this blackface picture of him because it was from 2007, and it had nothing to do with Drake’s current music career, or Drake’s OVO clothing line.
In Drake’s words:
[His blackface] photos represented how African Americans were wrongfully portrayed in entertainment. Me and my best friend at the time Mazin Elsadig who is also an actor from Sudan were attempting to se our voice to bring awareness to the issues we dealt with all the time as black actors at auditions.
Drake is obviously gifted in the metaphor department; however, this metaphor for a black actor, going in blackface, in order to bring awareness to “discrimination against black actors in entertainment”, isn’t really adding up at all, or making any logical sense.
Furthermore, Drake would get a C+ from any grade level teacher and/or professor, at best, for completely ignoring the whole prompt in his essayed response to Pusha T’s diss track.
Again Drake, the only question here is: Do you or do you not really have a son with a stripper? We want to hear it from your own mouth. Until Drake answers this question, himself, all of these other explanations are irrelevant.
