Drake gets roasted for hookah pose as he struggles to 'beat the allegations' post rap battle

It has been a tumultuous few months for Drake, the renowned Toronto artist, following a highly publicized rap feud with Kendrick Lamar. 

While most observers have sided with Kendrick as the victor, the dust had barely settled before Kendrick amplified the rivalry by performing his diss tracks live in Los Angeles. 

Adding to the excitement, Kendrick is also preparing to release a music video for "Not Like Us," a standout track from the feud, shot in Compton just this past weekend.

In contrast, Drake has maintained a relatively low profile. While he's been spotted occasionally, it seems he's choosing to stay out of the spotlight.

Despite this, his activity on social media has not gone unnoticed, providing fodder for Kendrick's fans to continue the discourse. 

Earlier today, Drake shared a photo on his Instagram Story, showing him with a bright blue hookah hose, a post that has not been well-received. 

The reaction in the comments section of XXL and across social media platforms has been overwhelmingly negative, with one user commenting, "Bro I can’t keep defending this," and another adding, "What’s with this pose bro??"

The photo has fueled further speculation and criticism, with many social media users suggesting that Drake is struggling to "beat the allegations" of losing the rap battle, especially with posts like these. 

This raises the question: Is the criticism Drake is facing justified, or are social media reactions simply blown out of proportion?
