Drake was vibing out at the wee hours the morning to some “Thriller.”
At the height cancel culture in 2019, Michael Jackson faced it at some the worst degrees. Leaving Neverland put a spotlight on age-old allegations child molestation that continues to haunt the legacy the groundbreaking pop singer. All this came at a bad time for Drake who was still reeling in from the rocky release Scorpion to a lukewarm reception. But course, the inclusion a posthumous MJ feature would warrant another hit single but that didn’t seem to be the case. Drake had reportedly removed the song from his setlist without any explanation, although he didn’t really need to provide one.
Despite all this, it seems that Drake didn’t subscribe to “canceling” Michael Jackson after all but rather, dodged a bullet. The rapper hit the ‘Gram at the wee hours the morning to share his vibes for the day. It appears as though it’s a “Thriller” type morning for Aubrey Graham, although it’s unclear if it’s the actual video from Michael Jackson. As one Twitter user pointed out, the credits typically read, “Michael Jackson’s Thriller” while Drake’s screen simply reads, “Thriller.”
Drake received unreleased Michael Jackson vocals for “Don’t Matter To Me,” a song that was chosen as a single f Scorpionand still received major radio play. Unlike “God’s Plan,” “Nice For What,” and “In My Feelings,” “Don’t Matter To Me” never managed to hit the top the Billboard Hot 100.
