Drake is not a poet ma’am…he uses ghostwriters and AI. He’s more of a colonizer 😊

[HigkeyRegarded]

I'm a big Drake fan but Kendrick won objectively.

[crystalriley]

I see the media is already slanting in the favor of Drake. Report the truth for once, Drake started it, then taunted K Dot until he finished it.

This is TuPac & Biggie level once NBC covers it

[zCATALYZEDz]

Of course you won't see "Drake" on the offender list, because it ain't his real name.

“They are both poets.” Drake is a poet to y’all? 😂

[ahmedWatan]

I hate when a rapper talk about guns, then somebody die, they turn into nuns
Then hop online like “Pray for my city, ” he fakin’ for likes and digital hugs

Big Drake fan, but Kendrick Lamar destroyed, embarrassed and put the knife inside Drake’s back; then danced on him while on the ground.

Underage women = kids, just to clear that up

[mermaid]

Not her calling minors young underage women. Sick world we live in

[JohnDoes-ggyd]

i lost it when they pulled up kendriks like em young lyric omg

[reyrayo]

Bbl drizzy
Got bodied by kendrick 😂😂😂 Drizzler 😂😂

[daniellabutler]

This is some terrible reporting. Why use the phrase “young underage women” instead of “girls” or “CHILDREN”?

[BlazingBuddha]

Only one of them is poetic and Drake isn’t one of them also there’s really no accusations about Kendrick Lamar. Everything you wanna know about it is on the album, Mr. Morale and the big stepper so if you guys wanna be informative, listen to that

[MikeThaPhilosopher]

This has gotten out of hand.. since when does major news outlets report on this

[Zitolos]

"Theyre really poets" 💀💀💀 yo lol

[leah-pryn]

we got nbc explaining the kendrick drake beef before gta 6

[raave]

it's already awful that nbc is covering these but the worst part is there's not a single black person featured on this segment

[jermainhall]

They should have black Americans reporting .It's weird hearing this coming from people who don't represent the culture
