Amber Rose Thinks Drake Receives More Hate Due To His Biracial Identity.

Amber Rose recently appeared on the Pillow Talk With Ryan podcast, where she confidently took a stance on the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap beef, declaring, “Drake.” She explained to the hosts her belief that the “hate” Drake receives stems from one issue: him being biracial. “People want to act like Drake is not the voice of our generation,” Amber Rose emphasized.
She continued, “You can’t disregard everything Drake has done for us in terms of memories and parties. They build you up just to tear you down, and I think it’s complete bullsh*t.” Amber Rose added, “Sometimes when people dislike you, they say things like, ‘You’re acting white, you’re acting light skin, you’re not like us.’ I’ve experienced that my whole life, so for that reason alone, I will always support Drake.”
Amber Rose has been attracting a lot of attention lately with her strong opinions. After she supported Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention (RNC), critics targeted her with an onslaught of backlash. As a guest speaker, Rose joined several other entertainers on stage to share her thoughts. During her speech, she explained why she became a Donald Trump supporter. Initially, she believed he was racist, but after “researching” to challenge her father’s views, her perspective changed.
Shortly after her speech, Rose accused Beyoncé of plagiarizing and using her words at Kamala Harris’s rally in Houston. “I’m not here as a celebrity… I’m not here as a politician…I’m here as a mother. A mother who cares deeply about my children,” said Beyoncé looking into a crowd of her fellow Houstonians. On Friday (Oct.25), the singer joined her mother, Tina Knowles, and Kelly Rowland to support Kamala Harris at a rally in her hometown. The electricity in the room was already palpable, and once the 32-Grammy-Award-winner, hit the stage, the room erupted.

I don't think people are pissed at Drake over him being biracial. Biracial people already have a lot to deal with from both sides of the community, where you're not white enough to be considered caucasian, and not considered black enough to be black because you don't embody the stereotypes that have bestowed upon you from the black community. If you speak with a different diction (you don't play basketball, rap, or speak the latest slangs) you're trying to be white.
The reason why people are pissed at Drake is because he has used some of the privileges he's benefited from in the industry as a light skin, racially ambiguous rapper to pull shady stunts behind the scenes, allegedly sabotaging other artists, and using the same exact system he's benefited from allegedly with Spotify, payola and bots to push his music on people who were paying a premium on Spotify.
Just accept that you tried to come hard for KDot by taking personal jabs, calling him a woman beater, and you lost because Kendrick came much harder and struck a nerve when he called you a pedo. However he wouldn't have called you a child huncher if you weren't out here allegedly sliding in underage girls' DMs.
So Amber, stick to laying on your back for rappers and leave the hip hop commentary to the professionals, mmmkay?
