Drake's Relationship with Women and Career Impact

I think that people have been making fun of him for such a long time that he has really internalized all that and that dictates the way he probably moves behind the scenes I'm your girl and your girl and your girl because you treated me like this you think I wasn't cool enough he's been holding a lot close to the chest a lot of in the industry do not try to everybody's that is not true you introduce her to your girl extra friendly smiling exchanging numbers 30 40 50 60 and 70 times and it ain't just rappers the athlet the actors the golfers the executives the tech people what is the real issue with you in marriage now I got to dig in and see what's your family like oh your dad left you at 5 oh I get that he never walked you to the bus stop you're mad about this since the beginning of his career Drake's relationship with women has always been at the Forefront of his music whether his songs were about going through a breakup occasionally depicting himself as sensitive or outright portraying himself as a simp Drake seemed to genuinely admire women but over time things drastically changed until the point he morphed into the self-proclaimed certified Lover Boy from venting his feelings of loneliness to an ex on Marvin's Room through to accusations of rampant misogyny on the 21 Savage assisted her loss even Drizzy claimed that the only woman he loves is his mom on God's plan was a drastic departure from when he was actively trying to settle down but where the good guy image was once intact and helped Skyrocket his career to the top that's long gone now and replaced with the perception that as Kendrick said Drizzy doesn't even like women in fact he only values them when it comes to sexual gratification and as a way to have a oneup on his enemies and and friends in short there's now a belief that Drake has a serious sex addiction which has basically created the predicament he finds himself in today he presents himself as like this smart composed thoughtful businessman but you're your friends girls you're not them for them by the way there's tons of bad you're not just doing to get a nut you're your man that's what you're doing it sounds crazy but that's what it's about I'm going to do something that I know that I'm going to have over you for okay currently operating in a state that may feel avoidance IDE him while deviating from the image that first made him successful Drake has made it clear that he's not a onew woman man at this point in his life nor does he plan to change that and while that makes him no different from many other superstars the problem for the six God is that there's a feeling of Spite and self-sabotage to how he goes about it that has nearly destroyed his career several times over so let's break down the roots of this addiction and how it's been hiding in plain sight for a long time now when you pattern yourself as a ladies man it's really no surprise that you might ruffle some feathers or act impulsively when things don't go your way just look at what happened in the aftermath of Drake flying a fresh-faced ice spice out to oo Fest only to suddenly cut tiddes with her when it appeared he didn't get what he wanted out of it it's been speculated that Drake unfollowed you afterwards do you want to tell us some tea on that he did I don't know why though shame on you Drake shame on you you shouldn't have done that happy to go someone in an instant Drake's objectives with up and comers like ice come into focus when you see how much he Prides himself on being a bachelor so when he doesn't get his we his superstardom allows him to move in a way without any consequences and this Behavior was further highlighted in an interview with Angie Martinez where French Montana basically lifted the lid on how Drake operates there people with more reputation than me Drake is close but you and Drake are friends Splash Bros snipe Squad you know he gave me the snipe Squad thing 10 rules 10 snipe Commandments thou shall not snipe a Bros t Thou shalt never pillow talk or discuss business with a tting on any import from the United States Canada or any other region Thou shalt practice a maximum 3-day export rule to avoid frustration you fly anybody in give him 3 days so you can avoid frustration 3 days maximum with Drake basically retaining the mindset of a man in his 20s it explains why Drizzy also doesn't care whose toes he steps on including sniping someone else's team take for instance the story of Naomi Sharon unlike ice spice it's believed that she welcomed Drake's advances despite being in an 8-year relationship to make matters worse Drake had worked out with her then boyfriend just days before only to later post an IG picture after the story broke captioned without remorse dirty imagine having the most beautiful support supportive and faithful relationship 8 years long with an engagement and wedding plan her former fiance Jamie Suns said then this major opportunity comes and a world star calls your fiance to sign a record deal flies you both over and then out of nowhere all the trust is vanished with knives in your back and in your heart I am no longer with the person people think I am together with I'm no longer with the eight years I thought I was together with with someone like Jamie participating in the music industry at a lower level Drake clearly had no concerns when it came to trampling over his life to get what he wanted but even though he got away with just a bit of reputational damage that time recently it's become clear that Drake's promise to French Montana about never getting involved with someone else's girl was just talk because when you look back Drake has a habit of bringing women into almost all of his beefs with other rappers and in the view of one of his biggest supporters and academics this is where Drake has been a habitual line Crosser I keep asking people and they're like yo listen man Drake's A little sloppy with it all these guys they share the same crop of girls it's a thin line between like yo these are like the community chicks that we all and yo you're doing certain to kind of like disrespect in a viiew this has always been a key part of how Drake has operated long before it led future to call him a fan and we don't trust you case in point just look at why his decade long Feud with CB started imagine how bold Drake was when Drake sends a bottle over there with a note that says I'm the love of your life that was supposedly the note and right then beef starts so Drake is in the club supposedly with meek and some other people and Chris Brown is there and Drake sends a a thing over to be like I'm the love of your life Drake is a Savage you got to keep your girl away from Drake back when Drake and Chris had some bad blood over Rihanna the whole thing likely made things awkward at parties but didn't really spill out onto record or really even enter the public Consciousness at the time but that hasn't always been the case and much like his dispute over Princess Diana with future it was his decision to mess with other people's girls that led his ghost riding scandal with Quinton Miller to come to light in the first place in turn creating a narrative that's haunted him ever since that's that's how the whole thing started with even the reference tracks DJ Drama says bro he didn't write that the guy in my studio in Atlanta he recorded it and Drake just sang it over that's how that starts so two guys who thought Drake their chicks basically created that moment but while all of these incidents could have been damaging to his career if you need to look at how far Drake will push it when it comes to women look no further than him betraying his very own Mentor when he was at his lowest a story that was brought to light in a bar by Kendrick Lamar is not like us the allegations that Drake on Wayne's girl when he was in jail have actually been around for a while and to weezy's credit he's done his best to shoot Drake some Bale oh I wasn't worri about that that's just how life go when you locked up she still be texting me and stuff you know however this is only one side of the real story that never gets reported because as Wheezy disclosed in his autobiography this actually took a real toll on as a man he wrote I woke up still feeling messed up about the up day that I had hell is what it was I'm used to arguing with my girl on a daily basis but finding out that she'd messed with Drake was the absolute worst thing I could have found out seemingly happy to backstab one of the people who had done the most for his career this would point to the sheer depths of Drake's issues when it comes to his addiction but as for how Drake's Addiction manifested in the first place there's a couple of theories but both boil down to the same thing it's his way of getting back at the tough times in his youth or proving everyone wrong who doubted that a Suburban Jewish kid from Toronto could make it big in hip-hop and during an in-depth conversation on the Joe Button podcast they weighed in on how people's perceptions of him influenced his tendency to forget his loyalties and go after women who should be off limits let's have a real conversation about how talk about Drake behind the scenes and how people in the industry talk about Drake and how they view him view Drake like he's a corny who grew up not getting no and now he got money and now he's able to afford that right left with a deficit he's now trying to make up for this explains some of the recklessness in how Drake pursues women because for him it's personal and a way to further assert his place at the top bottom line is most of these in the industry that have grown up a certain way don't like that this moves in the fashion he moved because they never had a respect for him you just said that a lot of industry do that a lot of in the industry do not try to everybody's that is not true you introduce them to your girl extra friendly smiling exchanging num 19 30 40 50 60 and 70 times and it ain't just rappers the athletes the actors the golfers the executives the tech people the difference is you might be more comfortable being way more vocal about that that you never respected while Joe Buton thinks that this is all about how he's been treated in the game and is now trying to get back others feel it goes deeper than just rap according to nesca and Ebro it goes back to how he's been treated by the world as a whole not just the industry because when the world has looked down on him or made him a figure of sad boy memes being the guy who could steal your girl in a moment's notice is his way of proving himself as the star he always saw himself as I think that people have been making fun of him for such a long time that he has really internalized all that and that dictates the way he probably moves behind the scenes I'm your girl and your girl and your girl because you treated me like this you think I wasn't cool enough he's been holding a lot close to the chest due to social media and people listing all of the people it was like a list of 40 people that Drake either has problems or has had problems with the women the men the women have decided to be with at a certain point you start going wait it can't be everybody else bro but above all it's not just Drake's obvious overreliance on sex that's the issue nor even his ruthless backstabbing of his enemies the real problem is how his behavior and personal circumstances have shaped a negative attitude towards women that threatens to be his downfall because from push a t to Kendrick Lamar every time that he's been forced to take an L in a battle it's when he comes at someone's spouse or fiance and in push his view this goes all the way back to the trials and tribulations of his youth now I got to dig deeper what is the real issue with you in marriage now I got to dig in and see what's your family like oh your dad left you at five oh I get that he never walked you to the bus stop you're mad about this left without a strong role model and instead given a father who's still chasing girls himself to this day in a slight creepy way it explains why Drake thinks nothing of getting involved with someone else's girl nor discrediting someone else's wife while for someone like push Kendrick or even ASAP Rocky who adopted the Drizzy beef after lying about his wife from for all the dogs this wouldn't be an option in turn creating the sense that Drake may have plenty of relationships with women but doesn't ultimately respect them left embarrassed by his own actions and with his peers now calling him out Drake's gotten a serious wakeup call to change his ways because if he doesn't this addiction might destroy his career his legacy and maybe even is life
