Drake Responds to Yasiin Bey Hip Hop Comment with an Old Method Man Interview

Recently, Drake made headlines due to remarks made by renowned hip-hop artist Yasiin Bey, formerly known as Mos Def. In an interview with The Cutting Room Floor, Bey expressed doubt about Drake’s status as a hip-hop artist, stating that he is more of a pop artist. According to Bey, Drake’s music has a commercial appeal and could easily be played in a store like Target. These comments sparked controversy, with some agreeing and others feeling that they were disrespectful to Drake’s achievements.

Drake has a history of addressing criticism, and he did just that on Monday night. He shared an old interview with Method Man, who defined hip-hop as a culture that encompasses various elements such as fashion, language, and music. Drake captioned his Instagram story with a line from Bey’s song “Umi Says,” implying that he will continue to stay true to himself despite the criticism. It is evident that Drake is always aware of what is being said about him, and he never shies away from responding to his detractors.
