Drake Speaks on Chris Brown
Drake recently did a photoshoot and interview with GQ. He speaks on Chris Brown and their feud below…
“I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t. I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen. I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down. It’s embarrassing, the amount of media coverage. Two rappers fighting over the woman.

"More love and intimacy than, well, f*cking." Miguel for Paper Magazine
“In person, he’s all charm — rejecting my handshake for a double kiss (“Pleasure,” he says to each cheek, “pleasure.”), offering a convincing apology for being 20 minutes late and giving me one of his Cartier bracelets to wear for the duration of our interview as a kind of friendship bracelet. It’s this charisma that helps him pull off the raunchier singles on Kaleidoscope Dream. In “How Many Drinks?” he’s the alpha male, wondering how much cash and booze will equal sexual conquest. “Frustration / Watching you dance,” he sings on the first verse. “Invitation / To get in them pants.” “Pussy is Mine” — a stripped-down, smoldering meditation on jealousy — is essentially an exercise in sexual egotism, but in the hands of Miguel it feels more like a love ballad. And then there’s the nicer guy who comes out on songs like his smash hit “Adorn,” which spent more than 20 weeks atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, and is more about love and intimacy than, well, fucking.”
