LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Drake finds himself in hot water once again, this time facing accusations from independent artist Sixpathsss. The controversy centers around Drake’s song “No Face,” with Sixpathsss alleging that the superstar rapper lifted bars directly from his own work.
The Accusation
Sixpathsss took to Instagram to voice his claims, posting a side-by-side comparison of his track and Drake’s “No Face.” The similarities are striking, with both artists rapping, “I don’t get sleepy off no melatonin/My therapist put in a thirty-day notice/'Cause I keep on talkin’ ’bout beefin’ and business and money and women, there’s no diagnosis.” This specific rhyme pattern and cadence have led many to believe that Drake may have taken inspiration from the lesser-known rapper .
A History of Allegations
This isn’t the first time Drake has been accused of borrowing flows from other artists. The rapper has faced similar accusations in the past, including claims from Big Sean and the late XXXTentacion. Despite these controversies, Drake has managed to maintain his status as one of the biggest names in hip-hop.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The reaction from fans has been mixed. Some are quick to criticize Drake, accusing him of being a “culture vulture” who has built his career on the backs of lesser-known artists. Others, however, are skeptical of Sixpathsss’s motives, pointing out that the indie artist stands to gain significant attention from such a high-profile accusation. “Man has 3000 followers,” one user commented. “But Drake knows about him and steals his bars.”
A Pattern of Behavior?
Adding to the skepticism is Sixpathsss’s history of similar accusations. He previously claimed that Trippie Redd had stolen his bars, though nothing substantial came of it. This pattern has led some to label him as the “rapper who cried wolf,” casting doubt on the legitimacy of his claims against Drake.
The Bigger Picture
While the drama unfolds, many fans are more focused on the absence of Playboi Carti on “No Face” than on the accusations of lyrical theft. As the story develops, it remains to be seen whether these claims will have any lasting impact on Drake’s career or if they will fade into the background like previous controversies.
