The YouTube caption of the original video plus the reaction of the crowd really shows how not-a-big-deal this s*** was at the time. This was the same era when SNL was sexualizing a 17-year old Lindsey Lohan and Taylor Swift was 23 dating a high schooler and nobody really cared.

Thankfully times have changed but let's not be obtuse

Here's the original video btw

"Unfortunately he just about pulled an AKON onstage after kissing and hugging up on the girl to find out she's only 17. Hilarious, but he plays it off well."

Basically u saying it was normal to be a pedo at the time so Drake groping a minor on video is ok. I’m done w this site

I'm telling you the behavior was not considered pedophilic and was in line with societal norms. Not endorsing it, times have changed for the better, but it is what it is.

If you raped someone back when rape was accepted by society, that does not mean you aren't a nasty f***ing rapist. Same applies for kissing MINORS

Freight talked himself into a corner. This why yall shouldn’t defend Drake touching and kissing minors on stage. Ain’t no justifying it

Using "current" data is a bit disingenuous since the accusations are that the songs got a boost from the start, obviously Kendrick tracks have way more traction now after all the buzz surrounding him.
The real question here is whether the game was rigged from the start and these screenshots don't really show that.

I was on hip-hop forums when the kiss happened. It was not as accepted as you’re perceiving it to be

It wasn’t; Push Ups received more radio play in its’ first week than Not Like Us did.

Not Like Us was just a bigger hit on streaming, that’s why it became so big and people have already forgotten about Push Ups

It’s getting 200K daily plays right now on Spotify and it only released 9 months ago. People en masse have forgotten about that song.
