All right. Hey, everyone. Anthony Fantano here, internet's busiest music nerd. Hope you're doing well.

One more time. Again, despite me being tired of this topic, we have to talk about Drake because he has once again been caught being weird in the public eye through some older footage and a bit of a breadcrumb trail that has recently come to light. Which for Drake at this moment is unfortunate because you would think that given everything he was accused of in his recent beef with Kendrick Lamar, that he would want everything vis-a-vis him to optically look very clean and very appropriate right now, especially given that recent hard drive drop, just literally staring at computer screens in the studio and sitting around on music video sets. 'That's all I do. I mean, that's not what I actually rap about doing in my songs, but that's pretty much it.'

Once again, the discourse is discoursing around Drake because we are seeing him with his hand in the cookie jar. Let's talk a second about endorsement deals. This is not the prime issue with this video, but this is where it starts. Of course, Drake, being as popular and as in demand and as influential as he is, he is going to be approached for, and when they're lucrative enough and beneficial enough to him, he's going to take endorsement deals. Be it for clothing, maybe something music-related, or even online gambling.

For quite a while now, Drake has had this ongoing business relationship with the online gambling platform known as Stake, which in recent years has just gotten a massive foothold across the internet when it comes to online betting. They actually currently tout themselves on Twitter as the world's leading betting platform. Not only has this form of gambling in and of itself become lucrative and popular on its own, but making content around it as well has, too, and in a variety of different styles, most notably during live streams.

I mean, personally, as a content creator and consumer, I actually see the benefit of doing such content live because you're literally seeing the high-stakes situation play out in real-time. As an audience member, there's obviously a certain level of investment and excitement to that that is going to come naturally to that particular dynamic as opposed to watching it maybe after the fact. Basically gambling as a content type, especially in the live stream in space makes total sense.

However, it's still gambling, which I don't say to argue that it's wrong or it's a bad thing, but it's something that historically across the world has had a lot of laws and regulations around it and limitations in terms of age. And rightly so, because people who are younger or even teenagers don't necessarily have the intelligence or the foresight to know when to stop. There are lots of adults that have problems with that. As a result, there has, rightfully so, been a lot of debate and deliberation as to where this type of content should exist in the live-streaming space. And very notably, quite a while back, Twitch made what I think, is the very smart decision to not allow live gambling-type content, especially considering how predatory it can be in some cases, knowing that it attracts on occasion a very young audience.

Twitch made the wise decision decision to not allow that type of content on their platform anymore, which, of course, led to the creation and advent of other platforms that will allow such things, most notable of them being, Kick. The problem is, though, is that Kick, notoriously, has not been very good when it's come to rule enforcement, generally, and keeping its nose clean as a platform, and not just when it to gambling for things that are much, much, much worse than even that. Enter the YouTuber SomethingAboutChickens, who recently made a really huge popular expose-type video covering a particular content creator on Kick, who was essentially using his platform to bait people who were just barely of age or underage to basically expose themselves or get nude live on camera, much of the time not knowing that they're actually streaming with someone live as it's happening. I'm not going to go into the full details because it gets even worse than that, and we will link to the SomethingAboutChickens original video covering this topic down below.

Now, the reaction to this SomethingAboutChickens video was very strong. A lot of people are rightfully disgusted by what was going on on Kick's platform. And the volume of voices screaming about this were so loud at one point, it seemed like for a moment, something might actually be done about this pattern turn of behavior on Kick's platform. But all that seems to have occurred since this original 'To Catch a Kick Predator' video is that this thing has just become a genre on the platform, as SomethingAboutChickens has made a second video talking about this very topic, covering other creators who are doing roughly the same thing, going up on Omegle or one of these other competing randos, video chat sites where you're just introduced to whatever other person is online at the same time, and then baiting them into, again, getting naked, exposing themselves, so on and so forth. Sometimes, again, without full knowledge that there's an audience to this outside of the person they are literally on video with right in that moment. Also, keep in mind, this is being done without much more of any age verification than the other person saying, "Yeah, I'm 18", which from the first 'To Catch a Kick Predator', if you've seen it, you should know is not much of a verification at all.

Now, in SomethingAboutChickens's second video on this topic, there is one particular Kick streamer who has dabbled in this content in the past. Her name is Snoh. And guess who she has some very interesting connections with? Drake. As there is literally a video clip, which lots of people have seen this stream where Drake is talking about a variety of different things, the tweeters and deleters and so on and so forth. You've seen the clips. You've seen the memes coming out of this stream. This is also the same stream and series of clips in which we got the 'Anita Max Wynn.' But I digress. I guess toward the end of that stream, Drake is instructing that they raid another streamer on the platform, and it's actually this girl, Snoh.

"This is my home girl from Toronto right here. Raid her stream right quick. This is my home girl. She is very funny and she's very crazy." - Drake

She also, at one point, threw up a post on Twitter shouting out Drake for actually helping her upgrade her streaming setup because I guess he covered most all, maybe some of it monetarily. He appeared on stream with her, just yucking it up, talking with her, acknowledging even at one moment in this clip we're just about to show you, the things on her streams get freaky.

"Why do you get so freaky on here, Snoh? Why is that? Why do you make..." - Drake

"I literally tell people I'm a guy. It's just funny trying to get people to get freaky, and then you tell them you're a guy, and they still don't feel a way. They still want to do crazy shit." - Snoh

What could Drake even be talking about or referring to? If it wasn't already clear, Snoh also very much makes this same bait you into getting naked content without your full knowledge that this is being being live thing. I'm just getting a verbal affirmation from you that you're 18.

"Hey, girl, you are so pretty. How old are you? Thank you. I'm 18. Oh, you're so pretty. Do you want to flush each other our boobs?" - Snoh

There are literally multiple clips on the internet of this woman lying to people about whether or not she is live with them.

"Hey, girl, you are so pretty. I feel like you and I can solidify this friendship and flash each other. What do you think?" - Snoh

"Are you streaming?" - Anonymous

"No, I wouldn't get you to flash. That's f****n' rude. " - Snoh

We don't need to play every single clip of this happening. And again, if you want a bit more depth on this, we will also link down below to SomethingAboutChickens' other video, second video, covering this apparently festering wound of a problem over on Kick.

So I realized this was a lot of setting up, a lot of explaining, a lot of laying down the background and the detail. But there it is. And I set all of this up to say, Why?! Drake? Why!? This person is literally on camera baiting barely legal teens into getting naked without them knowing who they're getting naked in front of.

And look, as a Kendrick Lamar appreciator and enjoyer somebody who personally thinks that Kendrick is the one who pulled out the W in his beef with Drake, I will readily acknowledge a lot of what Kendrick said on those tracks, while sure, it's catchy and it's scathing, and a lot of it is very It's funny. Much of it was unsubstantiated. It's not as if Kendrick was providing all the receipts for everything he was claiming, but Drake is not doing himself any favors with beating the freaky allegations by showing up on the internet in this way with this girl who is operating on a platform that is becoming more and more well known for hosting exactly this type of disgusting and predatory content.

But yeah, as of right now, that is just the current chapter in the ongoing Freaky Drake saga that, for reasons completely unknown to me, just refuses to end. Please, can we be normal? Can we just start being normal? Please, normal, maybe. Maybe normal. Yeah, maybe not.

Let me know what you think about all this in the comments, please.

Anthony Fantano. Forever.
