'Tis the season for Spotify Wrapped and you know what that means.... time to judge people's music taste!

And NO ONE escapes ridicule. 

Some people blame the algorithm, some people blame their depression era, some people blame the two-week hyper fixation they had on a musical soundtrack. But this year, a lot of people are simply blaming rapper Drake.

Our beloved corny, Canadian king is known for his sad-boy-rap, the fact that one time in a song he called himself a lesbian, and for crowning Toronto "the 6." 

Year after year, people who claim to hate Drake wake up on Spotify Wrapped Day and are faced with utter humiliation to find that he is, persistently, in their Top Artists of the year. "HOW CAN THIS BE?," they cry! And oh, how their followers laaaaaugh at them.

Granted, he is one of the most globally listened to recording artists in the world.

But this year, people are starting to wonder if maybe there IS something a little suspect going on. If you're a victim of Drake being in your top listened to artists this year and you also can't remember a SINGLE day of 2023 where you listened to Drake, you're not alone.

Here are all of the most hilarious reactions from everyone who is just as confused as you are:

I could remove every drake song from my phone & he would still end up on my Spotify wrapped somehow

I could stop listening to Drake forever and he’d still somehow be on my Spotify Wrapped’s top artists list

At this point I am CONVINCED they put Drake in everyone’s Spotify wrapped even if you only listened to him for .02 seconds one random Tuesday night

drake has to be some sort of wizard because you can listen to him for ten minutes and he'll show up on your spotify wrapped

So, what do we think? Is this officially a conspiracy theory or is it just the universe?

Or, to quote quote MY top-listened to artist of the year (Taylor Swift, obviously🙄), could it be.... you? You're the problem, it's you?
