Background

Snowd4y is a Toronto comedian who, prior to "Wah Gwan Delilah", was known primarily in Toronto's community for making skits satirizing the city on social media. After releasing a song called "Banned From Toronto" that parodied Kendrick Lamar's 2024 song "Euphoria", Snowd4y was interviewed on a podcast, with the host asking if he would like to collaborate with Drake in the future. Snowd4y jocularly expressed his openness to the idea.[8]
