AceShowbiz - Drake finally addresses Kanye West's onstage rant last November, on which 'Ye claimed that Drake and DJ Khaled's music was overplayed on radio stations. During an interview with DJ Semtex on Beats 1's OVO Radio on Saturday, February 18, Drizzy admitted that he was puzzled by the comments.
"I think everybody has their own little things going on. I'm not really sure what he's referring to half the time because, in the same breath, I went from working on a project with him to him sort of, like, publicly s**tting on me and DJ Khaled for being on the radio too much," Drake said during the hourlong radio interview.
"When I hear that, I just distance myself from it," he continued, "If that's what it is, I don't even really understand the point you're trying to make, but whatever it is that you're going through, I accept it. I don't respect it at all. Me and Khaled are both just, like, good people. I'm not really sure why we're the target of your choice that you made that night. But again, I accept what you're going through."
During the intensive interview, Drizzy also opened up about his public feud with Meek Mill, which sparked after the Philadelphia spitter accused Drake of using a ghostwriter to write some of his singles. The feud resulted in a series of diss tracks, including Drake's "Charged Up" and "Back to Back".
"I respect revenge when it's warranted. It's not something that I'm proud of because it took just as much of an emotional toll on me - maybe not as much as it did on him - but you always gotta hear about it," Drake said. "And just seeing people get so riled up on negativity, it doesn't feel great... It was just embarrassing to witness, you know? If he had revealed some huge thing, you know, you would have heard a lot more people, peers of mine chime in."
Elsewhere in the interview, the "Fake Love" hitmaker hit out at the Grammys. He said, "Even though 'Hotline Bling' is not a rap song, the only category they can manage to fit me in is a rap category. Maybe because I've rapped in the past or because I'm black. I can't figure out why. I won two awards, but I don't even want them because it just feels weird for some reason."
