The announcement of the collaboration between the two has now made the internet react on social media, as exemplified by the tweet below:
"just drop the party collab album bro."
Others had varied reactions to the announcement, with some appreciating the rapper's and streamer's generosity. Others approached it more critically, elaborating on why they thought the rapper was still trending in the industry. There were some reacting negatively to the rapper and his rival Kendrick Lamar's fans' habit of dissing each other:
"This is how the goat pops back out W Draka Claus smoking that hater pack with a giveaway." one netizen stated.
"Drake gets gas at Mobile they’re going to say, but the culture uses Arco. Drake does stream with Adin Ross the people crashing out. Them other dudes was flip flopping this entire beef, glad he ain’t sitting down with them, but watch the culture tune in and report everything Drake says, in fact they got it saved in their Calendar. Drake really living rent free in the industries head." another netizen opined.
"That’s dope, Drake is always giving. If it ain’t hits or entire careers, he always sharing the jewels with the folk." one commentor reacted.
"Can’t take none of these materialistic items with you when you die. Right Drizzy?" a reactor commented.
"I swear Drake can’t do anything nice and give back to the people without people making it about Kendrick, the same goes for Kendrick without people bringing Drake into the fold everytime Kendrick does something nice for the people." another commentor opined.
