Is It Spoiling or Just Being Generous? Victoria Monét Discusses Relationships
Recently, Victoria Monét sat down with Complex to discuss the distinction between tricking and genuinely showering someone with gifts. During their conversation, the interviewer labeled Drake a “professional trickster” and a “master of trick-or-treat.” Victoria acknowledged that he fits the “trickster” label, yet questioned the true meaning of tricking. She pondered if those who wine and dine someone while giving extravagant gifts are genuinely invested or merely looking for “write-offs.” Ultimately, she expressed her curiosity about the mindset behind such generous spending.
“Do you feel like you could save the world with what you can provide?” Victoria continued, “Is it that you want a father figure? Is there a kink involved? I’m interested in understanding […] What goes through the mind of a trickster?”
It’s Not Trickin’ If You Have It! Drake Affirms His Generosity
Well, wow! After Victoria Monét mentioned Drake during their discussion, he quickly jumped into the comment section of LevelUpHipHop’s clip to share his thoughts. The Iceman conveyed that he believes investing in those you care about brings blessings back around. He views it as a way to acknowledge consistent love and loyalty.
“There’s a return on investment in your soul for doing things for people you believe deserve it. Whether you believe that initially and they prove otherwise over time or it’s a gesture to acknowledge ongoing love and loyalty, the key difference is that there’s no expectation on the other side. It’s about self-awareness and recognizing that you’ve been blessed with an abundance of wealth, and joy is the emotion that excites you most,” Drake elaborated.
Drizzy emphasized that the essence lies in self-awareness and giving to others because you have been fortunate yourself. So essentially, it’s not tricking if you have it!
“Once you’ve found enough joy in material possessions for yourself, sometimes the only way forward is to see the joy on the faces of others after surprising them with generous gestures. Transactional exchanges with expectations of intimacy exist on a different level,”
