News : Drake Faces Backlash For Wearing "Rap Is A Joke" Shirt While Venting About Dealing With "Pressure"

Drake is coming under fire on social media for rocking a shirt with the phrase, "Rap is a joke," written on it. He shared a picture of himself with the black sleeveless top on Instagram while venting about dealing with pressure in the caption. "The pressure from being on top does more than just make your ears pop," he wrote. Many users took issue with the timing of the post, considering his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar.

When the post made its way to X (formerly Twitter), hip-hop fans weren't happy. "I bet rap is sure a joke Aubrey when you’re losing your rap battles lol," one user replied. Another wrote: "He lost so of course he would think this. A sore loser just like Nicki Minaj. The whole young money team tanked."

Others shared more supportive messages for the rapper. "Life is like the stock market we all have up’s and down’s. Just enjoy the highs and learn from the lows," one user wrote in the comments section of the post. Another added: "Diamond withstand pressure. God has you.. lay all them burdens down and enjoy your hard work and success!" Check out the full post on Instagram below.

Many hip-hop fans felt Kendrick Lamar bested Drake in their feud following the release of his hit song, "Not Like Us," earlier this year. He cemented that fact by hosting The Pop Out - Ken & Friends in Los Angeles afterward. At the event, he performed the song, along with his other diss tracks, several times over.
