Rapper Drake and popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God have been in a back-and-forth over the last several days since the rapper’s new single, “Slime You Out” with SZA was released a couple of weeks ago. Charlamagne however says that the ‘beef’ was all manufactured.

It started when ‘The Breakfast Club’ host expressed that he wished Drake would put on something “harder” to promote an album with a title like “For All The Dogs”. Drake didn’t seem too happy, taking to Instagram with a series of stories bashing the radio show host.

Drake went as low as calling Chalamagne an “off-brand Morris Chestnut.”

Charlamagne went back on his show to respond to Drake’s reaction and said that this happens every time. “You not gonna believe me because I’m lying,” he said.

He added “Drake and I plan this out every time he drops an album. I’m part of the album rollout. He drops a record. I critique it. That brings more attention to the record, and more attention to the project. I keep telling Drake he doesn’t need me to do that. He’s Drake. But for whatever reason, he wants me to do it, so I oblige.”
