During an appearance on FUTUREMOODS’s premiere episode ofMoody Conversationswith Lil Yachty last week, theCertified Lover Boyrapper opened up about naming his exes in his songs.
“‘Maybe I coulda done without, like, s—ting on people for age or disrupting somebody’s life,'” Drake, 36, said of rapping about his exes.
“The lyrics are never with ill intent, but I had somebody tell me one time, ‘You know, it’s not necessarily what you’re saying about me, it’s the fact that you said it,'” the “Knife Talk” rapper added.
He then went on to reflect on a conversation he had with an ex about it.
“So I’ve tried my best to stop doing that,” Drake concluded. “But I like to be honest in music too so that one’s a push and pull.”
