Ebro Darden called out Drake for not saying anything about Black issues in America.
On July 12, Hot 97’s Ebro Darden discussed how Drake never speaks up about Black issues while conversing with Nadeska Alexis and Lowkey on Apple Music’s Rap Life Review series. In the clip, which can be seen below, the three hosts of the series spoke about Drake’s shade toward Childish Gambino’s 2018 single during Drizzy’s set at the It’s All a Blur Tour at Chicago’s United Center. By the 19:23-mark of the video, Ebro Darden expressed that Drake has yet to take a stand for justice.
This isn’t the first time that Drake was called out for not using his platform to advocate for societal issues plaguing the Black community publicly. However, the entertainer has made several substantial momentary donations to civic rights organizations and causes, including the National Bail Out Fund and Black Lives Matter.
On Drake and 21 Savage’s It’s All A Blur Tour, the screen displayed a message dissing Childish Gambino’s 2018 song “This Is America,” which they dubbed overrated. At the time of its release, the song’s video was praised for creatively tackling topics such as political brutality, gun violence, and more. That enraged Darden, who singled out Drake for what he sees as an unflattering career-long pattern.
