Keep your head on, music lovers. Recently, according to ABC7 New York’s latest news broadcast, social media began buzzing after an anchor made a clumsily hilarious slip of the tongue.

The rest is internet history. This clip on ABC7’s YouTube page has now become a viral hit, with people laughing their heads off all over it, while others are still none the wiser about what the hell is going on.
It couldn’t have come at a worse time for Drake, fresh off the back of this bitter beef with fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick’s disses make some pretty strong accusations about Drake ranging from sexual harassment to wearing fake clothes. Drake’s fought back as only he can.
The anchor’s Freudian slip was definitely cringe-worthy, but let’s not forget: it was just a slip. It should not be considered as proof that Drake can be avoided. This incident sends a strong message to all of us: trusted sources matter. Don’t let gossip and misconceptions stand in your wayxcf.
In recent days, platforms such as TikTok and Reddit have developed into arenas for dividing the occurrence. While they share the publishing of the clip and their impressions, this crucial factor is missing: the lack of precise information. Owing to the exclusion of relevant details of the broadcast date or anchor’s name, one begins to doubt the occurrence at all.
It does provide an insight into the amazing category of fallouts when it comes to the history of television. And all they do at least partially is ruin people’s lives, both due to the abstract rules guiding them and by providing no reason at all to the rest of us to keep watching. Additionally, they distract us from the fact that television is erratic in its nature, making the rules for each separate genre of show-up television change all the time once again.
The next episode in the Drake-Lamar saga is about to unfold, and the fans cannot wait for the next chapter. But even here in the midst of the social media storm, it is important to understand what is real and what is not. In the age of instant information access and popular tendencies, it is important to be more careful than ever and understand what information to trust and what to fact- check.
