On February 8, Beijing time, on February 7, a video of rapper Drake half-naked and engaging in sexual acts spread on the X platform. While the "Drakevideo" tag became a hot topic in the United States on Wednesday, X ranked first among free apps.
Some X netizens expressed their hope to see Drake-related videos.
On February 7, Drake posted on Instagram, stating, "I didn't hide my body from the world, I hid it from the world."
The incident occurred less than two weeks after X's efforts to prevent the spread of another lewd celebrity image. In late January, artificial intelligence-generated racy photos of fake Taylor Swift circulated on the platform, leading the company to temporarily block all searches for the artist's name.
