    It gotta be something lmao

    I always assumed it's cause he's a pop rapper with a more girly fanbase so he can get played alot more places cause he's not a threat.

    Like I don't listen to the radi but like is he getting play solo or is it him on girls songs? Cause those his biggest I've seen

    they're not as marketable

    his image + accent has a certain appeal that most UK rappers don't have

    imo Nemzzz is the only other UK rapper that is on track to get as big in the US

    I thought Dave would’ve gotten more of a push.

    they tryna act like it aint apart of it but he 100% was seen by labels as more palatable to american audiences bc of this when u look at 90% of other uk rappers on his level

    lets be real now

    Nah, you're definitely right with your first post. Colorism has played a role in his popularity from a label and marketing perspective.

    He also had the biggest hit by an UK rapper in a long time.

    All the racial ambiguity a bonus but you can't sell s*** without the music connecting.
