Now you're contradicting yourself.
First you say that Drake would get insurmountable blowback if Kendrick were to perform this song at the SB, but now you're saying that nobody in the "real world" cares about this beef. It's either one or the other. Everyone that would hear Kendrick calling Drake a pedo at the SB would have already heard him calling Drake a pedo,
1000x over.
The song has been bigger than rap. It's a pop culture phenomenon. Folks from all demographics were singing along to it at a presidential candidate's rally. It was top of the Billboard 100 for months on end. You'd have to be living under a rock not to have heard it, much less if you're someone that watches the SB halftime show.
If nobody in the real world cares about the beef like you claim here, why would they suddenly start caring during the SB? How would they know any of the context behind it? Why would they then care for that context? Are you going to tell me that the difference between the world caring about the beef is the SB halftime show?
Drake's music isn't going anywhere, because it's already ingrained in [popular] society, so folks are still going to listen to his songs. That's not going to change if he gets called a pedo at the SB. Those that listen to his music aren't suddenly going to stop listening to it, cold turkey.
However, what's more to the point here is that, the perspective around him in the rap game is going change going forward, where he's going to think twice about making those fake tough guy records, or trying to claim to be
down for the culture and his reach for features will be reduced too. He could've easily waited out the storm, took his licks and came back, but everything he's done during this saga and in aftermath of it is putting that in jeopardy.
