The internet was set ablaze yesterday when Drake announced that his 7th studio album Honestly, Nevermind would be dropping last night. At midnight, people tuned in, and at 12:05, the tweets started rolling in, and the internet was set ablaze again, this time not in a good way.
The album is a departure from Drake’s usual sound and it came as a shock to fans. Many did not expect Drizzy to drop a dance/jersey club/house music album. Many were quick to call the album bad, saying it was even worse than Certified Lover Boy which was heavily criticized as well. Many even compared the album to music you’d hear shopping at Forever 21 or H&M.

Drake heard saw the tweets and decided to respond to the criticism of his album. In a clip, you can hear Drake saying “It’s all good if you don’t get it yet. That’s what we do! We wait for you to catch up. We in here, though, we caught up already. On to the next. My goodness!”
