AceShowbiz - Drake is apparently still pissed that he lost the Best Rap Album to duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis at the Grammys earlier this year. The Toronto rapper let everyone know that when he performed during the 2014 ESPY Awards on Wednesday, July 16.
Dressed in an all-white ensemble, Drake sang a "new song" called "Honorable Mention" which is about second place winners in the sports world. Mid song, a photo of Macklemore holding a Grammy appeared in the giant screen behind him as he sang, "Real talent doesn't always win championships, like real music doesn't always win Grammys."
Also in contention for the Best Rap Album title was Kendrick Lamar. After Macklemore claimed the prize, he apologized to Lamar in a text message that was later uploaded to Instagram. "You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you," Macklemore wrote.
A few weeks later, Drizzy reacted to the apology in an interview with Rolling Stone. "To name just Kendrick? That s**t made me feel funny," he said. "You robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"
