Drake has just surprised his fans with the announcement of a new EP, ‘Scary Hours 3’, only a month after the release of his latest album. Many believe that this unexpected move by Drake is a direct response to the viral bashing he received from rapper and podcast host Joe Budden.
Key Takeaway
Drake’s announcement of the ‘Scary Hours 3’ EP, released only a month after his latest album, has sparked speculation that this move was motivated by the criticism he received from Joe Budden. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether Drake will address Budden’s critique through his music on this EP.
Shortly after Drake’s announcement, Joe Budden’s name started trending on social media, with fans speculating that the quick turnaround of OVO Sound’s new release was in direct response to Budden’s criticism. Fans even anticipate that Drake will use this EP to lyrically retaliate against Budden, as hinted by Budden’s own reaction with crying emojis.
During the weekend of the release of Drake’s album, ‘Dogs’, Budden publicly criticized Drake for appealing too much to younger audiences and for his collaboration with the artist Yeat on the song “IDGAF”. Interestingly, “IDGAF” has become a fan favorite on streaming platforms, surpassing 1 billion streams this week. However, Budden believed that Drake could do better and needed to step up his game.
While Drake has stated that he is satisfied with the success of ‘Dogs’ and that his inspiration for creating new music is flowing rapidly, critics argue that any shade thrown at Budden on the ‘Scary Hours 3’ EP would contradict Drake’s previous statements. Only time will tell what Drizzy has in store for his fans with this latest release.
