In a recent dialogue with popular American streamer Adin Ross, Canadian rap icon Drake passionately refuted the assertion that rap music is “dead.” This claim, initially made by Ross, was met with firm resistance from the distinguished artist. “It’ll never die,” Drake asserted, underscoring his unwavering belief in the genre’s vitality and cultural significance.

The conversation surfaced amidst a backdrop of similar contentious statements within the music industry. Earlier this year, Nigerian afrobeats superstar Wizkid ignited a debate by proclaiming that “rap is dead,” a comment that incited responses from various artists, including Terry Tharapman, Zoro, and Ladipoe, who endeavored to debunk the assertion.

Drake’s commentary not only counters the notion of rap’s demise but also emphasizes the genre’s enduring appeal and its ability to adapt and thrive amidst changing musical landscapes. In his typical candor, he referenced the peculiar dynamics of the recent NBA season, indicating that the cyclical nature of trends—both in sports and music—ensures that rap will continue to evolve and resonate with audiences.

As discussions around the relevance of rap persist, Drake’s emphatic declaration serves as a reminder of the genre’s historical and ongoing significance in the wider musical narrative.
