Drake Responds To Kanye Jab [WATCH]

During one of his notorious rants at the “Saint Pablo Tour,” Kanye West took a shot a Drake by saying, “Khaled and Drake and radio and Doc [Wynter] and [Real] 92.3 and everybody. Is it just me or did you hear that song so many times ‘you say you wanna play for free.’ Aye, aye. You know what it is, though? Because aye, I love Drake. I love Khaled. But they set that song up, bro.”

Drizzy responded to the comments during his acceptance speech at the American Music Awards for Best Rap/Hip-Hop Artist.

The 6 God also commented on DJ Khaled’s Instagram post where Khaled congrtulated him. Check it out below.

A few weeks ago a rumor was confirmed that Drake and Kanye West were working on a joint mixtape. That mixtape seems to be on hold for now with Kanye’s ongoing issues and recent rant, which Drizzy took some offense to.
