As Drake made the pictures live, the musician’s friend, Lil Yachty, poked fun at the One Dance singer and said:

“Boy got them heavy hangers in his ear.”

While the comment was in a friendly spirit, it opened the floodgates in the comment section, and several mocked the singer for painting his nails and wearing girlish earrings.

Drake got infuriated and brought in the homophobic angle:

“Get out my comments. You told me to paint my nail so I stop biting them, and now the world is being homophobic for the 1st time since rich flex. Which wasn’t that long ago now I think about it.. Wait is the world homophobic? Smh.”

While Drake spoke out loud on homophobia and why he got his nails painted, netizens did not stop and continued commenting on the pictures. As the rapper shared his images, one social media user sided with Drake:

"Leave Drake alone!"
