Drake explains in a story post that the song was not supposed to be played in the first place. He also explains that it is a song that was leaked 3 years ago and was “scrapped”shortly after that. He expresses that he would not want to wake up to his friends feeling disrespected so he wanted to start the day by clearing the air.
Drake and Chris Brown were allegedly involved in a physical altercation in June 2012 when Drake and his entourage threw glass bottles at Brown in a SoHo nightclub in Manhattan, New York City. Chris Brown tweeted about the incident and released a song criticizing Drake weeks later. Despite no response from Drake, he and Brown both appeared in a comedic skit for the 2014 ESPY Awards, and rehearsed the skit together prior to the televised airing, virtually ending the dispute.
In December 2014, Drake was involved in another altercation, being punched by Diddy outside the LIV nightclub in Miami, Florida. The altercation was reported to be over Drake’s usage of the instrumental for “0 to 100 / The Catch Up”, allegedly produced by Boi-1da for Diddy, before Drake appropriated the track for his own use. Drake was later rushed to the ER after aggravating an old arm injury during the dispute. Drake was also involved in a feud with Tyga, stemming from Tyga’s negative comments about him during an interview with Vibe magazine. Drake would later respond on “6 God” and “6PM in New York”, which has been interpreted as directly involved in Tyga’s abrupt removal from Young Money Entertainment.
Drake has had a number of feuds with artists and celebrities but the difference this time is that he actually apologized for it and seemed remorseful without even having to be asked.
“Last night, a few #Drake tracks were played on IG Live. During this time, an old song with lyrics, “#KylieJenner as a side piece” was played but shouldn’t have been. The rapper took to his IG story to apologize and provide clarity about the situation. (SWIPE)”
