usic fans may recall that back in January, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis cleaned up at the Grammy Awards, taking best rap song, best rap performance and best rap album in the process. It seems that Drake was one of the many people who weren’t happy with this!
Macklemore, after picking up the wins, text Kendrick Lamar telling him he was robbed and he should have won best rap album instead, but in an interview with Rolling Stone it was clear Drake was upset about the whole affair, saying he felt robbed too.
The spat was kicked up a notch when Drake hosted the ESPY Awards last Wednesday, and took the opportunity to publicly diss Macklemore in an original song called “Honorable Mentions/Side Pieces.”
On the ESPY stage, the rapper had Macklemore’s joyous Grammy moment up on the big screen as he sang: “Real talent doesn’t always win championships, like real music doesn’t always win Grammys.”
Now we’re no experts on mediation here, but it seems the only way to resolve this in our opinion is for the pair to have a massive rap battle, like the kind seen in the movie 8 Mile. Who would win?? Your guess is as good as ours!
