Plain White T’s React To Drake’s “Wah Gwan Delilah” Cover

We’ve previously reported that Drake‘s rendition of the Plain White T‘s garnered some attention from fans. But now, the rock band has chimed into the conversation.

To catch you up, Drake released his version of the 2006 track “Hey There Delilah” on Monday titled “Wah Gwan Delilah” alongside Toronto rapper Snowd4y. Many social media users reacted to the song, calling the single a hit, while others had negative thoughts about Drizzy’s recent lyrical ability.

“I was still defending Drake after all the Kendrick beef, but…I don’t know if I can do it after Wah Gwan Delilah,” one social media user said, with another one adding, “I was wrong about “Wah Gwan Delilah.” Sat with the record overnight, can now see what Drake was aiming to do with it.”

A few days later, the Plain White T’s also took a moment to address the track, with lead singer Tom Higgenson questioning the authenticity of the vocals. In a video posted to the band’s Instagram account, the band is seen listening to the song for the first time with confused faces.

“That’s not Drake,” Higgenson says. “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.”

“There’s no fucking way!” bassist Mike Retondo added.

Despite critics claiming the song was created by artificial intelligence, Drake confirmed the single was real after posting a link to the song on his personal Instagram account. Nevertheless, the track is not yet available on Spotify or Apple Music but listeners can find it on YouTube.
