“GET OUT MY COMMENTS YOU TOLD ME TO PAINT MY NAILS SO I STOP BITING THEM AND NOW THE WORLD IS BEING HOMOPHOBIC FOR THE 1st TIME SINCE RICH FLEX…which wasn’t that long ago now that I think about it,” Drake wrote, referring to his collaboration with 21 Savage on their hit single “Rich Flex.”
“Wait is the world homophobic? Smh,” he added.
