Did Drake really do the Jamaican-accented ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ or is it AI?

Five weeks ago exactly, Kendrick Lamar dropped “Euphoria,” a diss track aimed at Drake. For weeks, Drake had been begging Kendrick to respond to him for and “rap battle” with him, and then over the course of five days, Kendrick completely ruined Drake. The culmination of which was Kendrick releasing “Not Like Us” on Saturday, May 4th. “Not Like Us” broke every rap-song record, most of which were held by Drake. Kendrick really decided to end Drake’s career for the hell of it. It was incredible.

Since “Not Like Us,” Drake hasn’t been right. He released “The Heart Part 6” one day later and it was basically just Drake saying that Kendrick won. A few weeks ago, he did a feature on Sexy Redd’s “U My Everything,” where Drake tried to rap over Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” hook. It was lame AF. But Drake apparently can go even lower, if this is in fact Drake and not some weird AI. Apparently, this is Drake collaborating with Canada’s Snowd4y for a Jamaican-patois remake of “Hey There Delilah.” The song is called “Wah Gwan Delilah.”

As I said, there’s some confusion about whether this was AI-generated. I’m still not sure? Like, this genuinely seems like the kind of confused, rushed “comeback” song which Drake would attempt. On the other side, it does sound AI-generated. Given Drake’s recent copyright-infringement takedowns and beefs with YouTubers and TikTokers, you would think that if Drake has an issue with this, he would have already had it taken down. Which means it’s probably really him? As Kendrick said, “There’s no accent you can sell me, huh.”

    I don’t know if it’s AI or not, but I wouldn’t be shocked if it was real. Back when he thought that him and Rihanna were going to be raps new power couple a la Jay Z and beyoncé, he was doing a Toronto inflected Caribbean accent all the time. Which was odd since his mother is Canadian, and his father is an American from Memphis. This is one of the main criticisms of him that he adopts accents and slang of regions all the time like it’s natural. Atlanta, Houston, Toronto’s Caribbean community, Miami Cuban etc. Megan The Stallion said it first, “cosplay gangster fake a** accents”.

      Whew! Kendrick really did a number on him, especially with Meet The Grahams!! Aubrey’s arrogance led to his current downfall by allowing him to severely underestimate Kdot. There’s a reason that he’s the ONLY rapper to be nominated and win a pultzier prize! And Drake thought he could take him on?! Stupid AF!!😂😂🤣🤣🤣

    I don’t think Kendrick tried to end Drake for no reason. DKrake has a history of going after other mens’ significant others by addressing them in his songs. And he sometimes sleeps with them, which is why a lot rappers and others in the industry have beef with him. Drake even called Serena’s husband a groupie (he used to date Serena years ago). And Kendrick warned him not to go that personal with him – “don’t tell no lies on me and I won’t tell any truths about you…”. But Drake alleged on one of those diss tracks that Kendricks’ long time fiancee not only cheated on him but that one of their kids isn’t Kendrick’s. And then all h*ll broke loose, esp when K released Meet the Grahams and Not like Us.

    Drake is known for switching accents – people forget he was an actor. Some say he is still acting. And he did use AI 2Pac and AI Snoop in one of his Kendrick disses. But the fact that people don’t know if this is him or AI is truly scary and shows why the actors went on strike. If its this easy to replace people’s voices, even those who are high profile, with AI and most people can’t tell the difference, then what would be off limits?

    “You not a colleague/You a colonizer” Truer words were never spoken.

    No.
    That’s the worst thing I’ve heard in a while. Honestly I always found it odd that Drake gained so much popularity. He always just reeked of shallow pop star.

    This fake accent is as bad & insulting as the one he did on SNL years ago when he hosted doing a skit as a Jamaican. He is fake and his time is up.

    He used a Jamaican accent on his song Controlla from a few years ago. Wouldn’t surprise me.

    Drake shared the song on his instagram account, it is real I fear.

    Oh man, now everything a celebrity gaffes on camera but with no one around, they’re going to claim it’s AI. Lame.

    FTR I think Drake is absolutely lame enough to do this. What he needs to do is go disappear for about 9 months.

    This is why the culture is over him.
