At this point, if there’s an awards show, sports event, or even a casual celebrity gathering, you can bet Drake’s name will come up—and not in a good way. It’s almost as if the universe collectively decided that 2025 is the year of public humiliation for him. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, Conan O’Brien at the Oscars happened.
Why Everyone Believes the Allegations Against Drake
Drake has been facing serious allegations, and the internet is running with them. It all started with Kendrick Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us, which accused the rapper of being a pedophile. But the accusations didn’t come out of nowhere.
Over the years, Drake’s interactions with underage girls have raised eyebrows—remember when he was texting Millie Bobby Brown and Billie Eilish? These incidents were brushed off back then, but now, with Lamar’s track gaining traction, people are looking at them in a whole new light.
Of course, Drake has denied everything. He’s even taken legal action against Universal Music Group, claiming they’re profiting off the accusations. But once something sticks on the internet, it’s nearly impossible to shake off. And thanks to the ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, these allegations aren’t going away anytime soon.
Conan O’Brien Just Made It Even Worse At the Oscars
Enter Conan O’Brien at the 2025 Oscars. The legendary comedian is known for pushing the boundaries, but even his most devoted fans weren’t ready for what he said on stage.
As the show reached its halfway mark, O’Brien quipped, “Well, we’re halfway through the show, which means it’s time for Kendrick Lamar to come out and call Drake a pedophile.”

Cue the collective gasp from the audience. Some people laughed nervously, others sat in stunned silence, and Twitter (or whatever it’s called now) exploded.
While some defended Conan O’Brien’s joke as part of his usual satirical style, others felt it crossed the line, considering the weight of the accusations. Either way, it solidified one thing: Drake’s reputation is officially the punching bag of 2025.

With lawsuits piling up, his name trending for all the wrong reasons, and now the Oscars making him the butt of the joke, it’s safe to say Drake is in damage control mode. But in the unforgiving world of the internet, where memes last longer than careers, can he actually recover?
