And for his next trick, after turning J. Cole into a horny mess on Cash Cobain's "Grippy," Kendrick Lamar will turn this Toronto superstar from "Mob Ties" to small fries. At least, that's what a lot of fans think about these new features from the Compton creative's rivals, especially Drake's recent remix of "Wah Gwan Delilah" by the 6ix's hot new Internet personality, Snowd4y. People are clowning the "Hey There Delilah" cover endlessly online, and while we completely understand why given the context of the rap beef, we also don't think it's as bad as some might say.
After all, this is far from Drake's first foray into putting on local Toronto culture in a cheeky way, and far from his first "bad" song. Remember when he included "Ratchet Happy Birthday" on 2018's Scorpion right after losing to Pusha T? Well, this kind of invokes that dissonance, but in a way that's much more on the nose and impossible to ignore. As for what The Boy's future holds in the short and long term, we can only guess at what shifts and switch-ups will happen next or when he will return to straight-up bars. But right now, we can assess that "Wah Gwan Delilah" doesn't deserve your ire: just a chuckle before you move on to something else.
