Controversial British-American internet personality Andrew Tate has taken aim at rapper Drake after the latter shared a photo of himself on Instagram with pink nail polish.
Tate, who is currently facing criminal charges in Romania, took to Twitter to criticize Drake’s appearance, writing: “There’s a reason I deny meeting all the famous people who try to meet me. I don’t want to be associated with weirdos.”
Tate’s comments drew a mixed response from Twitter users, with some agreeing with him and others defending Drake’s right to express himself however he wants.
Lil Yachty, another rapper who has been known to paint his nails, also weighed in on the debate, sarcastically tweeting: “Man dis sh*t weird AF!! [100 emoji] SMH U used to be our HERO DRAKE!! [superhero emoji],” he wrote. “U let day boy yatchy get 2 u!!”
Drake has not yet responded to Tate’s comments.
This is not the first time that Tate has made controversial statements about gender expression. In the past, he has said that he believes that men who wear nail polish are “beta males” and that they are “not real men.”
Tate’s comments have been widely criticized by LGBTQ+ advocates, who say that they are harmful and contribute to the stigmatization of gender non-conforming people.
It remains to be seen whether Tate’s latest comments will have any impact on Drake’s career. However, it is clear that the debate over gender expression is still a hot-button issue, and that Tate’s comments have only served to further polarize the discussion.
