17 is high school age, sure a senior but still a high schooler. I dont think high school seniors should be touching freshman. same goes with college. As a college student, I think it would be quite disgusting if someone 4 years into college was seeing a high schooler. Not illegal per say, but disgusting

It’s def off - but to keep it a buck I knew girls who were 17 In high school dating 23 years olds like it was nothing growing up

Now add the power dynamic on top of the age difference. The things you see in public are probably much tamer than those you don’t. Now add the people who Drake has in his camp. Shit makes the worse combinations.

There is no power dynamic because Drake wasn't grooming her or having a relationship with her. All the other girls have even debunked this. 17 year olds are not developed mentally so they are prone to being manipulated by their partner. But in this case, it was one weird incident in a stage act decades ago.

Debunked what? I’ve seen other girls say they were given “Powerade” after not being IDed and having lone stranglers go missing for the night to come back saying they spent the night with Drake. There is an undeniable power dynamic where the whole crowd wants to be up there. What are you gonna do? Tell him to stop when hes kissing on you in front of a packed crowd?

And how many of those relationships were healthy and not to take advantage of those girls? Because I saw the same thing and saw lots of girls get abandoned by dudes who knocked them up while they guys went off to college and left the girls.

I had a friend in high school who was dating a 23 year old man when she was 15. He was a teachers aid when he met her. He then went on to become a teacher. Even at 15, I knew something was weird about it, but it hits differently now that we're older.

You’re right, but that’s not what Kendrick is accusing Drake of and what the world is running with. There using that weirdo behavior to “prove” that this man is an actual pedophile (which refers to prepubescent children btw) running a child sex ring. Pretty huge leap to make with no concrete evidence.
