Hollywood actor Kevin Hart recently talked about the publicized feud between Young Money’s Drake and Maybach Music Group stud Meek Mill.
According to Hart, he coached Drake through the feud and told him to stick to music-making.
“He’s our generation’s rap superstar. Get back to being Drake the superstar, this can’t last that long and go back and forth. That’s where I come in as a friend… If you’re a real friend, that’s what you do. You don’t support the negative banter between the two for too long.” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Kevin said he shared similar words with Meek about avoiding feuds and focusing on music.
“Me and Meek talk and the biggest thing I tell Meek is, ‘Dude you’re close to reaching your music goals. Right now, this is an industry that doesn’t sell units. Musicians don’t sell units right now. So the fact that you are one of eight artists that can sell units, you don’t want to jeopardize that. Get back to that!'” (“The Breakfast Club”)
Last year, MMG head Rick Ross revealed his chat with Meek over the publicized feud.
“In every conversation [I had with Meek, it was], ‘You move when you want to move. You not forced to move nothing. Ain’t no time limits, ain’t no, get your money on tour, certain energies may flare up, let’s calm down homie. You out on bond. You got money to get. I’m out on bond. I got $8 million tied up.’ It’s certain things I want to see happening.” (Rap Radar)
Recently, Ross downplayed the dispute being comparable to the early 2000’s battle between rap stars Nas and Jay Z.
“We might be from two different eras or something. We lost B.I.G. in that era. We lost 2Pac in that era. So to say, Jay and Nas when you discussing Drake and Meek, I think is disrespectful. That was an entirely different type of energy. That’s what I believe, unless I’m seeing something… I must be just, fuckin’, I don’t know. But by the time I heard of the Meek and the Drake situation, um, you know they told me that Meek hadn’t dropped nothing real and Drake had let two records go. They told me, it was cool and I was like, that’s it. Moved on.” (XXL Mag)
