Drake is “Successful” Because of Payola?

Boo Boo seems to be in agreement with Nahshon when it comes to Drizzy Drake.

In fact, Curtis blatantly attributes Drake’s buzz to payola:

“When you hear a song on the radio it means it’s being worked,” he explained. “Ain’t nothing there just because, enough for it to be playing every hour on the hour. That song is being worked like he’s on a label. You know I’m sure Sylvia Rhone or Universal — they’re spending money to get the record played. They got the public feeling like its just happening.”

In somewhat related WTF news, Wale compares Drake to Zach Morris.
