In the same week that Drake and Future released their joint collaboration What A Time to be Alive, Drake has returned to the world of media in the form of a new interview with the Fader, where he discussed his forthcoming album, his recent Meek Mill beef, and ghostwriting allegations, among other topics.
The interview took place in Toronto, and found Drake opening up about his strengthened relationship with fans, his relationship with Skepta, and more.
Regarding his recent spat with Meek Mill:
“This is a discussion about music, and no one’s putting forth any music?… Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to engage in this and not have something?…It was weighing heavy on me. I didn’t get it. I didn’t get how there was no strategy on the opposite end. I just didn’t understand. I didn’t understand it because that’s just not how we operate.”
On mentoring other musicians:
“It’s just channeling my mom. Like, I’d bring home an essay that I did really well on, and my mom would read it through and give me notes back—on the essay that I just scored like 94 on! So sometimes I just do that. I’ll hear people’s stuff and… I’ll just give my interpretation of how I would have done it…It’s just, literally, I’ve recognized the potential and the greatness in this piece, and I want to take my stab at it too.”
He also goes on to talk about vulnerability and his place in the world of music:
“Not being vulnerable is never gonna be my thing. I’m always going to share with you what’s going on in my life… I think I realize that I’m gonna have to be OK with not having that many friends that are peers.”
