Drake is under scrutiny as a video emerged of him in the club with Finesse2Tymes’ rap protégé, FNG Lil King, who is just 11 years old. In the footage, the young rapper is seen flaunting money at a party, with cash scattered around them.

When the video surfaced on HipHopDX’s Instagram, social media erupted with criticism. Many expressed concern that Drake’s involvement in the club scene with a young rapper could be contributing to the exploitation of a child. Comments highlighted the contrast between the lifestyles of Lil King and Drake’s own son, who is reportedly in France learning valuable things.
