HonkMagazine

Drake is no stranger to criticism, especially from the popular radio show, The Breakfast Club, which seems to have a tradition of taking shots at him. His latest album, titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, a collaboration with artist PARTYNEXTDOOR, did not escape their scrutiny. Charlamagne tha God, one of the show’s hosts, quickly expressed his disapproval, labeling the album “AI and B” and questioning its authenticity. Meanwhile, co-host Jess Hilarious caught Drake’s attention with her more casual criticism.

Jess admitted she hadn’t listened to the album simply because she was busy celebrating her birthday. Interestingly, this comment did not go unnoticed by Drake. He decided to take a playful jab at her on his fun Instagram account, often used for lighthearted posts. A few days after her dismissal, he shared a funny post that poked at her initial reaction and reminded everyone of his album. This moment was classic Drake, witty and self-aware, showing he knows how to turn criticism into something entertaining. Fans loved the back and forth, which proved his skill in keeping the spotlight on himself, even when facing criticism.

On a broader note, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U has sparked mixed reactions. While some listeners agree with Charlamagne’s critique about the album feeling lifeless and lacking PARTYNEXTDOOR’s input, others see it as another smooth addition to Drake’s varied music collection. No matter what people think, Drake has a skill for keeping conversations lively with his music and playful social media antics. For Jess Hilarious, this experience highlights how even the smallest comments about Drake can lead to a response from him. And for fans, it’s just another example of how Drake stays relevant.
