In this clip from the Club Ambition Podcast, the team delves into Drake’s recent Instagram post made after the alleged shooting of Donald Trump. In the post, Drake sports a vintage shirt with “Rap is a Joke” emblazoned on it and captions it, “The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop.” This has sparked speculation about whether Drake is referencing his feud with Kendrick Lamar or the Trump incident.
The podcast crew suggests that Drake’s post likely alludes to his ongoing conflict with Kendrick Lamar rather than aligning himself with Trump. They believe people are overinterpreting the post’s meaning. Various interpretations are discussed, including the timing of the post in relation to the Trump incident. They criticize Drake for his social media activity, arguing he should focus on addressing Kendrick Lamar musically.
The discussion also touches on the frequent criticism of Drake for allegedly using ghostwriters, with some viewing his Instagram posts as evidence of his lack of original writing. The hosts, however, appreciate the “pressure” line in his post, seeing it as Drake showing off.
Finally, they talk about the vintage “Rap is a Joke” shirt, suggesting Drake wears it for its vintage appeal rather than making a literal statement. They briefly consider whether Drake, being Canadian, can vote in U.S. elections.
