Drake sent shockwaves through social media with his latest move on June 3, leaving fans scratching their heads in confusion. The rapper, still embroiled in the aftermath of the Kendrick Lamar beef, shared a Toronto-twist version of “Hey There Delilah” titled “Wah Gwan Delilah.” While the original cover was met with mixed reactions, Drake’s subsequent Instagram Story post has led many to question whether it was all part of an elaborate troll.
In the post, Drake shared a screenshot of the song along with the caption “Wake up the city,” referring to Toronto, his hometown, where the featured artist, Snowd4y, also originates. Adding to the intrigue, Drake included a laughing emoji and an emoji blowing smoke, seemingly acknowledging the controversial nature of the song and its potential reception among fans. Notably, “Wah Gwan Delilah” was not released on streaming platforms and is only available on YouTube or Soundcloud, further fueling speculation about Drake’s intentions.
This isn’t the first time Drake has toyed with fans’ expectations. His previous Soundcloud release, “Taylor Made Freestyle,” utilized AI to recreate the voices of Tupac and Snoop Dogg, serving as a veiled jab at Kendrick Lamar. Similarly, “Wah Gwan Delilah” has left fans divided, with some initially questioning whether it was AI-generated. Drake’s penchant for trolling has been evident since the fallout from “Not Like Us,” but whether this latest move is part of a calculated strategy or simply a playful prank remains unclear.
As fans eagerly await Drake’s next move, one thing is certain: the 6 God’s enigmatic persona continues to captivate and confound audiences alike. Whether “Wah Gwan Delilah” represents a misstep or a masterstroke in Drake’s storied career remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: the intrigue surrounding his every move shows no signs of waning.
