The Meek Mill and Drake feud has gone on for too long. Although it seems everything that could possibly have been said about the two has been, Meek continued to attack Drake yesterday, reigniting a fizzling beef. However, rapper Wale weighed in on the inexorable beef, saying Drake's diss track wasn't all it was cracked up to be. He said, "Y'all don't realize, that was the most respectful diss record of all time," Wale says. "He didn't say eff you. He didn't say, 'You a b-word. You a n-word.' He ain't say really nothing. He just was using his success versus your success being real kinda funny. Let alone bloodshed, there was no fights, no nothing over this. When that happened, Meek ain't gonna be trippin like that because Meek literally hangs with people that me and them don't get along at all. It's just a part of the game."
On the 21st, he also stopped by The Breakfast Club to voice his opinion, and try to explain the context to listeners. According to XXL, Wale told the popular radio show, "I just feel like, and this is me speaking as someone who has been in the industry for a long time, I honestly feel like [Meek] brought a pencil to a gun fight...You can't compete with somebody who has those types of relationship. I'm telling everyone who thought Meek lost just off the strength of losing, it doesn't matter what he made, he could have made 'Ether 3.0,' the opinions of the people would have been that of the kid from Toronto waxed him."
The hour and a half interview covered a number of topics, including homosexuality in the Hip-Hop industry, artistry, and distractions, and his career. He also threw some shade at Drake over the "Hotline Bling," "Cha Cha" controversy, claiming that "Drake can get away with it though, he's linked up with Apple, man!"
However, speaking to Rap Radar's podcast, Wale defended Mill saying, "That dude ain't no loser." Wale mentioned Meek Mill's impressive sales and popularity among a wide range of fans as proof that he was no lightweight.
Wale also defended his Instagram post with Drake, saying he felt it was rude not to say "Hello."
