“According to Charlamagne, there’s a longstanding animosity towards Drake within the music industry.
He attributes this animosity to Drake’s Canadian origins and his consistent success.
Charlamagne elaborates on how this hostility is expressed. He recalls an incident from about a decade ago when Diddy allegedly slapped Drake in Miami. Charlamagne states that his phone was inundated with messages following the incident, not from the usual sources but from industry insiders.
Charlamagne speaks on Diddy allegedly slapping Drake and says, "Behind the scenes, the industry has always actively rooted against Drake."

“In his lyrics, Drake has often mentioned feeling targeted by the industry, and based on my experience, he’s not wrong,” Charlamagne shared. “Whenever incidents like this occurred, my phone would explode with messages, not from ordinary fans but from executives and managers informing me about what happened. That night when Diddy allegedly slapped Drake, it was unforgettable. So when Drake voices these concerns, it’s not unfounded. Hate, jealousy, and envy are prevalent sentiments.”
