    I mentioned this in another thread and have been surprised it hasn't been picked up by more people. It is a picture from an American Rapper called Drake. He's big apparently???

    He posted a backstage picture of a Group of teenage girls, with one of the riding another young lad. The girls in question look quite questionable of age

    Does anybody have any context to this? I personally find it disturbing

    Well Drake is a fake rapper, so it all square IMO

    Why would there be an ATM backstage? (If that is what the girl standing up is using)

    Judging by the angle of the photo he seems to be quite short actually.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    They don't appear to be doing anything more than teenagers were doing at gigs/discos when I was that age, 25 years ago. Except maybe using an ATM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,599 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    U14s are to be accompanied by their parents at the 3 arena for Drake's shows so I assume they are at least 14.

    Why did you post the picture if you find someone posting it objectionable.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,628 ✭✭✭brevity


    Back in my day we were reading the Bible and clutching our rosary beads.

    Disgrace Joe.

    I posted the link and the picture automatically showed up

    What element of that photo is questionable :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    So in summary, I am the only person that finds it creepy that one of this rappers entourage is going around taking pictures of underage teenagers riding each other and posting it on the internet to millions of people.



    Have I taken the wrong turn onto the dark web?

    Even if the picture didn't automatically show up, you linked to the picture.

    It was probably posed anyway.

    You obviously saw a different picture to the one I did so, cause they looked fully clothed to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    It was coming place for rock bands to invite scores of underage girls backstage in the 60s, 70s.

    I didn't think it was still happening tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,070 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL

    How sheltered are you?

    The picture is harmless


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,229 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard

    Pretty sure it's not backstage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Is it definitely backstage? Any evidence to corroborate this?

    It's a photo of one bored teenager, another using an ATM, while a teen couple are kissing in the opposite corner.

    'Underage teenagers riding each other' and talk of the dark web are a trifle sensationalist.

    Ok.... Let's rejig this


    Some geezer is doing the doors at an underage disco. See's 2 teenagers getting jiggy, takes a picture, posts it on the internet. Is that OK?

    If you think there's something untoward going on in the photo you report it to the authorities, you don't repost it on a discussion forum like an attention seeking child.

    In my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,317 ✭✭✭HigginsJ



    :D It does look like you are out of touch I'm afraid!!

    Probably his social media manager.

    You have lost the plot man.

    No one is riding.
    A girl is using the ATM.
    A girl is sitting down.
    A couple are kissing.
    All at a concert.

    I've seen worse at a Tesco.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    I hope the OP didn't see the exposes that The Sunday World did of the Wes discos in the 90s.

    Obviously ur of the same vintage as myself Richard, when kids of 14 yrs age would be at home enjoying
    family time instead of being indulged by parents paying for tickets to attend this type of crap - fools and their money etc - easy money for this Drake guy . As for the picture, nothing there you won't see around town any night !

    It's not the act that has put me out of joint, it's the fact that there is somebody taking pictures of it and sharing it to millions of people.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    The girl at the ATM does look very young, but it's pretty much impossible to tell what age any of the other three are, especially the two enjoying themselves. Never, ever got the appeal about him (and for someone who plays the hard man image a bit, he grew up in one of richest areas of Toronto and possibly Canada, pit "forest Hill toronto" into google images) but it's not like his concerts are explicitly underage events.

    So why are you helping them share it then?

    You cant know their ages (and they dont really look like their not old enough for a bit of a snog anyway) and they cant be identified from the pic so really what does it matter, people at concerts are often showing in pics


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,375 ✭✭✭✭kunst nugget


    My offenceometer seems to be on the blitz - I can't see what the problem is here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman

    To give the thread context.

    To save people from searching for it themselves.

    To let people make up their own minds.

    Just to be generally helpful instead of talking cryptically.

    Note the "Questionable" part of the title.

    Most of these modern day hard man rappers are playing up to a gimmick. They'd piss themselves and crawl up into the foetal position if ever confronted by a legit 'gangsta'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,000 ✭✭✭Stone Deaf 4evr


    Pornography has me ruined.

    I'm always disappointed when an ATM machine isn't what I think it is.

    Is the questionable part: Do men really wear ripped trousers?
