Drake Reacts To Jully Black’s ‘O Canada’

Graeme O’Neil takes a look at Jully Black’s rendition of “O Canada” at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game, where she changed the lyric to “on Native land”, and got attention from Drake and Chuck D.

Indigenous Americans, who include Alaska Natives, Canadian First Nations, and Native Americans, descend from humans who crossed an ancient land bridge connecting Siberia in Russia to Alaska tens of thousands of years ago. so enough with "this is native land" concept .

The funny part was when introducing her the announcer stumbled over his words like Kendrick Perkins at the NBA think he was caught off guard by that well fitted red dress 😂

She obviously feels she has a right to mutilate another artists lyrics

[Babstock]

This lyric change does absolutely nothing for anyone except herself. She made herself a talking point because before this, I had no idea who she was.

[Tyda]

Right msg wrong messenger!! Let native speak for themselves

[briankroger]

Shes a disgrace. A country's national anthem is something sacred and nobody has the right to change it. She disrespected Canadians. No other country in the world would put up with it. Thats a fact.

Reading some of the comments makes me glad I do not live in Canada.

[PistonHonda]

But will she be willing to do the brave thing and go back to Africa if occupying native land is such an issue?

July Black nails it . Hats off to her.

[donaldjacques]

This is my country. On my land. I'm not giving it up any time soon.

[garyrunner]

In one minute she changed something that was suppost to make you feel proud of your country into something all about woke and Jully Black.She is whats wrong with this country, self centered and narcissist .

AMERICA is a continental land inhabited by many indigenous natural dwellers way before Greco-Roman-European Civilization came to conquer it.

Its time to recognize all our Indigenous ancestries.

Sing the anthem and be unpatriotic at the same time. Disgusting

The average Canadian if they are lucky owns a piece of land 50 by 100 ft that their house sits on. If they stop paying taxes they will lose it in about 2 years. And yet we propose to give 3 million square miles of land to a couple of hundred thousand descendants of Chinese who crossed the land bridge?

[donnahollett]

I believe the American's also removed the Native's from their land.
Maybe they should also consider giving it all back to the Native community.

[joeruffolo]

they should honestly change the lyric - what is a country that doesn't listen to its people

[edmundcrowley]

Never miss an opportunity to virtue signal!

[annwethenorth]

What a narcissist! I'm doing this for 6 year old jully. You're supposed to do it for CANADA! You're disrespectful!
Woke awards 🙄🙄🙄

[reallykeen]

It's hard to see how a country with different classes of citizenship is going to work in the long run. If there is a war why would Canadians who have no stake in the country bother to defend it? Let the indigenous and the Chinese fight it out

Mongolians need to pay reparations NOW for the atrocities committed by Genghis Khan!
