Drake Criticizes DJ Khaled for Silence on Gaza War in New Track
Canadian rapper Drake has publicly criticized music producer DJ Khaled for his silence regarding Israel's war on Gaza through lyrics in his new song, 'Make Them Pay.' Released as part of a trio of albums, the track highlights Khaled's failure to advocate for Palestine despite his heritage, stating that fans are seeing everyone's 'true colours.' DJ Khaled has faced mounting backlash from fans and Palestinians for not using his platform to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has resulted tens of thousands of deaths and widespread displacement. While some supporters praised Drake for holding Khaled accountable, others accused the rapper of hypocrisy, noting his own limited vocal opposition to the war beyond signing the Artists4Ceasefire letter in 2023. The article contextualizes this celebrity dispute within the ongoing conflict, noting that despite a ceasefire agreement in October 2025, violence continues with hundreds of recent casualties and dire humanitarian conditions persisting in the enclave due to supply cut-offs.
