Drake thrashes Rolling Stone mag for replacing him on the cover with PSH

Drake a few days ago thrashed Rolling Stone magazine for replacing him on its cover with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman who recently passed away from a drug overdose. The mag was supposed to use Drake for its cover but Philip passed away and they changed the cover the last minute.

As soon as the issue hit the stands, a disappointed Drake lashed out on Twitter. He also denied calling Bars on Kanye's album Yeezus 'questionable'. See his tweets after the cut...



 

After his rants, he deleted his tweets and apologized for his outburst. See his statement below...
I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication."
"My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazine’s behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment."

Advice to all: Never express yourself on social media when angry no matter how tempting it is!

That's pride speaking in him, must he be used on the cover of the magazine? He also already famous, he don't need a magazine cover to do that for him

He shld jst shut up cos dat one nah Medicine after death

Unknown said...

I was going to blast this guy before I read his apology. I mean, you cannot fight with a dead man now. But the magazine sef, if they promised cover, that's what they should deliver so I understand him in a way sha. They could just have delayed his interview till another issue so he would still have his cover.

Linda I'm not begging you to post my comment. All I ask is for you to correct your Gaddamn mistake. It's not "thrashes", it's "trashes". Flip ! I know you're not uneducated, so please don't make me doubt that assumption.

Unknown said...

I'm with Drizzy on this. They shoulda notified him before replacing him with Seymour.

Abeg he has a right to vent! You don't do things like that and not inform a person! Why then did you put him through all the photo sessions? Abeg bone that thing!!

Igor said...

Sorry Drake,Seymour's death was a trending news.Something similar happened the day Michael Jackson died.While E Channel was broadcasting the death of an elderly actress,news came in that MJ died. The station immidiately switched over to MJ's story.A journalist even joked that the elderly actress chose a wrong day to die.Drake,take heart, shit happens.

Anon5:45 Drake's first comments were right but the magazine twisted it around to make Drake look like d bad guy.Na Drake kill PSH? or na im cause im death?

Anonymous said...

BEST comment @Hilary Obiorah. He has every damn right to be angry, he ought to hv been inform but I see him as a soft hearted person for apologising. *love you more, DRAKE!
