They’ll put a negative spin on it and try and tell me that it’s a self-serving thing or whatever, and I think I get really sensitive about that.”The "culture vulture" moniker has followed Drake for the past few years, gaining popularity amid his 2024 rap beef with Kendrick Lamar after the rapper alluded to it in his diss tracks, Euphoria and Not Like Us.Drizzy's album Iceman (Image via Instagram/@champagnepapi)In the latter track, Lamar explored the Canadian rapper's ties to various Atlanta emcees, including Future, Lil Baby, Young Thug, 21 Savage, and 2 Chainz, labeling him a "colonizer" for allegedly profiting from these collaborations."You called Future when you didn't see the club / Lil Baby helped you get your lingo up / 21 gave you false street cred/ Thug made you feel like you a slime in your head / Quavo said you can be from Northside / 2 Chainz say you good, but he lied/ You run to Atlanta when you need a few dollars/ No, you not a colleague, you a f**kin' colonizer," Lamar rapped.Drake is currently involved in the rollout for his upcoming album Iceman, which is his first full-length solo project since his 2023 album For All the Dogs.
