Lord Flacko weighs in on Drizzy & Meek’s beef
Yesterday at Lollapalooza’s Samsung Galaxy Artist Lounge, MTV News caught up with A$AP Rocky to weigh in on the Drake vs. Meek Mill on-going battle. Flacko soon touched on the public dictating who won the battle on how everything was handled from both sides. He even cited the current rift between his hip-hop peers was like watching the Super Bowl with two elite artists having an on-wax battle.
With the majority of the public leaning towards Drizzy (because he’s only responded through music), Rocky still felt Meek will be able to survive after this battle is completed. Take a look at his full stance on the situation and whether or not the alleged ghostwriting allegations have changed his perception on artists.
“If you ask me if that matters, or if the public cares, that’s two different questions. I think that it doesn’t matter at this point for the public — they seem like they don’t care. I don’t know. To me it matters. Watching this was like watching the Super Bowl. I wanna say thank you to Drake and Meek Mill, because that’s good sportsmanship. For real, that sh-t was fun. I needed that. To see that, that’s good sportsmanship.”
“I think Meek will be fine, I think he has a fanbase of his own, and I think that at the end of the day, there had to be a loser in the outcome, and it was Meek. So it is what it is.”
“If somebody helped Drake, I dunno, that might be considered cheating, but whoever wrote that — not saying Drake ain’t write it, I’m quite sure he did — that sh-t was insane. That sh-t was incredible, and I wanna thank Drake and Meek Mill for such a good battle. I come from an old school aesthetic — me being 26 — coming from the point of, when I was coming up, it was all about writing your rhymes, and I’m quite sure for R&B songs, if someone’s giving you [lyrics], that’s nothing. I don’t know. I would have to see. I don’t know what to believe.”
“Regardless of if Drake write his sh-t or not, I’m still a fan.”
