Drake Has A Song On His New Album Where He Calls Himself A Lesbian, And People Are Calling Him Out For It

"Girls Want Girls" is decidedly not a fan favorite.

As you've no doubt heard, Drake dropped a new album on Sept. 3 called Certified Lover Boy.

Though the album opened at No. 1 on Billboard's chart, not everyone is feeling the third track, "Girls Want Girls," featuring Lil Baby.

In the song, the rapper refers to himself as a lesbian — and people are calling him out for fetishizing queer sexuality.

Here are some lines in the song: "Please bring your girlfriend along with you," "She like eating pussy, I'm like, ‘Me too,'" and "Yeah, say that you a lesbian, girl, me too / Ayy, girls want girls where I’m from / Wait, woah, yeah, girls want girls."

Needless to say, this isn't okay. As the Daily Princetonian astutely points out, "Drake’s lyrics draw on a long history of fetishizing lesbian and women-loving women (WLW) relationships: the woman’s apparent disinterest in men makes her more — not less — attractive." The writer adds, "'Girls Want Girls' also frames the sexuality of those who are lesbian and WLW as inherently invalid: the 'right man' can convince a lesbian to enter a relationship with him because her sexuality was never legitimate in the first place."

Fans are in agreement that these lyrics are just all-around problematic.

This is also not the first time Drake has been called out for problematic behavior on Certified Lover Boy, on which he credits R. Kelly — who is currently on trial for sex trafficking and racketeering and faces allegations of sexual abuse against multiple women — as a co-lyricist on the track "TSU."

Over the weekend, Drake's coproducer Noah "40" Shebib attempted to contextualize the R. Kelly credit in a comment on Instagram, noting that Kelly was not involved in "TSU," but, rather, a song by the singer was playing in the background of an OG Ron C sample.

None of this is a good look. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.
