Drake made a bold statement that 2020 was the hardest year in human history, and fans gave him some history lessons.
A video of Drake in an interview has gone viral with a quote from the Canadian rapper upsetting some people. The rapper is seen with short hair, and his heart design is faded into the front of his hairline, suggesting the video is from last year as he donned the special cut to celebrate his album ‘Certified Lover Boy’.
It’s Drake’s statement that has people up in arms as the rapper seems to be talking about 2020 and saying it’s the worst year in human history.
Now, the Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect on countries around the world, with 6.4 million people dying and more than 603 million being infected by the virus. Many countries closed down and banned gatherings to stop the virus. As a result, countries are now facing an economic downturn as inflation rises and the cost of living rises. Several countries were also hit hard and many people lost their lives to Covid.
“Probably the hardest year in human history we’ve ever had,” he begins as the video cuts to ominous music with an empty street and the camera zooms in on a sign that reads: “If you want live music back, wear a mask.”
“Forget the music, the way the people like it, the hardest time ever to connect with people, to connect with people,” the rapper says in an ominous tone.
It’s unclear where the video is from or what interview it was, but many took to social media at the Toronto rapper’s school.
