Many of us have been wondering for weeks now whether or not Drake would respond to Common's "Stay Schemin" diss track where he openly takes shots at Drizzy. It looks like we finally have an answer, and it's a definitive "no".
The Young Money rapper says he's disappointed the situation has gone this far. He also apologized for one of his lines directed towards Kobe Bryant's soon to be ex-wife Vanessa.
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.
