Plain White T’s react to ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’, the Drake-featuring Toronto parody of ‘Hey There Delilah’
Chicago rock band Plain White T’s have reacted to Snowd4y’s Drake-featuring parody of ‘Hey There Delilah’ – see what the band had to say below.
Earlier this week, Toronto rapper Snowd4y (pronounced Snowday) shared a remix/cover of Plain White Ts’ ‘Hey There Delilah’ featuring a verse from Drake. The track – out now exclusively via Soundcloud – sees the two rappers alter the original Plain White T’s song to bizarre effect featuring parody-esque lyrics and a wealth of autotune.
Now, the Plain White T’s have shared on social media their reaction to listening to the song for first time. With a puzzled expression frontman Tom Higgenson said upon hearing Drake’s verse: “That’s not Drake. It’s crazy that everybody thinks that it’s real. It seems like it’s very obvious. I don’t know. But it’s cool. Whatever.”
Higgenson’s reaction seems to suggest that he believes the song was created by AI. However, after the track’s release, Drake shared it onto his Instagram story, confirming his involvement in the tune.
‘Wah Gwan Delilah’ marks the second release featuring Drake to drop since the last blow in his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar that unveiled throughout April and May. In late May, the Canadian rapper appeared on Sexxy Red’s ‘U My Everything’.
‘U My Everything’ was the first material recorded by Drake since dropping ‘The Heart Part 6’, which appeared to cap off an intense and viral back-and-forth between him and Kendrick Lamar.
The track featured verses where Drake claimed he fed Lamar false intel that first surfaced in the latter’s tracks ‘Meet the Grahams’, ‘Not Like Us’, ‘Euphoria’, and ‘6:16 in LA’. Lamar has yet to release a new track since ‘Not Like Us’, which has since garnered 69million views on YouTube.
