"Wah Gwan Delilah" is a song by Toronto comedian Snowd4y featuring rapper Drake.[1] It is a parody of the Plain White T's song "Hey There Delilah", rewritten with Multicultural Toronto English. It was released on June 3, 2024. It sparked wide internet confusion and mockery,[2] and has divided people regarding its authenticity.[3][4][1][5][6]

The Plain White T's frontman Tom Higgenson reacted to the cover with confusion, nonetheless remarking that it was "cool, whatever".[7]

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]
