Are rappers overall noted for their scrupulous ethical standards and high-minded sincerity?

That's all fine and well if you can afford it, but he then has absolutely no pulpit from which to preach to anyone else about environmental issues. He is no different than the rest of the Hollywood elite that preach to everyone on environmental issues from the comfort of their 10,000 sq. ft. air conditioned homes while looking out at their manicured and abundantly watered lawns. Hypocrites are as hypocrites do.

Here is how :

As of 2019, Drake has won a total of 4 Grammy Awards from 42 nominations.
Drake is the highest-certified digital singles artist ever in the United States, having moved 142 million units.
Business magazine Forbes commented his endorsement deals and business partnerships "combined heavily" for Drake's reported pre-tax earnings at $94 million between June 2016 to June 2017, being one of the highest-paid celebrities during that period.

You may not know him but one of his songs is always in the Billboard Top 40.

I guess the tons of carbon that plane would emit doesn’t apply to him.

What do you want him to do, walk ? He travels long distances to his shows, and can either take commercial flights or his own. This way, his entire crew is right there with him. Just like when Trump jets off to Mar A Lago.


Are you going to take a bus today, or drive your own car ?

I think he also is part of the Toronto Raptors. He has several business ventures including his own pair of Air Jordan shoes. Yeah he cannot be worth a reported $140m for that reason...

I think its a fairly accurate statement to make, look at Floyd Mayweather, he is known for being super wealthy and even he has a regular sized private jet.
