Nah fam, we not going to pretend mudskipper was playing head games, he's trying to come up with a strategy on the go because it was an emotional decision. Which is why Drake's next move is probably going to involve something to do with exactly why he's so emotional, probably Nicki getting put in a hucklebuck.
Drake is lucky that Meek is the one who jumped out with this, he knew it was coming but he probably didn't know from who.
He wouldn't have been able to flip this on Kendrick, who obviously knew what was up, he just let Meek step on that landmine. I'd be willing to bet Jay has something to do with it as well from the whole "i'm trying to respect my idols". Maybe somebody wanted to expose Drake so that he didn't have to come off like a hater.
Meek is handling this badly, none of the tracks were nice and while i'm sure this is just his round one submission he was going to lose with the public even if he roasted him. But that doesn't mean that Drake isn't vulnerable to attack
