Did anything weird happen?
I was chased by a fox.
What happened?
Being in their habitat, invading their habitat.
Did it get close?
I ran. But it kept coming towards me.
Were you scared?
For sure. I'm not an outdoors person.
I have to ask about Drake. But I wanted to go back to the summer of 2015, when Drake and Meek Mill were trading barbs. What were you thinking at that time?
I just realized that the age of social media weighed less on truth and more on entertainment. And I felt like it was just a little different. Because I was just like, "Man, if some of the revelations that came out then had happened a while ago, in the rap game people would be like, 'What!? No way!'"
Well, on the cover of "The Story of Adidon," you have a picture of Drake with blackface. What did you think the context of that picture was? Where did it come from?
See, I don't know. I just know that me being a black man, that's something I'm totally against.
It makes you uncomfortable.
Right.
In any context.
I'm just like, "How could you be that comfortable, ever?" Just for me, there's no way that's ever comfortable.
So the
explanation he gave, that it was to raise awareness for black actors struggling to get roles—
That's not an explanation that I would accept.
J Prince said that Drake has a response track that would ruin careers, but that J Prince stopped Drake from releasing it. What was your reaction to that?
You know, I don't know. I just feel like if there was something that was beneficial for either of those two guys, they would do it. I think they're into doing anything that's beneficial for them.
Do you think it's a bluff, or that they're scared?
I don't want to call them scared. I just want to say that they're thinking. They're doing what's best for them.
It seems like you've been enjoying the battle. Are you? Is it fun?
Yeah. I felt like the whole idea of a battle—I don't know what was gained or what was lost.
How is rap battling in the social media era different?
It's different because there's a lot of sympathy and compassion and things like that I didn't know existed. That's why it's not even fun to me anymore.
You can't say as much.
Bro, it's weird. It's so weird. There's a sentimental aspect that I didn't know existed. But new rules. I'm learning and discovering a whole bunch of new rules in the rap game. And I'll just leave it at that.
