Drake Receives Backlash Over New Album; Here's Why

Although many fans are happy that Drake released a new record, there are users online who are not pleased about the rapper's sudden genre switch as he ditched the traditional hip-hop in "Honestly, Nevermind."

According to XXL Magazine, the Canadian rapper's seventh studio album is an experiment with house music.

The record features 14 songs, with only one collaboration featuring 21 Savage.

The LP was produced mainly by DJ Black Coffee and Gordo aka Carnage.

Amid Drake's release, the topic "Forever 21" started trending on Twitter as many people compared the vibe of the rapper's new album with the fashion store.

The "Take Care" hitmaker later addressed the issue during a party that appeared to be celebrating his latest release.

"It's all good if you don't get it yet. It's all good. That's what we do. We wait for you to catch up. We're in here, though. We're caught up already. On to the next. My goodness."
