The 37-year-old Canadian superstar wrote,

[The] journalistic world cashing out on negativity and discouraging the youth from finding their way now more than ever,

Drake continued,

The noise is all calculated; keep pushing forward.

His Instagram Story included a 2014 video of then-University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban.

When somebody does something wrong, everybody wants to know how you’re gonna punish the guy. But there’s not enough for 19- and 20-year-old kids, with people saying, ‘Why don’t you give them another chance?

Saban says in the clip. Drake has recently had disputes with Sowmya Krishnamurthy and suffered from Joe Budden’s criticism of For All the Dogs.

Do you agree with Drake that the media discourages the youth?
