Chubbs Claps Back: Defending Drake’s Legacy After Major Billboard Achievement

Drake’s career continues to soar as his recent achievement on Billboard’s list of top artists of the 21st century solidifies his place in music history. Ranked second behind Taylor Swift, Drake has left a significant mark on the industry, earning 13 number-one singles and 78 top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. His achievements on the Billboard 200 albums chart are equally impressive. This recognition from Billboard places him ahead of other major artists such as Rihanna, Post Malone, and Eminem, reinforcing his position as one of the greatest artists of all time.

Despite this monumental achievement, Drake has faced challenges and scrutiny, particularly from rival Kendrick Lamar. However, his longtime associate Chubbs has wasted no time responding to the critics, particularly in the wake of Drake’s success. Chubbs has always been by Drake’s side, and he’s not shy about defending his friend and their legacy.

Chubbs Responds to Critics and Highlights Drake’s Success

After Billboard recognized Drake as one of the most successful artists of the 21st century, Chubbs quickly took to Instagram, reposting the news with a message that couldn’t be missed: “Congrats. 🤷‍♂️ Solo dolo. Y’all boys not even coming close.” This comment referenced lyrics from Drake’s track “Weston Road Flows”, where he boasts about his success. It was a direct response to critics who have questioned Drake’s dominance, especially after his infamous rap battle with Kendrick Lamar.

Chubbs’ comment reflects his loyalty to Drake, as well as his frustration with the ongoing criticism. Last year, Kendrick Lamar’s high-profile diss toward Drake sparked a media frenzy, with many declaring that Kendrick had won the battle. Chubbs was active in defending Drake during this time, often responding to Kendrick’s comments online, such as when Kendrick released a direct jab at both Drake and J. Cole on his verse in the song “Like That”.

The Feud: Chubbs vs. Kendrick Lamar

The tension between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has been building for years, with both rappers having a fierce rivalry. After Kendrick took aim at Drake in several tracks, Chubbs became a vocal supporter of his longtime friend, calling out Kendrick for not taking the feud further. He even tweeted, “Tell That Little Boy Drop!!! But He Won’t. He Knows Better,” challenging Kendrick to release a diss track aimed at Drake.

Chubbs continued his stance in defense of Drake, particularly after Ab-Soul threw a subliminal jab at him during a freestyle on Hot 97. In response to Chubbs’ Instagram post, Ab-Soul rapped, “Actions speak loud but so does moments of silence,” further intensifying the back-and-forth. However, Chubbs isn’t one to back down, especially when it comes to defending Drake’s legacy and accomplishments.

Billboard Recognition: A New Milestone in Drake’s Career

Drake’s position as the second most successful artist of the 21st century is a testament to his impact on the music world. With record-breaking achievements, including becoming the first artist since The Beatles in 1964 to hold all five top spots on the Billboard Hot 100 during the release of his album Certified Lover Boy, Drake’s legacy is undeniable. His consistency in producing chart-topping singles and albums has earned him a global fanbase that continues to grow, despite the occasional controversy.

While critics may continue to challenge Drake’s place in the rap hierarchy, especially with the ongoing Kendrick Lamar feud, his achievements are undeniable. Chubbs, as a loyal member of the OVO team, continues to champion Drake’s legacy, reminding everyone of the monumental success they’ve achieved together.

Chubbs’ Loyalty and Drake’s Legacy

Chubbs’ loyalty to Drake is unwavering, and his Instagram posts are just one example of his determination to defend his friend’s reputation. While some may focus on the rivalry and controversies, Drake’s accomplishments in the music industry are what truly define his legacy. With Chubbs backing him every step of the way, Drake continues to cement his place as one of the most influential and successful artists of the modern era.
