Music has always been a great way to advertise drugs and other criminal acts, however, they never get chosen to get arrested.

I’d call that promoting drugs, which is not illegal. Advertising means there is a product for sale through the advertiser.
Meta has an obligation to ensure those they do business with are not criminal enterprises. The "advertising" you mention doesn't have a specific illicit enterprise paying for a call-out in the songs; it's just people expressing themselves.
