Yeah bet hating for real! Gave the most to the enemy! Using Drake as a pawn to deter the attention from what karate tran said about blu! Of course they put Drake up there because him and HOV had words! But who cares really because HOV got plenty of those! I love chess but they playing checkers. They act like it’s such a big deal when really it isn’t! Drake got a couple sohh what, HOV got the globe and what! – BROOKLYN
It’s crazy to see JayZ being relevant all this time…. LOL
