Drake Upset With Philip Seymour Hoffman Rolling Stone Magazine Cover Replacement After Macklemore Dig During Interview: Rihanna’s Ex Tweets About Kanye West Comment

Tags

Drake has expressed displeasure with Rolling Stone for more reasons than one.

According to radio.com, the "Started from the Bottom" rapper tweeted earlier this morning about how the magazine pulled his cover and replaced it with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The rapper tweeted, "They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue."

Drake has instead been placed in the top left corner of the magazine cover with the title, "At Home with Hip-Hop's Lonely Prince."

That wasn't enough for Drake as he made a second tweet saying, "I'm disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil."

The 27-year-old rapper also had problems with the Rolling Stone's print of his comment towards Kanye West's latest album, "Yeezus."

According to Rolling Stone, he had stated, "There were some real questionable bars on there. Like that, 'Swaghilli,' line? Come on, man. Even Fabolous wouldn't say some s*** like that."

The "Worst Behavior" rapper responded by tweeting, "I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately."

Drake hasn't responded to his opinions on Macklemore and the "Thrift Shop" rapper's apology texts to Kendrick Lamar, raising suspicion that those comments may be true.

During the interview with Rolling Stone, Drake had commented on Macklemore's texts, which were made public by Macklemore himself, by saying, "that shit was wack as f***."

He continued, "I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better - make better music. It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?"

The rapper also states in the interview that Grammy wins don't always go to the artist who made the "best" album.

Drake explains, "This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your shit."

He ends the Macklemore problem with, "To name just Kendrink? That s*** made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages."

The new issue of Rolling Stone will be on stands on Friday, February 14.
