In February 2024, Canadian rapper Drake became the top trending topic across social media platforms—particularly on X (formerly Twitter)—after an explicit, non-consensual nude video allegedly showing him was leaked online.
The explicit clip appeared to show the artist in an intimate setting on a private jet. While Drake's official representatives declined to comment publicly on the matter, popular streamer Adin Ross shared that he sent Drake a voice note about the leak. According to Ross, Drake responded lightheartedly by sending back laughing emojis.
Content Moderation Issues on X
The incident sparked intense scrutiny regarding content moderation policies on X.
* Viral Reach: Despite X's "zero-tolerance policy" for hosting non-consensual explicit media, the video quickly amassed millions of views and circulated widely before being systematically removed.
* Safety Concerns: The controversy followed closely behind another high-profile moderation failure on the same platform, where AI-generated explicit deepfakes of Taylor Swift were widely shared.
