Toronto rap artists debate Drake's support for local talent amid feud with Kendrick Lamar.

Toronto rap artists are divided over the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, with some calling for a "rebrand" of the city's hip-hop scene amid the rivalry. Critics argue that Drake and his OVO Sound label have not always supported local talent and that the lack of a distinct regional signature has made Toronto music less identifiable compared to other cities. Some artists feel Drake hasn't done enough to support rising local talent, while others argue he has played a significant role in opening opportunities for Canadian artists.
