10 Corny Drake Lines We Simply Can’t Ignore

10 Corny Drake Lines We Simply Can’t Ignore

Updated: Monday, May 18, 2026, 3:00 p.m.

A lot has changed since this article was originally published in January 2024. And that sentence will likely be the biggest understatement I’ll ever type.

The beef with Kendrick Lamar. The Iceman triple-pack. It’s been a lot going on.

Long story short — I’m a Drake fan. But I’m a Hip Hop fan as well. And because of that, I recognize that a lot of Drizzy’s contributions to the culture are often shunned, whether I agree with it or not.

A while back, I started noticing some of Drake’s “cornier” rap lines. After the list grew a bit, I eventually turned those notes into this initial article.

Keep scrolling to read the original write-up and check out some of Drake’s corniest raps yet.

We had to dig, but we even added a couple more from the Iceman album that’s currently breaking the internet.

Original Publish Date January 24, 2024

Drake has now been a fixture in Hip Hop (and music in general) for nearly twenty years. His first mixtape Room For Improvement dropped in 2006. His first No. 1 single One Dance hit airwaves in 2016.

Drizzy’s pen is certainly respected in many corners of the world. Still, there are fans out there who can’t help but point out that corny Drake lines constantly find their way into some of the more respected bops of the year.

Every Alleged Diss Fans Caught On Drake’s Iceman Album

For the record, I’m not one of those people, even though I do have my preferences!

It should go without saying that whenever an artist, particularly a rapper, makes a boatload of music, sometimes some bars are going to be corny. Not even the God MC himself Jay-Z has been able to escape that possibility (anyone remember “Now that’s Spanish chick, French chick, Indian, and Black, That’s fried chicken, curry chicken, damn I’m getting fat” from Girls, Girls, Girls?). Corny rap lines are just a part of the formula sometimes!

But a guy like Drake, who was recently put on blast by Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) for making “music you would hear at a Target”, is often criticized by both die-hard fans and naysayers. His writing ability is sometimes both a question and crux of the argument for folks who mock his true musical ability. The ghostwriting allegations brought forth during his spat with Meek Mill years ago certainly didn’t help.

So, is it fair? Of course, it is! Hip Hop, more than any other music genre, is all about competition. It’s all about trying to be the best. Rap is bravado, and if the standard slips then it’s up to fans to point it out.

All that to say that, sometimes, corny Drake lines do make the final cut. And today we’re gonna dive into the corniest of the corniest!

BONUS #1 “Please Stop Asking What’s Going On With 23 And Me” – Make Them Remember (1 AM In Albany)

Beefing with Bron on wax is crazy.

Bonus #2 “I Still Haven’t Lost Any Sleep, And I Definitely Didn’t Cry” – Make Them Know

Drake makes references to his historic Kendrick Lamar battle throughout Iceman. But his saying he hasn’t lost any sleep over it, nor cried, makes me believe it’s at least possible he’s done both of those things.

1. “Got So Many Chains, They Call Me Chaining Tatum” – Pop Style

Somebody defend this. I dare you.

2. “Say That You A Lesbian? Girl, Me Too” – Girls Want Girls

I don’t want to get into a whole thing here, but there are a bunch of folks out there fighting for their ability to proudly and safely proclaim their preference when it comes to relationships. Drake, you are indeed not one of those people.

3. “Yeah I’m Light Skinned, But I’m Still A Dark N#gg#” – Nonstop

Drizzy, I’m light skinned, too. So I feel that you’re probably tired of hearing about it. I’m not sure that this is the best way to handle it, though.

4. “Sidebar, Serena, your husband a groupie” – Middle Of The Ocean

Now this one comes with a caviat, because I actually like how he finished the bar. I just don’t know that we need to stunt on Serena Williams – one of the world’s best athletes and perhaps the top female athlete all-time of any sport.

5. “And I Turn The 6 Upside Down, It’s A 9 Now” – 9

I see what we were going for here. But, nah. 

6. “I’m Not With The Ra-Ra, I Am A Dada” – Mob Ties

Do I really need to say anything here? OK fine, I will. You don’t use the word ‘dada’ on a song called Mob Ties. Next.

7. “You Toyin’ With It Like Happy Meal” – U With Me?

I mean, it’s kind of clever… but at the same time… I mean… Nah, this corny.

8. “I’m an owl, but I’ll never tell you who (Who)” – BackOutsideBoyz

Nah Drake. Can this one my boy!

9. “They say love’s like a BBL, you won’t know if it’s real until you feel one” – BBL Love (Interlude)

I mean, I guess it works in the context of the song. But come on, we could’ve done better here.

10. “Feel like I’m bi ’cause you’re one of the guys” – Members Only

Listen, I’m open to being wrong. Seriously. If I’m missing the fire in this line please let me know!
