Drake Calls Out DJ Khaled Over Palestine Silence in New Track From Surprise Album ICEMAN

Drake has sparked major online discussion after referencing DJ Khaled in his new track “Make Them Pay”, where he appears to address Khaled’s silence regarding Palestine.

In the song, Drake includes lyrics that point toward expectations for public figures with Palestinian heritage to speak out, which many listeners interpreted as a direct call-out to DJ Khaled.

The track has quickly gone viral across social media, with users debating the meaning and intent behind the lyrics, especially given the context surrounding Palestine.

Here are the lyrics: “And, Khaled, you know what I mean

The beef was fully live, you went halal and got on your deen

And your people are still waitin' for a free Palestine

But apparently everything isn't black and white and red and green...” directed toward Khaled’s public silence.

Neither Drake nor DJ Khaled has released an official statement addressing the reaction so far.
