Drakeo the Ruler’s Brother Calls Out the Grammys For Forgetting Drakeo In Memoriam Segment

Ralfy, the brother of the late Drakeo the Ruler, has recently spoken out on how it made him feel to not see his brother be included in the Memoriam segment at this year’s Grammy awards. Ralfy stated: “On behalf of Drakeo The Ruler, Ketchy The Great and The Stinc Team, it comes off as a spit in the face disregarding the facts that we’ve created an entire movement that generated the momentum for underground emerging L.A. artists to have a platform. Let alone the reality that we lost my Brother, Drakeo The Ruler, the poster child for systematic prejudices against rappers by law enforcement using lyrics against our culture and violating what they call our constitutional rights of freedom of speech- The First Amendment…Leaving Drakeo out of their tribute and by not giving him any acknowledgment of his existence sums up exactly what we feel the industry has been trying to do. Erase us.”
