Radio personality Charlamagne The God has criticised Drake's 'Toosie Slide', claiming it's "wack" and "too forced".

Drake's famous song "Toosie Slide" has debuted at No. 1 on the charts. However, many people have criticised Drizzy for overshadowing original TikTok creators, by making a song targeted for the social media app.

During a recent episode of The Brilliant Idiots podcast, Charlamagne and his co-host Andrew Schulz discussed Drake's "Toosie Slide".

"I think it's wack and I think it's beneath Drake," Charlamagne said around the episode's 1:43:30 mark.

He continued "I think that when you're the biggest artist in the world, when you're the biggest rapper in the world, I don't like to see you chasing trends."

"It's like, why be a surfer when you're a f**king wave? I just didn't respect it."

Charlamagne goes on to state that the record feels as though it was made to capitalise on the popularity surrounding TikTok.

"The sh*t might still work but it just don't seem organic," he continued.

Charlamagne further explained "A lot of times with those TikTok dances, it's just organic. It's a song people like and somebody does something to it and it goes."

"It was like it felt too forced. Too corporate. Too industry."

"I just feel like Drake has built himself up into such a way that he don't have to do that sh*t, man."

TikTok revealed that the Toosie Slide hashtag hit 1 billion views in 2 days which was the fastest music trend to hit 1 billion on TikTok.

The song is also No. 1 on Hot 100 and is Drake's 8th No. 1.
