Charlamagne Tha God has officially dubbed Drake the “Donkey of the Day” for threatening legal action against UMG. On Monday morning (Dec. 2), Charlamagne returned to The Breakfast Club from vacation with an axe to grind regarding Drizzy’s decision to bring a potential lawsuit to a Hip-Hop rap battle. The talking head insisted that Drake’s petition, understood as being aimed at Universal Music Group—his and K. Dot’s parent label—and not Lamar, is actually about the Canadian being “mad” that Kendrick “kicked his a** lyrically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.”
Charlamagne bluntly called Drake a “whole h*e” for filing a petition as means to try and explain the success of “Not Like Us.” And if that wasn’t enough, he even accused Aubrey Graham of using bots to help boost his own songs—an accusation that he’s trying to pin on UMG with “Not Like Us.”
“Stop acting like you haven’t been the beneficiary of record label tricknology,” Charlamagne Tha God stated. “You being a whole h*e simply because you lost. Simply because Kendrick Lamar kicked yo a** lyrically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. And anybody acting like this is anything more than Drake’s feelings being hurt, you a h*e, too. An OV-H*e to be exact.”
Charlamagne then mocked netizens and podcasters for claiming that Drake’s lawsuit was part of a bigger play to take down the “machine,” akin to Michael Jackson’s oft-cited fight against Sony. As he continued, he shifted his focus back to Drake, saying that the rapper was only in this situation because “you tapped out.”
“You chose to tap out after not hearing ‘Not Like Us.’ Kendrick dropped too much tune for your headtop? He gave you ‘Euphoria,’ ‘6:16 in LA,’ ‘Meet The Grahams,’ and ‘Not Like Us’ [and] it was too much for you…You could have went in the studio and gave us a bop—you the bop guy! You could have gotten with some ghostwriters, went in the studio, and wrote a hit to combat ‘Not Like Us,’ but you chose not to.”
Charlamagne Tha God ended his “Donkey of the Day” by reiterating his advice to Drake at the end of the summer: “Take a break, let nostalgia bring you back.”
