All he had to do was ignore everything come back eight months later with the album surprise drop.I'd argue Drake may be taking more damage from post-battle expectations than during the battle. The lawsuit, conspiracies, Ak and other streamers saying dumb shyt, etc have all conditioned fans to think Drake has some master plan that will destroy Kendrick and UMG. In reality he's about to do what he always does: drop an album full of songs for hoes with a couple "real rap" tracks to satisfy the stans. And that's simply no longer good enough due to the corner he backed himself into. He's the one who has spent months alluding to shyt, dropping hints etc.
The fans would have accepted a typical Drake album if he had simply moved on from the battle and didn't have a ridiculous lawsuit in the mix. Now we're prob hurling towards a scenario where he drops a weak album and gets his lawsuit tossed within the same period of time.
I really think that would have benefited him





Just like you and that cac fakkit
