Drake confuses his fans by randomly gushing over the catchy lyrics to “Goated.”
Over the weekend, Drake felt especially moved by certain lyrics from Chingy’s 2003 smash song “One Call Away,” but fans aren’t sure if he’s being serious or humorous.
On Sunday, August 18, Drizzy posted a screenshot of the lyrics he was referring to on his Instagram Story:
“The following day, I’m playing ball in the cage with the guys. She comes with her friends, and they put their pictures on the wall. I’m showing off now, trying to dunk and dribble. Break through the middle quickly just to see her laugh and smile.”
Below that, he penned: “Nah Chingy You truly hit home with this one goate lyric, and I had the feeling, “Why do I play better when the tings aren’t watching?” “Also, the face you said tryna dribble like off that bar we know you were ass at ball but your ting showed up and you started doing too much like this real af you are a guy for that bar,” he continued after sharing the screenshot a second time.
Even though it appeared to be praise, some fans questioned whether Drizzy was acting dishonestly for some other motive. One reader commented, “Did Drake just diss Chingy or is he just joking around?” after seeing Drizzy’s posts on X.
Another person added, “I’m so confused [crying emojis] saw the story and had to go to twitter,” while another said, “On my momma I came here for the same answers [crying emoji] cause wtf he trynna be jokey for.” In other news, Drake has assumed a leading role in the survival of a long-standing Venice football team.
An report in GQ Italia (which Billboard also noticed) claims that the nearly 120-year-old Venezia club was informed by the 6 God that it required 10 million euros ($10.9 million) right now and another 30 million euros ($32.7 million) shortly after that in order to avoid going bankrupt. According to Matte Babel, the star’s chief business officer, Drizzy then took immediate action.
“Venezia has always been a special club, and Venice is an incredible city,” he remarked. “After speaking with Drake, Brad [Katsuyama, Venezia’s co-owner] and I talked about the specifics of how we could support. We struck an agreement in less than two weeks, raised the necessary funds to cover the salaries, and avoided going bankrupt. According to reports, “a group of North American investors” provided the funding. The amount of money that Drake personally contributed is unknown, however it is said that he and his group were in charge of “mobilising” the fundraiser.
Along with the investment, Venezia and Drake strengthened their relationship through the superstar’s Nike sub-label NOCTA, which serves as the group’s “official technical partner.”
