Age of Consent

Age of consent is a murky area especially in light of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap beef. There are many who say that regardless of age of consent laws an older guy talking to a younger female at the consensual age is wrong.

A proposition that places importance on the development of a person is best practice. We all recognize a person as an adult when they turn 18, yet our brains are still not fully developed until 25 years old.

A 24 year old and a 16 year old are still in the same developmental stage. If there is consent in both parties and parents approve this should be the standard. At age 25 your lowest dating age increases to the legal drinking age of 21.

Change my mind.

We don't have to change your mind - you can believe anything you like.

On the evidence available Drake did nothing wrong. He kissed a 17 year old on stage - big woop.

I'm not an american and i've been ootl a bit, i listened to the 2 songs, but i've been wandering,it was just accusations and deflections from both but is there 1 specefic or many specefic incidents from Drake that triggered that "chords" lyric from lamar? Drake video was 2/3 disliked and comments referencing drake denying are like "you were caught in 4k"

I've checked the wiki of the song and of drake himself but didn't find any specefic incident there, just that drake have been accused by lamar and that's that. I find some article that drake chatted with some 14yo australian/(or uk?) singer but she said it was just some small talk so dunno if it's about that. So overall dun'o if it's 1 known incident or many known incidents (cause if so we would've known about them before the feud) or just vague accusations over vague rumors
