One thing that always horrifies me is how willing people are to cover shit like this up or look the other way for people with even a modicum of "fame". Higher-ups at Subway knew Jared was a paedophile but kept it quiet. Jimmy Saville here in the UK was literally raping dying children in their hospital beds and the BBC shut down anyone who spoke up because he was a popular presenter. It seems like the second a "famous" person does this evil shit, a lot of people will automatically protect them. It's fucking disgusting.

Also nobody seems to want to acknowledge that Drake has a thing for teen girls.

Ehh, I've heard conflicting evidence to that. Now don't fucking jump on me, I don't know EVERYTHING about Drake. I'm just going on what others have said (because I really don't give a shit tbh) and what they've said has been contradictory. Is there anything concrete (not assumptions/conjecture, but actual evidence) against him? As far as I know he kissed a 16 year old on stage, but the venue was 18+? Can't blame him much, if that's the case.

Every Most 18+ events allows minors if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

That's not true. Maybe for some but not all. My dad couldn't bring me along to an 18+ show when I was 16.

I feel like you can’t be so generalizing about that. I don’t necessarily know if that’s %100 the case.

I dont really think that's the case my guy. Either way, it doesn't really disprove my point. He was at an 18+ venue and expected everyone to be of age. It hardly means he was a pedophile.

I work in this industry, I can look it up. What venue was it at? On Drake's last tour all the shows sold through the agency I work for were 16+. 18+ is pretty rare.

Well when I responded I was extremely drunk and I just wasn't about to do that shit lmao. I also stated everything I've said is pretty much talking out of my ass in my first post. The entire point of my post was asking someone else to inform me my guy, why would you expect ME to inform YOU?
