Canadian rapper Drake recently stirred up a whirlwind of controversy with a provocative lyric in his new single “Slime You Out”. The song, which features renowned artist SZA, is the first track off his forthcoming album “For All the Dogs”. As excitement around the new music built up, one particular line in the opening verse struck a discordant note, causing a flurry of reactions from fans and critics alike.
In the introductory verse of the song, Drake raps, “You got my mind in a terrible place / Whipped and chained you like American slaves“. This contentious lyric quickly became the focal point of the song, sparking a wave of memes, commentary, and other responses across social media platforms. The lyric’s insensitivity towards such a painful historical event stirred up a storm of controversy, leading to a widespread discussion about its appropriateness in the context of the song.
Drake, a Toronto native, is known for his evocative lyrics and unique musical style. His verses often reflect a deep understanding of societal issues, personal experiences, and human emotions. However, the lyric in question seems to have missed the mark, resulting in a barrage of criticism and backlash from his audience.
The reaction to the lyric was swift and widespread on social media. Twitter was abuzz with a variety of responses, ranging from dismay and disappointment to sarcasm and humor. Here’s a glimpse of some of the reactions:
User @SleepDeez tweeted, “Whipped and chained you like American slaves.. nobody in the studio told Drake that line was awful??“

User @kayyvella seemed shocked by the lyric, tweeting, “Omg. That Drake line wasn’t AI?! He really said that?! Whipped & chained you like American Slave… I—“
These tweets represent just a fraction of the extensive online discourse around Drake’s lyrics, demonstrating the extent of the controversy.
As of the time of publishing, neither Drake nor SZA had responded to the controversy or the widespread commentary on social media. Their silence adds another layer of complexity to the situation, leaving fans and critics alike awaiting their reactions.
The controversy surrounding Drake’s lyric in “Slime You Out” serves as a reminder of the power of words and the influence of music. As fans and critics continue to debate the appropriateness of the lyric, the music industry is once again faced with the question of how to balance creative expression with social responsibility.
