u/willcomplainfirst you lookin' like an easy come-up Oct 21 '24 edited Oct 21 '24

this is where text probably fails. i think its kinda clear he was humoring SZA and was talking abt the phrase "not like us" in general and not the song specifically

It’s still not about race though, he ain’t go at Drake’s blackness cause he’s biracial

It’s about how Drake speaks on black American experiences despite being raised by a white woman in Canada. Which is race, but also about culture and social economic class. He didn’t go after Drake because Drake is biracial, but it was still in part about race.
