Drake reveals what's behind his fairy Kanye West

It's been months since they argue in the eyes of the public, but on Friday, Drake explained to fans why the problems occurred between him and his old friend Kanye West.

During a frank conversation on the show LeBron James' HBO The shop, the 31-year-old Canadian rapper detailed the betrayal he felt when West abandoned his album, you, weeks before Drake's own album, Scorpio.

Before the release, Drake said West and West had been connected in the studio. There, West would have pressured Drake to reveal details about Scorpio, convincing him that he had good intentions and never revealing that he was working on an album to him.

"He sold me for all that talk:" I'm in a fantastic place, I make money and I'm a father. I want to be Quincy Jones and help you. But to do that, you have to be transparent with me, you have to play your music, and you have to tell me when you lose. And I know you do not like doing things like that, "recalls Drake. The shop. "I guess we all felt a real atmosphere, so I played my music and told him when I was falling."

It was not fair Drake playing music. West would also have played Drake's "Lift Yourself" beats, a song that he would pick up later. But West apparently never revealed that, promising instead the song at Degrassi: the next generation old students. "He played me 'Lift up' and he said 'Yo, you can have that if you want'. I started writing, "said Drake. "And then he was like, 'Yo, you have to come to Wyoming."

Wyoming, as fans may remember, is where West worked you. But Drake had no idea of ​​that when Noah producer "40" Shebib arrived at Jackson Hole earlier than planned.

"He was like, man, I'm here a day ago, man. Something is wrong, "recalls Drake. The shop. "It's like," This guy is working on an album. "And I was like," For real? He just told me he wanted to work, as he just told me he wanted to give me some beats. And he said he would not let himself go until October, November, something like that. And I said to myself: "All is well, let's go, see what it is."

It turned out that everything revolved around the West, according to Drake. "I went there and spent most of my time working on her music, just trying to brainstorm her ideas," Drake said. "I'm just trying to lend a hand. … I spent all my time working on his music. We left with "Lift Yourself" and a pat on the back. "

Drake also had time to explore his own music. During his stay in Wyoming, Drake claimed to have performed in West his song "March 14", which dealt with his relationship with the mother of his 11-month-old son Adonis. The two men even had a discussion about their personal lives, Drake showing the father of three a photo of his own son, which was then a secret. "I tell him I have problems with my son's mother. We had a conversation, "said Drake on The shop.

A few days later, the news of Drake's son appeared. Then came the news from West's album and Pusha T (produced by West) – their release dates getting strangely close to the expected Drake fall. Scorpio. Then, West dropped "Lift Yourself" himself.

That's when Drake said he realized, "Oh, this guy is dragging me. It was like a manipulator like, "I want to break you." In response, Drake moved away. "I said," All right, I'm going to start keeping my distance. I know what it is. & # 39; "

Drake said he was sitting and watching the moment when Pusha T had released his album containing the song "Infrared", in which the rapper had called Drake for allegedly using a ghostwriter. "Did you produce a diss song that talks about writing?" Says Drake. "I was right there with your friends helping you, and now you're disbanding me? So, I'm like, "Man, it's dark."

Fans know what happened from there. A war of words ensued, with Drake and Pusha T trading insults on social media and dissenting tracks – the most scathing was "The Story of Adidon" from Pusha. , his mother (by name), and a set of lyrics that expose the fact that Drake had a child with Sophie Brussaux, former star of the adult film (Drake will check the rumors later) Scorpio).

It was all right, says Drake on The shop, but he said that Pusha crossed a line by exposing Shebib's fight against multiple sclerosis.

"People love to say, like the purists of rap and those who love confrontation, they love to say," Yes, there are no rules in this area. "But there are many rules in this area-" Drake explained. "And I'm going to tell you something: it's like, I knew something was going to happen about my child. They had to add the breakeven to make it more attractive, which is good. I understand that. Even that, I was like, okay. Mom and dad's thing, whatever. You do not even know my family. But I tell you, wishing the death of my friend with multiple sclerosis?

Drake said it was so serious that he decided to withdraw completely from the battle.

"I study rap battles to make a living," Drake said. "Now, when you talk about defenseless people who are sick in the hospital, it died, that's really what sent me to a place where I was convinced – and I believe now – that there was had a price to pay for it. It's over. You're going to have … someone's going to punch you in the face. It's over, the event is over. I wanted to do something else. I did not want to improve your reputation or your career by remembering and exchanging. And that was all for me.

Duck fact to record an answer, he says. He was locked and loaded, but he never published it. "I went home and I listened to it, and I was like, man, it's not something I want me to remember," said Drake to The shop. "It's not even a place where I necessarily want to go. And to all those who like it, I take my hat off to you.

Looking back, Drake is happy to be gone. "I feel pure, I feel good. I took this energy and I put it in myself, not you. You do not get that from me.

Despite everything, Drake showed Pusha T a little respect for "The Story of Adidon" – calling him "a hell of a failure".

"The song, I thought it was a trash. But the game of chess was great, "said Drake. "Against the wall. Either I go to the end, or I fall back and have that kind of flaw in my armor for the rest of the time, to a rap purist. Which is good, I can live with that. I would much rather live with that rather than with the things that I was going to … the research that I did, the things that I was going to say, and the places that I was going to see. would go. Not only for him, but for the other guy too.

"I understand where the confusion started," West wrote. "Let me start by excusing for the fact that your release date has been crossed. … We were building relationships and working together on music. We talked about doing "lift up" together. I should have given you the opportunity to do it together before I publish it. Since we were friends and brothers, I should have talked to Pusha from Quentin Miller's Bar. There should be no songs involving my energy that had negative energy on you. "
