"Drake Stirs the Pot with Whitney Alford Lookalike in OVO 'Wife Beater' Ad"
Just when you thought the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef was cooling off, Drake decided to sprinkle a little more spice on it. This week, the OVO Instagram account posted photos advertising some casual women’s clothing, including a simple white tank top, or as it's colloquially known, a "wife beater." The kicker? The model looks suspiciously like Kendrick's fiancée, Whitney Alford.
In their lyrical spats, Drake has previously accused Kendrick Lamar of domestic violence against Alford. Naturally, fans are buzzing, speculating that this ad is Drake’s sly way of taking a jab at the Compton rapper without uttering a word. While there's no official confirmation, the resemblance between the model and Alford is uncanny, leading many to question whether this was a coincidence or a calculated move.
Some fans find Drake's supposed subtle diss clever, while others criticize him for not directly addressing Kendrick's recent activities. Despite Kendrick’s LA appearances and new music videos, Drake has mostly stayed mum, which hasn't gone unnoticed by K-Dot supporters who are quick to pounce on him online.
However, Drake’s silence hasn’t dented his popularity. He was recently crowned the most-streamed rapper of June on Spotify for the sixth month in a row, proving his fanbase remains fiercely loyal.
What do you think of OVO’s cheeky ad with a Whitney Alford lookalike? Was it a smart move or just petty?
