Drake Publicly Denies Long-Running ‘Takers’ Premiere Urination Rumor

He issued the denial in a podcast comment thread after the claim was revived in a recent episode.

Overview

  • Drake wrote that the anecdote was “made up,” stating no one has ever urinated on him.
  • His comment appeared under a post by a podcast/hip-hop outlet that discussed the story as if it were factual.
  • The rumor traces to a 2010 Los Angeles screening of T.I.’s film Takers and an allegation involving T.I.’s friend Terrance “Cap” Beasley.
  • Meek Mill’s 2015 diss, T.I.’s interviews and 2020 lyric, and Kendrick Lamar’s recent bars helped keep the claim in circulation.
  • Beasley was killed in prison in 2022, leaving no direct eyewitness to confirm or rebut the original anecdote.
