Drake claims Pusha T used blackface photo out of context

NEW YORK — Drake claims rival rapper Pusha T used a blackface photo out of context.

Pusha T released “The Story of Adidon” on Tuesday and the artwork featured Drake in blackface.

Drake posted on his Instagram stories on Wednesday night that the image was not from a clothing brand shoot or his music career.

Drake says the picture was from 2007, when he was an actor working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles. He says the photo represented how blacks were once “wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.”
