Drake tries to explain viral blackface photo that has Black Twitter wondering WTF

Drake hit the Internet on Wednesday to clear the air about an offensive blackface photo that Pusha T used on the cover of his diss track “The Story of Adidon.”

Calling the on-going feud between him and Pusha T “a circus,” Drake said he wanted to clarify a few things about the pic that caught social media off-guard.

“This was not from a clothing brand shoot or my music career,” Drake wrote in an Instagram message. “This picture is from 2007, a time in my life where I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast. The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.”

While we appreciate the insight, folks really wants Drake to fess up about more personal matters after Pusha T dropped some piping hot tea alleging that Drake is keeping a secret baby he had with porn star under wraps. Can we get a tweet about that?

Pusha brought all the receipts in his diss track “The Story Of Adidon,” a fire clapback to Drake’s ‘Duppy Freestyle’.

Pusha went for Drake’s jugular and the face-off started off with Drake on the cover of Pusha’s track dressed in blackface and bold, red lips, reminiscent of a minstrel show performer.

Pusha dropped these lines to prove Drake’s alleged baby and baby momma cover-up over the beats of Jay Z’s 2017 hit The Story of O.J. saying:

“Since you name-dropped my fiancée / Let ‘em know who you chose as your Beyoncé / Sophie knows better, ask your baby mother…

“Cleaned her up for IG, but the stench is on her… A baby’s involved, it’s deeper than rap / We talkin’ character, let me keep with the facts / You are hiding a child, let that boy come home / Deadbeat mothaf*cka playin’ border patrol.

“Adonis is your son / And he deserves more than an Adidas press run, that’s real / Love that baby, respect that girl / Forget she’s a porn star, let her be your world.”

Those loaded rap lyrics suggest that the ‘Nice For What’ rapper is a dead-beat dad and hiding a kid he allegedly had with Sophie Brussaux, an adult actress who previously worked under the name Rosee Divine.

No word yet on what Drake will do in response or if he’ll give us some context to that secret baby revelation. We’ll wait! And his album is coming June 30 so we’re sure he’ll have more to say.
