Are you seriously suggesting posting a youtube video about fake dm sugar cookie recipes was the good move here?

I thought it was a funny way to approach the actual situation. Drake just DMs this guy in the middle of the night to put him down, basically saying that the only reason his life is worth anything is because he's still alive (and "somehow" managed to marry a black woman).

Rather than making a video like "uguu Drake attacked meee!!!!", the guy makes fun of the response by making up a completely uncharacteristic set of fake DMs depicting Drake as a friendly and thoughtful guy. Absolutely taking the piss out of Drake, sure, but in a way that kills him with kindness.

The video in the OP wouldn't have happened if Drake had seen the video and gone "well shit he's not addressing what I said to him, whatever I guess". He saw that Fantano wasn't taking him seriously and decided to show everyone what he actually said, which is a one-sided put-down which he initiated which makes him look like even more of a bitch than if he actually did send Fantano a cookie recipe.

What I'm saying is that making that video with the fake cookie recipe was the funnier option. He could have done the standard YouTuber thing and gone out of his way to smear Drake - look at that YouTuber who did the "roast battles" recently, who got so buttmad when his event was criticized by others he made the most sarcastically self-absorbed cry-baby pity party video he could to "get back at the haters". Fantano saw one of the most streamed artists in the world telling him he's worth next to nothing, and rather than milk that for clout, he made a fucking joke out of it by depicting Drake as a thoughtful man who sends baking recipes to other people as a means of burying the hatchet.

And by doing that, Drake ended up outing himself as a much more petulant and graceless figure, which makes the joke even funnier because it's completely at odds with the figure that Fantano's video painted him as. He proudly boasted that he sent an internet content creator messages devaluing his worth as a human being, because that same content creator ignored his messages and made up a story about being sent a cookie recipe by Drake instead. I honestly think that's a funnier outcome, and Fantano comes out of this looking better because he can at least poke fun at the situation and have a good time. It seems like Drake is spending all of his time trying to make this beef into an actual real thing, while Fantano is clearly taking it easy.

Like I said, Drake leaked his own DMs because Fantano trolled him. Fantano could have just ignored it and "been a professional" - to which I would say, maybe Drake should have been a professional and not sent those DMs in the first place - but I think he's tackled this whole thing with a lot more humor and humility than Drake has.
