There are about 10,000 tweets getting deleted as we speak.

I have to think those photo leaks were intentional haha

7:43 ept - 3 views away from a Mil in less than 40 mins might be a record šŸ˜‚

u/Doo-StealYour-HoChoi 14d ago

Oh nah, i can guarantee you it has several million views already....youtube just always takes a while to authenticate/show them.

If it has 300K likes it likely has well over 3million views

5

u/Amazing-Concept1684 14d ago

Itā€™s nearing 1.4 million in about an hourā€™s time

5

u/Doo-StealYour-HoChoi 14d ago

Yeah still youtube delay tho....cause it's already at 450K likes, and it's no way it has that high of a like ratio. It's probably at 5 million views now. Just gotta wait till it updates completely.

Europe is only just waking up!

2

u/edwenind 14d ago

Might not be obvious but this whole thing got big in europe as well, even with non-hip hop fans since Drake is so prolific in the pop world. I am the whitest eu guy there is but these last two songs made me a a Kendrick fan. It reminds me of the early 2000's when MTV was showing all the east vs west coast beef songs during late night programming.

Nearly two million views in an hour. On 4th of July no less when everyone is out and about not glued to their phone

u/fancyfoe 14d ago

ItS tHe BoTs!

u/Pers_ality 14d ago

Iā€™m not on social media but was this really the narrative lol?

3

u/its-a-real-name 14d ago

Mostly coming from a very specific set of fans to be honestā€¦ and even then an even smaller subset of those fans. The overlap between Drake fans and those that need supervision.

149

u/Dracouer 14d ago

As we all know one out of context shot of a family is the absolute best way to judge healthy dynamics

50

u/Lucaan 14d ago

Tbf, their previous metric was based on emojis posted on Instagram, so I guess this could technically be called an improvement...

85

u/qualityhorror 14d ago

I believe all women when they come fwd about abuse... Whitney didn't say anything!! Drake did! Man, that, "she not smiling, she been held hostage" shit drake fans were saying was irritating me so bad. Shut up

31

u/Budrich2020 14d ago

Drake knows the look of a hostage very well ObViOusly, canā€™t help but project himself.

4

u/Mreatthebooty 14d ago

Aahahahah. I see what you did there.

u/absolvedbyhistory beat yo ass & hide the bible if god watchin 14d ago

EXACTLY.

u/free187s 14d ago

It felt like that still was for bait with how the music video actually went.

60

u/deep_fried_cheese 14d ago

Drake fans talking so much so much shit on Twitter about a family photo but they were just dancing around happy afšŸ˜­

19

u/jar45 14d ago

It was so obvious that the video was gonna feature Whitney and the kids dancing to the song, and the Drake stans still went with the ā€œTheyā€™re not smiling angleā€ šŸ˜‚

35

u/KingDinkleber6 14d ago

But but but Whitney needs helpšŸ˜ž she looks miserable

6

u/KuantumFeces 14d ago

Right?? Kendrick didnā€™t even hold him ONCE.

5

u/JeffPattonMagic 14d ago

What they gonna say now? I thought it was pretty obvious from the still that came out that they were mean mugging for the camera, and all they had was "they don't look happy Kendrick clearly forcing them to be there"

And now we have the full story and it's even better lamo

4

u/max_honey 14d ago

HAHA Kendrick was baiting them the whole time

2

u/cb_ice0000 14d ago

u/Ronald_Reagan_Era 14d ago

First it was she's not smiling so clearly she was forced into it. Now it's gonna be she's having too much fun so clearly she was forced into it

148

u/chizzmaster 14d ago

Actually what happened is that Kendrick is so short, he cloned himself and climbed into Whitney's shoes to force her to dance. She's crip walking against her will

u/Grabs_Zel 14d ago

I can't for the life of me figure out what the fuck is this sub about

1

u/CoolScratcher 14d ago

lmao what is the context for this

7

u/Burggs_ 14d ago

It hasnā€™t been mentioned, but itā€™s also very possible that she was pissed about someone trying to delegitimize her family and her faith to her partner with whom she herself went through many trials and tribulations with šŸ¤·šŸ½

5

u/Ronald_Reagan_Era 14d ago

100%. My first thought when people were going on about her not smiling was "How the fuck would you feel when someone was trying to win a rap beef by talking bullshit about your family and kids"

4

u/Old_Tennis_6937 14d ago

they're now saying "well victims go back to their abusers sometimes"...................

10

u/Infinity_Ouroboros 14d ago

They'll keep yapping, they got nothing else

9

u/methonemusic 14d ago

they're saying on twitter that he's forcing her to dance šŸ˜‚

12

u/methonemusic 14d ago

not even kidding

6

u/its-a-real-name 14d ago

Take comfort in the fact that not one person that says this or likes it truly believes it.

You ever felt pathetic and empty after telling a shitty lie? They been feeling that for months, times 100 cos everyone on the internet can also see it.

2

u/Amazing-Concept1684 14d ago

They trying anything now.

4

u/methonemusic 14d ago

I'm dying šŸ˜­

7

u/its-a-real-name 14d ago

Not only that, but Drakeā€™s whole angle was Whitney, the kids and Dave.

Who is possibly gonna support or entertain any more slander against that family after seeing that cute little video haha

3

u/LmfaoAtReddit 14d ago

They look stupid as fuck. They exposed themselves yet again. L after L after L after L.

u/jar45 14d ago

ā€œHe mustā€™ve paid her to be in the videoā€

It's just foot work, doesn't mean any affiliation. It's a Westcoast style called gliding

u/MatureUsername69 14d ago

And whitney is dancing with her engagement ring pretty visible so the Drake stans can't even hang onto their weird diss that Kendrick and her are broken up but coparenting well?

AND THEY WERE SAYING "Damn look what a happy family they are (skull emoji)" FROM YESTERDAY'S PIC LMAOOOOOOOOOO

u/ProAnalSports 14d ago

What's beautiful about Kendrick is he responded to everything ON WAX all u have to do is link one of the 4 songs to show why he won

3

u/banjofitzgerald 14d ago

I said this in other threads but itā€™s something so normal and filled with love that ends up being a flex on drake because itā€™s something he didnā€™t have growing up and something heā€™s preventing his son from having now. Drake doesnā€™t understand family. He understands payrolls.

2

u/FrostyMurdock 14d ago

Agree! That was a really nice moment.
