Steve Lacy has opened up about his apparent beef with Drake after being dissed by the 6 God last year.
Speaking to Rolling Stone, Lacy was asked about Drizzy aiming some shots at him.
He replied: “I thought it was so awesome. I love Drake. I grew up listening to Drake and shit, you know. I was like, ‘This is so beautiful.’ I didn’t know what it meant … And then Fousheé sent me a link and it was the video and I was like, ‘Whoa.’ I was so excited … I fucked with it. It was cool.”
In a Kick stream with xQc last November, Drake said of Lacy: “This guy’s like a fragile opp — it is a good song, though. Chat knows what I’m talking about. Fragility.”
At the time, Lacy reacted on social media by writing: “Who tryna be my…fragile opp [drooling face emoji].”
The Internet bandmember, who previously came out as bisexual, further trolled Drake by writing on his IG Stories: “happy pride month [heart emoji] I been proud” alongside a smiling selfie.
Drake’s diss does not come entirely out of the blue as Steve Lacy was one of many artists and L.A. natives who joined Kendrick Lamar on stage at his Pop Out show earlier this year and also worked with the Compton superstar on his 2017 album DAMN.
Drizzy also used his appearance on xQc’s livestream to send a pointed remark in the direction of Kendrick shortly after his rival dropped his latest album GNX.
The Toronto native introduced himself on the stream by saying: “I’m here — mind, body and soul fully intact, in case you were wondering. You need facts to take me out; fairytales won’t do it.”
Kid Cudi also recently explained his reaction to being dissed by Drake while he was in rehab for substance abuse.
Drake took aim at Cudi on 2016 track “Two Birds, One Stone” which mocked the “Pursuit of Happiness” rapper’s struggles with mental health, a move which was poorly received by fans.
Speaking to CBS Mornings, Cudi detailed his reaction to the song: “I was like, oh okay, you wanna kick me when I’m down. Great. But he wanted to play the game with me. He wanted me to put him in my song or whatever and I’m not that type of artist.”
