Honestly, it’s non Black poc as well, but a lot of the awful takes I’ve been seeing have been from white people primarily. And I feel like as a mixed race black person, I need to clarify what the fuck Kendrick is saying regarding Drake’s blackness.

When he critiques Drake’s relationship to blackness and his identity, he is not saying that mixed race Black people cannot be black or that “he’s not black because he’s Jewish”, he is saying that Drake has consistently used Black people, blackness, and black culture to further his career and further his capital, while not contributing to the culture overall. Drake has separated himself from other Black people until it became “popular” to be and “act” black. He has shoehorned himself into cultures that he has not been brought up in like when he had this whole era where he would speak in broken patois and use Jamaican American and Jamaican Canadian vernacular and slang despite not having any connection to that culture.

The types of people he surrounds himself with in both in his family and recreationally speak to how he does not see other Black people as his kin. They are either associates or they are fetishized.

Kendrick calling him a colonizer is not a dig at him being Jewish either. It’s a dig at him using hip-hop culture and black culture as a means to become rich. He is literally colonizing an aspect of the culture that is still demonized (hip-hop and rap are still very much demonized as forms of art by wider society) and repackaging it for white people and non-Black people to enjoy and getting rich off of it because he picks and chooses aspects of blackness to present to make money. He is a morally and artistically bankrupt individual.

This is why, unless you fully understand the context of what is happening, Drake’s history as well as the history of hip-hop and rap, you should not have an opinion about this beef. Especially if you’re going to be misinterpreting what is being said by the main protagonist (basically) of this beef.
