Drake recently had a chat with DJ Semtex on Saturday’s edition of OVO Sound Radio – and he zeroed in on Kanye West’s onstage verbal attack last November.
Their talk also touched the Meek Mill beef and much more.
Drake mentioned a miscommunication he had with the Yeezy regarding the track ‘Pop Style’ from the Views album.
The album version of the track had no features, but an earlier version of the song featured The Throne, the duo comprising West and Jay Z.
According to Drizzy; ‘Yeah, I was dealing directly with Ye and that’s the version that he sent me and that was what we talked about and he was like ‘Man you know this is like ‘Pop Style’ featuring The Throne? This is huge,’ and I was excited obviously — anybody would be excited to see them link back up. And then I didn’t know what I was gonna hear.
‘So when I heard Jay had two bars, I was like, alright it is what it is, it’s cool I like that, it’s a little intro and Kanye goes off. And then you know I’m not really sure the details between how that conversation was miscommunicated or what they were going through at that time, or what anybody felt towards me or whatever it was,’ Drake said.
Another highlight of the interview was the much-discussed Meek Mill clash and Drake didn’t bite his tongue about the Philadelphia rapper.
‘You can ask me about a bunch of people in this interview and you can literally ask me what my problem is with them and I’ll tell you I don’t have one,’ explained Drake.
He added, ‘When somebody makes a decision to say ‘Alright everybody’s supporting this guy, maybe I should be the guy to go against him,’ or they just have a series of events that gets them aggravated enough to do that, that’s what happens you know and unfortunately on display for the world, that was a terrible impulsive decision because you weren’t ready.’
Drake also told Semtex that someone in the industry who is known for winning such verbal battles gave him advice to ‘finish this forever’ but declined to say who it was.
He said there’s no hate in his heart toward Meek, but he was out for revenge and felt that the rapper’s attack on his writing ability could have potentially ended the validity of his career.
