I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue.
I’m done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That’s the only way my message gets across accurately.
A scan of the interview, which is not yet online in an official capacity, includes a section where Drake talks about West, with whom he had previously sparred with in the past.
Their patched-up friendship doesn’t exclude criticism. For instance, Drake says that he was ambivalent about Kanye’s last album, “Yeezus.” “There were some real questionable bars on there,” he says. “Like that ‘Swaghili’ line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn’t say some shit like that.” But Drake says he speaks from a bedrock of deep respect. “Kanye’s the reason I’m here. I love everything about that guy.”
In his tweets, Drake did not say whether the last quote was also taken out of context.
Drake’s fellow rapper and tour mate, Future, was caught in a somewhat similar situation earlier this year, when he side-eyed Drake’s latest LP in a supposedly off-the-record exchange with Billboard. Drake reportedly booted Future from the tour for his comments, but the two men reconciled and hit the road together in the end.
