"Kendrick forced him into retirement"— Internet reacts as Drake drops 100GB worth of unreleased content

On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, Drake released 100 gigabytes of new material that included new songs, behind-the-scenes footage, and more. Drizzy also dropped three songs, including It’s Up, which features Young Thug and 21 Savage, Blue Green Red, and the Gordo-produced Housekeeping Knows, which features Latto.

Alongside, he shared footage of the creation of his hit tracks like Hotline Bling and Honestly Nevermind. The content was promoted on what seems to be Drizzy’s second Instagram account, @plottttwistttttt. The Canadian rapper also shared the posts from the account on his official @champagnepapi Instagram stories.

The music drops, available on the 100gigs.org website, are the first songs Drake has released following his documented rap battle with Kendrick Lamar. Netizens have since taken to the internet to react to the content that has been released, with one person saying:

Several others took to the internet to react to folders of content being unexpectedly released.

“Kendrick did him dirty. This is how crashing out looks like in Canada. He’s about to start a new life,” another platform user said.

“We won’t be wasting a single megabyte on this,” another netizen said.

It remains unclear whether Drake is teasing an album drop through the materials he recently released.

“100GB of ghost writers,” a netizen said.

“This seems kind of desperate,” an internet user said.

“Drake is about vanish into the bahamas for the next decade atp,” a platform user said.

Aside from releasing the aforementioned songs, Drake recently featured on Gordo’s Diamante album in songs like Sideways and Healing.
