Tensions arising after the Grammies especially after Macklemore took home most of the awards in the hip-hop category. Drake was on the hot seat with Music and Lifestyle magazine Rollingstone. The rapper according to reports was very eloquent about his views about somethings in the hip-hop world. The rapper called out Macklemore on texting Kendrick Lamar after the Grammies saying “That shit was wack as fuck,” about Macklemore’s post-Grammys apology text to Kendrick Lamar. “It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Take Your W, and if you feel you don’t deserve it, go get better — make better music.”
The rapper reportedly didn't stop there, The went off on Kanye West's Yeezus album saying “There was some real questionable bars on [his Yeezus album]. Like that ‘swaghili’ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn't say some shit like that.”
The most shocking of all was Jay Z. Jay is certainly the last person Drake should be calling out, given his long history in the hip-hop industry and the fact that the duo had collaborated on two mega hits together, The OVO Sound boss said “It’s like Hov (Jay Z) can’t drop bars these days without at least four art references,” Drake said in the interview. “I would love to collect [art] at some point, but I think the whole rap/art world thing is getting kind of corny.”
Anyway, Drake has blamed most of the above comments on bad press, saying the magazine had put words in his mouth and published things he did not say. The rapper quickly took to Twitter to clear things up. He released a series of tweets about Rolling Stone allegedly putting in comments about Kanye that he never said, and about a last minute cover change that removed his image for one of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. Some of these Tweets were later deleted.
“I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone,” he wrote. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil.”
