Drake Joins Gaza Ceasefire Appeal Amid Criticism. Canadian rapper Drake has recently faced criticism for not speaking out against the war. As violence escalates in the region, celebrities and public figures have been using their platforms to raise awareness and support for a ceasefire. However, Drake had been silent until DJ Vlad called him out. Now, he has joined others in writing a letter to President Biden. His decision to join the ceasefire appeal has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising his efforts and others questioning his intentions. Let’s explore the criticisms surrounding Drake’s involvement and evaluate the impact it may have on the Gaza ceasefire appeal.
Drake’s Involvement in Gaza Ceasefire Sparks Criticism

Earlier this month, DJ Vlad blasted Drake for his silence while the war in the Middle East was raging.
And, during his podcast, he came down hard on Drake and DJ Khaled.
In case you are unfamiliar, Drake is of Jewish descent, while DJ Khaled is of Palestinian descent.
So, DJ Vlad questioned both celebrities’ silence on the Israeli war on Hamas.
This prompted Drake to join the organization “Artists4Ceasefire.”
According to Hip Hop DX, “Artists4Ceasefire” wrote a letter to President Joe Biden.
In the letter, they petition Congress and Biden for an immediate resolution to the battle.

As Vlad went on about Drake, he mentioned Drake has plenty of time, especially since he has been busy allegedly beefing with Joe Budden.
Instead of wasting time with an unnecessary feud with Budden, why not speak out against the war?
Although the rapper’s father, Dennis Graham, tried to defend Drake, it was not enough.
After Graham’s interview with TMZ, it was clear why Drake was concerned about talking about the conflict in the Middle East.
But it was not enough to stop people from criticizing Drake.
By Drake signing the petition for a ceasefire, perhaps the media will let up.
