iLoveMakonnen Gives An Update On His Relationship With Drake

When singer iLoveMakonnen’s song “Tuesday” started gaining traction in 2014, Drake saw an opportunity, and not only hopped on the official remix, but signed Makonnen to his OVO Sound imprint as well. Since then, however, we haven’t seen or heard much about their relationship, and Makonnen‘s buzz has simmered down rather substantially as well. Unsurprisingly, this led to rumors ranging from beef between the guys and even contracts being terminated, but in a new interview with FADER, Makonnen provided an update on it all.

“It’s cool,” he said of his status at OVO. “They put out my music and stuff and we just keep it moving. Let them tell you their relationship with Makonnen. I’m just an artist, being an artist, and there’s only so much that I can do.”

When asked whether he speaks to Drake:

“Here and there. By the time this comes out, I’ll probably see him six more times or no more times. I don’t know. I just wish everybody well in all that they do and I just go on and live my life and try to uplift motherfuckers. At the end of the day I’m tired of uplifting people. I just gotta uplift myself now because everything else is a waste of time.”

There was definitely something a bit off about that reply, but the following quote about Future and Young Thug was very telling:

“I wish I could be like them and put out a bunch of mixtapes. I wish I could. [But] I have relationships to keep and I can’t make people mad and that’s not how certain people operate. I’m just being a respectable employee right now.”

So OVO is holding him back right now? Hmm! I’m curious to see where this goes in the future. In the meantime, read the full article here.
