Popcaan Demands Kendrick Lamar’s Music Gets Shut Off In Viral Clip
Popcaan refused to listen to Kendrick Lamar when the rapper’s music came on during a recent interview with Link Up TV. In a clip of the moment circulating on social media, he appears to be in disbelief before demanding to know where the music is coming from. He eventually requests the song be turned off and reaffirms his allegiance to OVO.
In response to one of Drake’s fan pages posting the clip on X (formerly Twitter), fans had mixed responses. Many praised the Jamaican artist for sticking up for his OVO collaborator while others were more critical. One user wrote: “Drake stans don’t even know Popcaan is OVO, they’re on here saying things like ‘wow respect’ and ‘wow Drake has the streets’ because Drake completely erased him after taking his flow.” Another added: “N****s in the comments wanna act like they listen to Popcaan cause he signed to Drake.”
