Ebro Darden reacts to Drake dissing Childish Gambino.
Ebro Darden calls out Drake for never speaking anything about Black people’s issues after the rapper took shots at Childish Gambino’s “This is America”.
During the recent episode of Rap Life Review, Ebro Darden, Nadeska, and Lowkey talked about the Drake and Childish Gambino beef. “Drake said that the song was overrated, a song that takes a position of social commentary with imagery and everything like that song did, I don’t know if you could say it’s overrated and overawarded,” said Ebro. “It was [song] important at the time and it made people feel something about social commentary and obiously I’m biased because I like when an artist can do that.”
“I don’t know how I feel about Drake, who has never shown up, and y’all know I’m the biggest Drake fan on this show,” Darden continued. “Drake has never shown up to have anything to say about anything going on in society with Black folks or anything other than himself.”
Just recently on Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour, a message appeared for Childish Gambino. “The overrated and over awarded hit song “This Is America” was originally a Drake diss record,” it reads.

The shots were in response to Donald Glover revealing that his 2018 hit “This is America” was originally a Drizzy diss. “I had the idea three years before,” he explained. “I told [director] Hiro [Murai] the idea, and he’s like, ‘I really want to do that.’ The idea for the song started as a joke. To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ — that was all we had was that line.” “It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it. But then I was like, this sh*t sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it.”
