I’ve heard a few things from Nicki and it’s horrible and she does remind me of Baby Stace. LOL! She reminds me of how Trina came in the game with no talent but because she’s sexual, has a pretty face and claims to be bisexual guys love her. Remember the verse in “Nann” when Trina said something like “I’ll let another b!tch straight lick the ****” but later said she wasn’t bisexual that’s the same mess Nicki pulled. She’s imitating Lil Kim’s squat pose with a sucker in her mouth. I’m not buying her at all. She’s going to need more people.

Complex: At the BET Awards this past Sunday, everyone was shocked to see you sitting on a stool. Did you ever think to yourself, Maybe I shouldn’t perform?

Drake: That, actually—to be honest—was a terrible idea that I’ll never do to myself again. [Laughs] But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don’t think it called for us to perform “Every Girl” and “Always Strapped,” and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne’s daughters and her friends coming out on stage…

Complex: Yeah, it really was an awkward moment.

Drake: Yeah, it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is. I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody.

Complex: Watching it at home, the BET Awards seemed to be a mess. Did it seem that way in person?

Drake: Well, I can only speak for my portion of it. I had asked for something very specific for my performance and none of those were met, as far as production value, so…

Complex: That’s BET for you…

Drake: I understood my situation, as far as sitting in one place, and figured there was a way to make it interesting. But when I looked around and noticed that none of that was going on [laughs], I kind of just realized that it was going to be a loss for me. But at the end of the day, it is what it is.

What I care about is a good concept and follow through for a video. A video is supposed to compliment the song - we’ve all heard of situations where the VIDEO actually helped you like the song MORE. This video did the EXACT OPPOSITE.

And so what if the video is T&A? There have been PLENTY of T&A videos that were still GOOD VIDEOS: “Rump Shaker” (probably the first), “Cherchez La Ghost,” or “Big Pimpin’.”

People are just disappointed because this video is NOT good. And while we know it wasn’t his fault - Drake not being able to perform to the best of his ability at the BET Awards (due to a torn ACL I believe) hasn’t made this the best week for him….
