Drake
might
be
the
biggest
artist
in
the
world,
but
apparently
he’s
the
most
profane
as
well.
Most
recently,
studies
show
that
Drizzy
has
overtaken
Eminem
when
it
comes
to
musical
artists
using
curse
words
in
their
songs.
Language
experts
at
Preply
analyzed
3,632
songs
by
the
top
Billboard
100
artists,
spanning
multiple
genres
as
well
as
decades.
The
goal
was
to
find
who
uses
the
most
explicit
language
in
their
lyrics,
which
comes
as
no
surprise
that
Slim
Shady
held
that
title.
Now,
Drake
beats
out
Eminem
with
2289
curse
words,
and
Eminem
coming
in
second
at
1850.
Surprisingly,
J.
Cole
comes
in
at
#3,
with
1632,
and
Nicki
Minaj
at
#4
with
1612.

Studies
also
indicate
the
frequency
of
Drake’s
cursing,
clocking
in
at
one
curse
word
for
every
45
lyrics
uttered.
Drake’s
most
used
curse
word
is
“shit,”
with
545
uses
alone
across
his
catalog.
With
this
data,
it’s
no
surprise
that
an
average
of
5,300
Google
searches
are
made
monthly
looking
for
“clean
