According to necolebitchie.com:

Today, Drizzy Drake stopped by East Village Radio to kick it with Rap Radar’s Elliott Wilson and he sure did say a mouthful.  In between dropping the good news that he will be releasing two new records soon and he’s been working on his new album, he also dished on how Rick Ross’ recent controversy was a wake up call for all rappers. He also revealed why he doesn’t accept many endorsement deals and somewhat cleared up rumors that there may be beef between he and The Weeknd. (The word is that they fell out after The Weeknd decided to sign with Universal Republic instead of Drake.)

Things got really interesting, later in the interview, when Chris Brown’s name was brought up and Drake basically confirmed that their beef started over Rihanna. He said that Chris is insecure for a number of reasons, including that Drake makes better music and has had his girl.

I would like to point out that many times in the interview, Drake reiterated that he doesn’t like to do radio interviews because of things like artists being misquoted, people taking things out of context, and the media thriving off of pitting artists against each other, so in an effort to not highlight one particular quote that’s getting a lot of attention from this interview, we’ve included his quotes in full context.

Catch the highlights below:

On why he doesn’t do a lot of media:

Media, it’s just all entrapment. I’m not in the entrapment game. I came up here today because we actually have rapport, we’re friends, and you’ve always shown me respect but everything else is entrapment. People just go up to radio, start talking too much and make mistakes.

On Chris Brown

For any media outlet that listens to this interview, don’t ask me sh-t about that man when I come up there. Leave that man alone and stop preying on his insecurities man. His insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I’m more popping than him, and that at one point in life ,the woman that he loves fell into my lap and I did what a real n-gga would do and treated her with respect. So she’s not out there talking down on me. All of those things combined creates a n-gga that comes up to your radio station and is just gonna do dumb sh-t. But it shouldn’t be about tearing that man down, it shouldn’t be about wanting to see me and him tear each other down. We have an issue and it’s either gonna drag out, or maybe in ten years we’ll laugh about it over drinks, but let us solve that sh-t. It’s not me and Kendrick [Lamar], it’s not me and Hov, you’re not gonna get anything out of it. I don’t wanna hear that man rap, you know what I’m saying? Nobody wants to hear me rap against him, you’re not even going to get anything out of it. I just urge media to leave that sh-t alone.

What do people wanna see from it? You don’t wanna see two black men tearing each other down. I understand when it’s entertaining, when you feel that you might get some music out of it, but at the end of the day, nothing good can come of that situation, just leave that sh-t alone. That’s part of the reason why I don’t go up to radio. Sit up there and talk, talk, talk, I don’t wanna talk. People talk themselves into a mess. Playing my beat when he comes up there and try to get him to rap, c’mon man! That sh-t is like terrible.

I feel for him too. Every interview he does, they talk about me. It is what it is. I’m focused on this album and everything else that’s going on. I’m not thinking about that man…or that girl.
