Drizzy don’t wanna catch a body like that…owwwwwwww

Drake spoke to the good folks over at Nah Right and gave the scoop on Drake and his short feud with Common. Here’s what he had to say about that and a few other aspects of his career.

So people want to know: will you respond to Common?

No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.

There’s a line from your “Stay Schemin” verse about Kobe’s soon to be ex-wife Vanessa that has gotten some negative attention. Can you speak to what you were trying to express with that line?

That line came from a conversation about being this young and making this much money and the fear of losing it all. I just used his potential situation to address my own life. I never intended to offend Vanessa or anyone else. That line had everything to do with me and what goes on in my head as a 25 year old man with this much income flowing in. Kobe is and always will be a friend and an icon to me.

Following the release of Take Care, rumors started to circulate that you had fired your entire staff, was there any truth to that?

No my team is stronger than ever and ready for 2012. I’m excited for what this year will bring.

So that’s the whole scoop. No diss to Vanessa. No firing of his staff. And no Common diss. Do you think he’s being the better man or he’s punking out of a battle he knows he won’t win? Sound off!
