Drake went on a 20v1 and barked at a goth girl, which went against critical advice he previously bestowed upon iShowSpeed.

Drake had a 20v1 over the weekend, and it did not involve other rappers. This time around, it was the kind of 20v1 that would put the artist more at ease. Overall, it was a remix of the popular online dating show, with people like Lily Phillips and Lena The Plug coming through for a chance at Drizzy's love.

The winner of the 20v1 was a viral goth girl, who has made the rounds on social media over the past few months. Drake has revealed his love for goth girls in the past, so the winner should be no surprise. He even bought the winner's mom a house, for good measure, which led to a sweet moment between the two.

However, the most viral moment from this 20v1 involves Drake barking for the goth girl. He told her he would do anything she says, and when she tested the theory, he made good on his promise.

Drake Acknowledges His Shortcomings

This subsequently led to a strong reaction from iShowSpeed. He comes into the picture because years ago, he asked Drake how to get women. Drake told him that the key is to stop barking at girls. iShowSpeed saw Drake contradict himself and had a lot to say.

“He was talking all of that sh*t, and now Drake barking," Speed said.

The Canadian megastar saw Speed's reaction and acknowledged it on Instagram. "Darren... I retract my statement," he proclaimed.

It's clear that everyone has a good sense of humor about all of this. Regardless, there is no doubt that Drake continues to polarize the internet with some of his decisions. The fans love his humor, but others think this justifies Kendrick Lamar's attacks further.
