It seems that the drama between Drake Bell and Josh Peck is cyclical, as Drake took advantage of the inaugural episode of his new podcast, Drake & Janet, to refer to comments Josh recently made about him. As if that were not enough, the singer accused his former Nickelodeon partner of “racist and xenophobic”, which is why he would have refused to participate in a reboot from the famous comedy series Drake & Josh.
Last week, Josh Peck testified at the podcast from BFF’s that he and Drake were no longer friends and broke the silence about the singer’s tweets in 2017, in which he expressed his annoyance that he was not invited to his wedding. In addition, he opened up about what allegedly happened between the two former television stepbrothers following their run-in at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards.
The remarks upset Drake’s wife, Janet Von Schmeling, who questioned Josh’s comments in a scathing video on her Instagram stories, as well as calling him a liar. In the opening episode of podcast between the also singer and his wife, Drake & Janetthe pair delved into the latest drama between Drake and Josh.
Drake revealed some situations that motivated him to cancel his participation in the reboot from Drake&Josh, series that launched the duo to fame. In addition, he revealed unpleasant aspects of his former partner, as the singer pointed out to Josh that he wanted to portray Mexicans with overtones of racism.
According to Janet, the new stepbrother series that was announced in 2019 would no longer be called Drake & Joshbecoming Josh & Drakequite appropriate considering the fact that in the new version, Josh had become a real estate agent, while Drake was a failed musician.
Janet stressed that Josh was the one who wrote the new story, to which Drake replied that it was “a parody of him”, because he is dedicated to music in real life and they had agreed that they would be played in that project. themselves.
Once the singer revealed that the script was full of things that had made him quite uncomfortable, Janet took the opportunity to read part of what Josh would have written, which more than an adult version of the series that launched them to fame seemed like the chapter of a drug series.
We are in Mexico. Drake shows up at a XV years party. It’s not typical. Elena, the 15-year-old girl, is the daughter of one of the main drug trafficking bosses in Mexico. Really?
The couple noted that for years, Drake has adopted Mexico as his second home and even claims to feel Mexican. In fact, on his social networks he calls himself Drake Campana (by the surname Bell). In addition, Janet has Latin roots, since she is of Paraguayan descent, so they claimed to be aware of the tiredness of Mexicans due to the stereotypes with which they are represented in some foreign productions. Which is why they both asked Josh to change the setting of the story, but apparently the actor refused to do so.
His father, Enrique, head of the cartel, sits in the middle of a party at a table surrounded by guards and beautiful women. Think of Escobar, El Chapo. Drake is on stage backed by a group of mariachis. While the birthday girl sees her friends in the front row, people drink huge amounts of alcohol and take illicit substances.
Janet revealed that the scene did not end there, because then a shootout would break out and the hosts would refuse to pay Drake for his presentation. As a consequence, the musician would be stranded in Mexico, so he would make a meet&great to be able to return to the United States, where only a few people would go.
After reading these lines, Drake stressed that he refused to do the reboot of the series, as he argued that he could not represent Mexicans in that way and that it was a direct insult to what they had achieved in Mexico.
Along the podcast, Drake stressed the great appreciation he had for Josh and that their reunions were “magical” for him, but that he had realized that his former Nickelodeon partner’s feelings were not mutual due to his book, in which he portrayed that he she would have always wanted to be the star of her own comedy series. How about?
