Cherokee D’Ass Responds to Drake Lyric

Drake’s latest album, ICEMAN, is making waves, and one particular lyric has caught the attention of adult film actress Cherokee D’Ass. While Drake might have been aiming for a nostalgic vibe on the track “Make Them Pay,” Cherokee D’Ass wasn’t exactly thrilled to hear her name mentioned in a song referencing events from over two decades ago.

A Blast from the Past

The lyric in question goes: “Shoutout to Cherokee D and Skyy Black ‘cause they were at my birthday when I was searching big booty Ebonies.” Drake references a time when Cherokee D’Ass, a prominent Black performer in the adult industry during the early 2000s, was present at his birthday celebration. Known for her curvy physique and popular productions, she built a significant following.

After the line started circulating online, Cherokee D’Ass took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her reaction. She posted, “Rapping about s–t that happened over 20 years ago lol,” clearly indicating her bemusement and perhaps a touch of annoyance at being referenced for something so far in the past.

ICEMAN’s Impact Beyond Drake

While the lyric controversy unfolds, Drake’s album ICEMAN continues to dominate streaming platforms. Beyond Drake himself, the release has significantly boosted the visibility of several emerging artists associated with the project. Fan-shared streaming figures show substantial increases in monthly listeners for artists like Molly Santana, Stunna Sandy, Iconic Savvy, and Qendresa, all benefiting from their connection to the album’s success.

A Look Back at an Era

Cherokee D’Ass’s response highlights the nature of celebrity and how past associations can resurface years later, especially in the age of social media and viral music moments. It’s a reminder that lyrics, even those intended as nostalgic throwbacks, can spark unexpected reactions.
