Anthony Fantano hits back after Drake sends him \u201csalty\u201d DM over music review YouTube: Fantano \/ WikimediaYouTube\u2019s most popular music critic, Anthony Fantano aka The Needle Drop, has somehow become embroiled in a feud with Canadian superstar Drake, after the latter sent him a surprise DM on Instagram. Never one to hide his true feelings about an album, Fantano is revered for his reviews across all genres of music, and has been fairly critical of Drake\u2019s last few efforts. Although artists have reached out about his reviews in the past, he never expected Drake himself to respond. On September 16, Fantano uploaded a video titled \u201cDrake Slid Into My DMs\u201d, where he revealed a chain of messages \u2013 about a vegan cookie recipe. Of course, this was an obvious joke, but quickly Drake shared the actual messages he sent, and they were a bit more combative than a recipe. Drake takes shots at Anthony Fantano over review score In three short messages, Drake said \u201cYour existence is a light 1\u201d (mimicking a low score Fantano might give an album), \u201cand the 1 is cause you are alive. \u201cAnd cause you somehow wifed a black girl. I\u2019m feeling a light to decent 1 on your existence.\u201d It\u2019s not exactly clear what prompted this DM in the first place \u2013 Fantanto\u2019s last Drake review was months ago, when he gave \u2018Honestly, Nevermind\u2019 a \u201cnot good\u201d score out of 10. Fantano, after realizing that Drake had in fact shared the real DMs (not the cookie recipe) on his IG story, quickly fired back. \u201cThat b*tch shared the salty ass DM to over 100 million people,\u201d he said, accompanied by a massive \u2018W\u2019. He also joked that his rating system lives \u201crent free\u201d in Drake\u2019s mind. After some more victory posts, claiming the W in this most unexpected of beefs, including posting a Pusha T review right before a Drake review (the two rappers have a longstanding rivalry), Fantano said he was only \u201cbeing silly.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ll be the first to say Drake\u2019s got bangers.\u201d Now, we must await a potential response from Drake \u2013 although given he usually stays pretty quiet on social media, Fantano may want to listen out for his next song, as he may just drop in a subliminal diss or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
