Young Money Records owner Lil Wayne put the smack down on his employee, Drake, during a cover interview for VIBE magazine’s October/November issue, due out in October.
When VIBE asked the platinum rapper if he felt intimidated by Drake’s meteoric success, Weezy’ revealed his own insecurity:
VIBE: You mentioned how humbled you were at the success of “She Will.” Drake, who wrote and performs the song’s chorus, has now become a platinum star in his own right. Do you look at the guy and say, “Wow, I helped create a monster, I have to stay on my toes”?
LIL WAYNE: I don’t look at it like that. Drake is my artist. If he wasn’t my artist, then yeah maybe. But that’s my artist. He’s not [just] a friend. We’re more than friends. It’s business. It would be impossible for it to be a competition. I mean, I’m the guy’s boss.
