Sitting down with DJ Tiffany Calver on BBC Radio 1‘s 1Xtra Rap Show, Canadian superstar Drake finally addressed those pesky “culture vulture” tags people have been placing on him.

“I hate that people think that me being into music from these kids that are trying to make it and build a name for themselves is like, ‘Oh, that’s some culture vulture,’” he admitted. “What does that even mean? I don’t understand. Would you rather me not acknowledge anything or not support? That’s some real confused hater sh*t,” Drake states in the interview.

People from all over the world have been calling Drake a “culture vulture” due to him often borrowing sounds and styles from underground subcultures like New Orleans bounce, Caribbean dancehall, and UK grime and funky house on some of his biggest hits. “I’ll never understand how supporting somebody’s song, or even going a step further, giving somebody a song or linking up.. I’ll never understand how that’s not viewed as something admirable,” he claimed, stating he samples to show support rather than to build his own career.
