lover-boy

Full of trap-soul beats teasing romantic escapades, Borkowski calls it a "calculated retreat into the familiar, comfortable territory" of the more sensitive "certified lover boy" persona that dominated Drake's initial breakthrough albums like Thank Me Later and 2011's Take Care.

Mudslinging a few pedophilia accusations was enough to knock down the certified lover boy.

“Say, Drake, I hear you like ‘em young/ You better not ever go to cell block one,” he spits, before delivering a blistering reference to Drake's 2021 album, "Certified Lover Boy."

The “Certified Lover Boy” rapper allegedly released his diss track a week after his “First Person Shooter” collaborator J.Cole walked back his fiery “7 Minute Drill” against Lamar.
