Regardless of whether it is Drake, Kanye or anyone else, there is a desire to transfer some of the blame to others.I don't think it's specifically about defending Drake in this regard. Too many people just rely too much on the "___ has too many yes men" logic
If Drake listened to people around him that told him to sue and everything else, it is their fault. If Drake was going through with it himself and no one around him said anything, it is their fault. There are other scenarios but what proof do we have of any of this occurring?
No one is coming out from his camp saying, "I told him not to sue but he told me to shut up and then called me a bytch" or "I told him suing UMG was a slam dunk, my bad".
Like with Kanye, people are going to do what the fukk they want regardless of what others say, even if those around them said anything different.
