Drake's salamander twitter back amid Kendrick Lamar feud resulting in fans’ outcry

No proof Drake's behind it, but Pusha T's salamander posts still linger in memory.

Drake finds himself embroiled in controversy once again as the infamous "salamander" Twitter bots linked to his OVO camp resurface, stirring up heated reactions among fans amidst ongoing tensions with Kendrick Lamar.

The resurgence of these automated accounts, known for flooding social media with bizarre theories and spam, has reignited memories of their previous appearances during Drake's feud with Pusha T. Although it remains unverified whether Drake himself is behind these bots, their reappearance coincides with escalating online discourse surrounding Drake's rumored diss track aimed at Kendrick Lamar.

DJ Akademiks has fueled speculation, suggesting Drake may soon release a track containing subtle jabs directed at Lamar and other 2024 adversaries. This anticipation has divided fans, with some questioning the subtlety of such "sneak disses," while others view them as inevitable in the rap industry's competitive landscape.

 

In addition to the bot controversy, Drake has faced both criticism and praise related to ScHoolboy Q's canceled Toronto show. Allegations surfaced claiming Drake influenced law enforcement involvement, which he has vehemently denied amidst scrutiny over his influence as a prominent figure in the Toronto music scene.

Adding fuel to the fire, Drake recently made headlines by wearing a "Free Yayo" shirt on Instagram, coinciding with comments from Tony Yayo discussing rappers avoiding mention of Drake to maintain access to Canada. This gesture, unintentional or not, has further intensified scrutiny on Drake's public image.

Meanwhile, Cardi B has entered the fray, defending Drake against Joe Budden's criticism of his reported $400 million deal. In a fiery exchange on Twitter Spaces, Cardi B called out Budden for his perceived negativity, highlighting the polarizing reactions to Drake's successes and controversies within the industry.

As the saga continues to unfold, Drake remains a focal point of discussion in both music and social media spheres, with debates over artistic integrity and industry influence shaping public perception.
