The Theory Summarized

Central Claim: Drake holds a significant interest in "gamma" and its parent company Eldridge Industries, granting him access to a vast media network that influences popularity and the music industry.

Supporting Claims:

• Drake and Larry Jackson (gamma founder) share a close professional history.
• Eldridge Industries owns various music and media properties, facilitating cross-promotion of their artists.
• Early artists under gamma.'s wing receive heavy promotion, hinting at manufactured popularity.
• Drake's connections to Eldridge-owned properties (A24, Billboard, Dodgers, etc.) suggest a deeper partnership.
• UMG is linked to Eldridge, and Drake has a substantial deal with UMG.
• The UAE's investment in gamma. and Drake's subsequent gift from the UAE imply involvement.

Is It Believable?

There are a few key issues with this theory:

Lack of Concrete Evidence: Connections between individuals and companies do not definitively prove Drake's financial stake in gamma or Eldridge. Rappers often boast about their wealth and business acumen in their lyrics.

Assumption of Manipulation: Cross-promotion is a common practice in the entertainment industry. It's more likely a strategic business move than a grand scheme to control music.

Ignoring Drake's Talent: While promotion plays a role, Drake's success can also be attributed to his musical talent and loyal fanbase.

Exaggerated Claims: Statements like Eldridge owning ALL major award shows and manipulating sales data are exaggerated. Independent voices and competitors still exist in the industry.

What's More Likely?

Smart Business Deals: Drake is known for his business acumen and aligning himself with influential figures. Larry Jackson's connections likely benefit Drake.

Cross-Industry Expansion: Artists like Drake often venture into other media sectors through collaborations and ownership deals. It's a wise business move.

Typical Industry Networking: The intersections of music, media, and sports are common. The "connections" reflect standard industry practices.

Should You Abandon the Theory?

It's okay to have some healthy skepticism. It's wise to question the influence of huge conglomerates in the entertainment industry. However, this theory requires many leaps of logic and lacks hard proof.

Instead of jumping to conspiracy, consider these points:

Media Literacy: Be critical of how media ownership shapes what you consume. Do your research on different sources.

Artist Power: Learn how artists build wealth beyond just album sales. Drake's success is likely a mix of talent, business acumen, and industry connections.

The Power of Fandom: Fan communities and organic hype play a significant role in music popularity. Don't underestimate the genuine love for artists.

Not reading all that s*** bro wtf. You Drake haters are really pathetic, grasping at straws and inventing conspiracies to try and make Drizzy look bad.Why? Because he's richer and has more b****es than you could ever even dream of. But your time and effort is ultimately frivolous. Nothing you say could hurt him. Try harder next time you f***ing losers.

If that were true Drake haters wouldn't be sliding down the wall with their palms to the face crying like babies. I actually enjoyed OP's work until I read through the thread and Drake haters tainted it with conspiracies to end his run or send him a message. All it says is he's in on a good deal. Who tf cares

Got it, so it’s okay for Drake to move slimy and f*** over his peers because it’s not public info.

I don't know if you remember but the mainstream media and hip-hop gatekeepers use to clown him so much early on in the SFG and TML days. Now he can usurp them and help fight the system within for artists that were in a similar position as him

That's not heartless thats genius and poetic justice. I'm glad we have an artist with leverage and not a room full of executives with no experience climbing up the industry. Just my two cents but remember none of this could be true we're still waiting for evidence

Personal feelings aside I'm curious, why is any of this heartless? He finally beat the industry at their own game this could open the door for everyone

they're remaking leaks for profit also, bbygirl's biggest song, "bando (sped up + reverb)." Not only does it credit the copyright to Playboi Carti, but the phonographic copyright reveals bbygirl's streaming distributer, Afterpeak Music Group. "bando" itself isn't performed by Carti, the vocals are instead being performed by some (sadly) unknown rapper that bbygirl probably hit up on Fiverr. Their "sped up + reverb" version has also been re-uploaded three separate times; once in 2017, then 2019 (these dates will make this complicated as bbygirl's unaltered "cover" wasn't released until 2023), and then in 2023.
