Drake Addresses “Rich Flex” Memes

by

Drake and 21 Savage continue to ride high off of Her Loss. The collaborative album from the two artists came with an entire rollout that was a meme in and of itself. Drake and 21 Savage delivered mock interviews and performances on platforms like Howard Stern and SNL.

However, Drake’s opening bars on “Rich Flex” took a life of their own. Drizzy’s sassy delivery at the top of the record spurred memes across the Internet. Shortly after its release, the song unintentionally became a trend on TikTok due to Drake’s numerous requests for 21 Savage. Though it may have painted Drake in a somewhat unflattering light, it ultimately propelled the song to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Over the weekend, the Canadian rapper finally addressed the memes surrounding “Rich Flex.” During the Drake X Stake stream, he detailed a conversation with a drunk woman at a bar who asked him how he’s able to deal with people always making fun of him, specifically due to the “Rich Flex” memes.

“I understand after all these years that, I feel like I have a polarizing presence. I’m almost a character in people’s movies and therefore, there’s a running dialogue. There’s jokes. You’re either the villain to some people or hero to some people,” he explained.

After a 10+ year run in the game, Drake said that he understands that “it just comes with the territory.” As projects like Honestly, Nevermind show, there’s always room to explore other avenues, even if it doesn’t resonate with everyone. However, he said that he’s able to take a joke without reacting negatively to what the Internet has to say about him.

“But ultimately, I’ve just found a way,” he said. “I’ve always been able to laugh at myself, but I really do feel now that I mentally am able to separate the two. So I just want to stay in that zone, that’s kinda my resolution. I feel really good right now.”

The self-proclaimed “King of R&B” took some time to evolve as a man and artist, and now Jacquees is back with a new album. The R&B crooner has been actively involved in the industry for over a decade, but the last few years have been quiet about new albums. King of R&B arrived in November 2019 and his Christmas in Decatur project followed soon after, and in 2020, the Southern star delivered a mixtape, Exit 68.

Today (December 16), Jacquees adds his name to the long list of New Music Friday releases and shares Sincerely For You. The record hosts features from artists like 21 Savage, Summer Walker, 6LACK, and Dreezy.

In our exclusive 12 Days of Christmas interview with Jacquees, the singer spoke with us about working on the album, which is also executive produced by Future.

“It’s all grown-man vibes. I’m 28 years old now. I was 24, 25, when I dropped my last album,” said Jacquees. “So, the conversations are just different for everything, for me. Even the lifestyle. You know, you get older, you know, you stop doing a lot of the things that you was doing before.”

Millennial rap star 21 Savage has put himself under the microscope after his comments about Nas’ relevancy in the rap game.

Styles P recently appeared on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion and commented on Savage’s opinion of Nas, saying, “You can’t hate the young fellas for being stupid. If they sayin’ illogical sh*t, that’s our fault. Those that came before ’em, now we gotta pull back and see, where did we f*ck up.”

Styles continued, “I like 21 Savage! I don’t love him, I like him a lot lot. Don’t love him, I like him a lot, lot, lot. The sh*t he say tickles me pink and I’m like, ‘I can’t believe this n*gga said that. It’s dope.’ I f*cks with him.”

He goes further into his analysis of 21’s skills and his opinion of one of the greatest rappers of all time. “My n*gga, you not a lyricist. F*ck all that,” he said. “Drake’s supposed to tell this n*gga, ‘N*gga, chill. That’s Nasir. That’s Nasir Jones.’
