Journalist Dragged Into Drake, Kendrick Lamar Beef Clears Identify From Hoax

Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s battle may be over, but conspiracy theories are still flying — including one about a journalist, who says one particular narrative about him is 100% false.

Christopher Alvarez — a 26-year-old freelance reporter — had his likeness intertwined with a cryptic countdown hinting at exposing Drake this past weekend, in attempts to validate Kendrick’s salacious raps … and the items used in the cover art from “Meet the Grahams.”

The countdown came from the X user EbonyPrince2k24 — who posted a laptop playing surveillance video of Alvarez sitting in his wheelchair inside a hotel lobby. It was a cryptic post, because no one understood what connection Alvarez has to the Kendrick-Drake beef.

But, Alvarez told the Brooklyn Eagle the entire firestorm is nothing but a smokescreen.
