More Details On Drake & Snowd4y’s Collab

As mentioned, ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ is a new release that arrived on Monday (June 3). The song lasts nearly four minutes, and Snowd4y has been promoting it all over his Instagram page. Drake also showed the tune some love on IG, posting the song on a streaming platform to his Story with the caption, “@Snowd4y wake up the city [laughing and exhale emojis].” 

Both artists seemed to sample heavily exaggerated Caribbean accents on the song, even using Jamaican lingo like “gwan” mixed with Toronto lingo like “cheesed.”

In verse two, Drake raps:

“Wah gwan, Delilah? Know I’m late ’cause there’s bare traffic. I just show my dog your ‘gram. He said he knows a man that slapped it, I’m so cheesed. Your ‘mademoiselle’ nights are geeked, I’m bend lowkey. Wah gwan, Delilah? Double date me if you like me, brought my cro’nem for your bestie. Sorry, he’s wearin’ a shiesty, he’s not beat. It’s just too smokey in these streets. You’re looking sweet.”

Social Media Reacts To Drizzy’s Accent On ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’

people not from toronto being pressed by drake on wah gwan delilah is funny af

the reason why Wah Gwan Delilah blows isn’t because it’s a joke song — it’s because Drake, after years of culture vulture allegations, makes a song that’s making fun of a Black immigrant subculture with a patois that he absolutely does not regularly speak with

Nigga said Drake’s “Delilah” sounds like a SNL skit

that hey there delilah drake thing is genuinely offensive to my ears. it has to be satire it’s so bad

I realize the Drake discourse is negative cause he’s moving like he on a victory lap. The bbl drizzy verse and the Delilah shit are perceived way different had he won.

You “Hip-Hop” fans are funny. Cuz no way you saw “Wah Gwan Delilah” and thought Drake was about to give the greatest bars of his life mekkansn

That nigga drake really going through a identity crisis with that Wah Gwan Delilah

— Big Gloster (@JakeGangGlo) June 4, 2024

I can't believe Drake's team allowed "Wah Gwan Delilah" to be released. One month after Kendrick bodies Drake & mocks the Toronto accent, you put out the least serious song thats almost a parody of the Toronto accent itself?

Can't say I understand the moves from the Crodies.

At this point, it’s unclear if the track is some sort of inside joke! However, it’s not the only feature Drake has hopped on recently.

He also gagged on social media when he worked with Sexyy Red on ‘U My Everything’ and partially rapped on Metro Boomin’s ‘BBL Drizzy’ beat, which the producer released as a diss-trumental against him.
