Drake Talks Common Beef, Apologizes To Vanessa Bryant
by Karen
For weeks, one of the more intriguing questions in Hip-Hop has been whether or not Drake would respond to Common’s “Stay Schemin'” freestyle/remix where he openly took shots at him after weeks of subliminal shots. Well, we’ve finally got our answer – a definitive “no.” Drizzy sat down with Nah Right’s nation to speak about the beef and how, more than anything, he was disappointed Com even took the situation to the lengths he did. He also shed light on the line that has taken on a life of its own, the one directed towards Vanessa Bryant (soon to be ex-wife of Lakers star, Kobe Bryant).
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.
Head over to NahRight to read the remaining portion of the brief interview where Drake reveals what the future of OVO/XO and kills all rumors of him firing his entire staff following the release of Take Care.

i agree with drake i found it real funny he brought up a performance that was old as hell (mtv with mary j) to decide he dont like drake. everybody already knownits over pussy (serena) he mustve felt somekinda way about serena playing with drake “tennis balls” lmao smh grow up and get some “commom sense” common
lmfaoooo @aaron funny but seems so true!
i been said it was a publicity stunt all before he never had nothing bad to say bout drake but as soon as his album drops its a problem?? huh? nah that aint hip hop if it was im more than sure drake wouldve went at him by now . dude is talented idgaf if he sing or not! niggas is threatin by drake for that simple fact cause the cant box him in one category. smh
he is a victim…stop witht he subliminals if you gonna just find an excuse and cop out…smh…he b*tch boy and too damn sensitive
Love him…
Not buying it…
Common never thought about sales so why now??? The dude had a #1 best seller book, in a box office movie & the most sought after Sundance film out all at once, as well as doing shows for the President. If he wanted to get publicity, I would think he would go for Wayne… somebody who sold 1 million copies in a week. That would have been more note worthy than going after Drake. I like Drake but he was too sensitive & honestly no one paid attention to the negative part of “Sweet” until Drake squealed…
I like both & I am glad it’s done… cause somebody was about to REALLY get embarrassed & it wasn’t Common.
@Crush exactly, Common is a legend. He just see these sweet booty boys poisoning the youth with their gay agenda. And for the record obviously Drake know he sweet cuz he acknowledged it before Common uttered his name. But whatever, Common said what everybody all ready knew..
