Drake has apologised for comments made on an earlier Future collaboration track that was leaked unintentionally on Wednesday (May 20).
On the song, Future – real name Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn – calls out Kylie Jenner as a “side piece”.
“A song that Mark ran last night on Night Owl sound live set shouldn't have been played,” Drake wrote on his Instagram Stories on Thursday (May 21).
“It's a song that leaked three years ago and got scrapped shortly after,” he continued. “He was just going too deep in the drake/future catalogue. Last thing I'd want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected so I just had to stay that to start off the day.”
“Yeah, I'm a hater to society / Real s***, Kylie Jenner, that's a side piece / Yeah, I got 20 motherf*****s' Kylies,” Future raps in the leaked song.
Drake later mentions Kylie's older sister Kendall Jenner, rapping, “Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls / Young slim baddies and they in Vogue / Yeah, I got 20 f***ing Gigis.”
In March, Drake angered fans after calling Sophie Brussaux, the mother of his two-year-old son Adonis, a “fluke”.
On his song "Say When", the rapper says: “Baby mama fluke, but I love her for who she is.”
Fans subsequently expressed their discomfort over the seemingly dismissive lyric on Twitter: “Drake is rude as hell … [she] has never said anything bad about you…and she’s a fluke?! He needs to be slapped!” wrote one user.
