In a surprising shift from his expected summer vibes, Drake has ventured into unexpected territory with a cover remix titled 'Wah Gwan Delilah,' a reimagined version of the Plain White T's hit 'Hey There Delilah.'

The remix, originally by emerging artist Snowd4y, has caught the attention not just for its unique take but for Drake's heavy use of Toronto slang and Auto-Tune—an approach that has left many fans and critics scratching their heads.

The choice to cover this particular song, especially in such a distinct style, has sparked a wave of confusion and criticism among Drake’s fanbase and beyond.

Social media has been ablaze with reactions ranging from bewilderment to disappointment, as listeners grapple with the unexpected release.

“Drake dropped that sh**ty song wah gwan Delilah with the Toronto accent,” one user expressed, highlighting a broader sentiment of disbelief at the track's direction.

The song’s reception is further complicated by its timing, coming shortly after Drake's intense hip-hop beef with Kendrick Lamar.

Critics and fans alike are questioning the strategic thinking behind this release, with some suggesting it could be an elaborate troll.

“Drake is unreal,” commented another user, referencing the recent beef, “Just had one of the most insane beefs in hip-hop history and drops this sh*t right after.”

Despite the mixed reactions, 'Wah Gwan Delilah' may represent just a temporary diversion in Drake's illustrious career.

The rapper, known for his ability to bounce back and chart new musical territories, is already lined up for several features, including on the upcoming Camila Cabello album.
