He wasn’t done, adding, “Don’t worry, I’m lawyered up,” alluding to Drake’s now infamous decision sue his own record label for promoting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” despite its damage to his reputation, allegedly.

Drake was somewhere minding his business, but here we are. But in all seriosness, that’s a lot of people watching you get called an alleged pedophile, again.

The clip started making the social media rounds quickly and Drake is once again trending for all the wrong reasons.
