With today being the 5th anniversary of So Far Gone I figured it's fitting to return to it's place of its origin in order to clear the air about an extremely emotional day. I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed. The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazines behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated. I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment. I am still the same person. Today I was forced out of my character and felt the need to react swiftly. These days are the worst ones. Waking up after a great night in the studio and it's your day to be picked apart. After dwelling on it for a few hours or days you will come to the conclusion that you brought it on yourself almost every time. So here I am having that moment. I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way. I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow.
Sincerely,
The Boy

Why are men such pussy's nowadays? Where the real men at?
It was just an unfortunate clash of artistic publication. You are at a great time in your career, and are passionate about any form of art or creative publication about you. You are your own person, (and happen to be one of the best lyricists of all time). You are an innovator, and a damn good one. I remember when I first heard your music. The first couple of songs that I heard were "I'm Still Fly", and "Successful". I was so impressed! You were advanced to say the least. You keep melody, top notch lyrics, and diversity in all of your craft and that is why you are such an inspiring and attractive artist. Philip's passing is sad. He was a very unique actor. You are a very inspiring person Drake! You are a great artist, and an even greater man.
P.S. I love to burn one and relax and enjoy Nothing Was The Same!
They see you as a black man who has too much power. If they don't have anything to talk about, they'll make it up. The media has the power to destroy your career. You worked too hard to let them take it away from you. Sometime it's better to say nothing to the media. You have other means to get your point across. Keep your head up. They want you to get mad and over react this way they win. A lot of them are waiting to see you fall. A King always speaks when he has something important to say.
It takes a real man to admit that he was wrong. Good for you. Apology accepted.
I am very proud of you Drake! You stepped up! Take this time to reflect. You will have your time to shine! Just like you recently did in CHI TOWN!!! Believe me,I will be there when that time comes! I love you! Besos y Abrazos
Well said Kid.
Typical Drake behavior reacting to his own selfish needs and not really thinking through what someone else is dealing with. He really is living up to the only child stereotype. I hope this helps him not jump to conclusions and assume everything is all about him. You live in a world full of people with massive problems. Grow the Fuck up!
Hi.I'm new in blogspot.I 'll be so glad if you visit my blog.

The problem is not that people took your comment the wrong way, it's that they understood exactly what you meant. Specifically, that you are exceedingly narcissistic.
To everyone applauding him for taking responsibility, he did no such thing. "I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context" ..."I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way"...there's no owning up to what he said at all, just claims that they were "out of context" or people "took his comments the wrong way." Taking responsibility would mean admitting that what you said was ridiculous, not that people misinterpreted you.
Everyone makes mistakes. Only fools don't because they're too foolish to know they've made one <3. Express yourself in song, I miss the old Drake, boy I'm tempting you haha ;) -jg
Youre an inspiration man and are set to go down as a legend... your combination of incredible music and respect for others away from the music is amazing and the love you show everyone is fantstic keep going man nothing can stop you
And forever you will remain bitch made.

Excerpt from RS interview about Rihanna.
Rihanna and Drake were romantically involved years ago, but Drake says they're not anymore: "She's the ultimate fantasy. I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man, that would be good.' We have fun together, she's cool and shit. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life." He says he doesn't have a girlfriend. "I'm not after pussy like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me," he says. "But I haven't met somebody that makes everybody else not matter.
===============================
It's interesting that he's playing it 'cool' about Rihanna, but just how many fucking songs has he allegedly written about the woman? I've heard him multiple times throw shade at her, because I'm assuming the relationship wasn't where he wanted it to be. Meanwhile, have y'all ever heard Rihanna talk about Drake in any capacity other than politely bigging up his music. She never has publicly spoken about their supposed relationship history, whereas he can't seem to shut up about her. Proving to me Rihanna is more of a man than Drake. Because even with regards to this RS cover debacle, I bet Rihanna would not have said a word about being replaced. She would have just kept it cute. Drake is not only immature, but he has clearly overstated his celebrity status.
you're so fuckin selfish.
ps im not a robot. I'm human.

Don't let these muthafuckers tear u apart because they are usually the ones that haven't accomplished any thing in their life. And to make em feel better they attack you. Listen to aventura the song called aventura from love and hate album. Don't trip we all got your back you can't do no wrong
I know your heart was in it. But at the end of the day all that matters is Aubrey, it cant break you. Im still here for you
Signedx__ Mrs Sunseri Graham
This apology I think was not necessary for most but maybe for the Hoffman family ...but from me your fan, much appreciated and just adds another layer of genuineness for me and speaks volumes of the kind of man you are ...coming into even greater greatness ... thank you.
You havent been on here for a min. congrats on so far gone. still as dope as it was 5 years ago. Thank you for giving us such amazing music for our lives. everyone has their moments. were so proud of you
I think you're an amazing artist and an amazing human being ...im 45 yrs old I dig your music and I'm especially proud of the way you present yourself as a man ...no not perfect but no one is ...but you have enough character and integrity to do what you feel is right for your career and so far you have been blessed with the ability to make some great choices. Even though taking a stand on the incident with Rolling Stone mas was right for your career it was also right to clear the air for why you chose to stand in the manner you did. P.s. I follow you on twitter I get your tweets at all types of ungodly hours ...GO TO SLEEP ...You are adored

Yeah, definitely suspect. Generations from now they'll probably sell an issue with your pics and story. Unless you own it a decade from now or so?
Well, I might as well share you this tips on how to avoid office conflicts: http://www.21stcenturynews.com.au/7-ways-avoid-conflict-workplace/
Dear Aubrey Graham, AKA Drake, AKA Drizzy, Aka Toronto's finest. There is no chance you will see this, I have searched every inch of the internet trying to find a way to get in contact with you. Hundreds of thousands of people relate to your music, but I feel I do more than ever. I have had a similar come up in the fraternity scene in college, (while this is not the same it is similar) I have a girl I tripped and fell for (I never fall) she doesn't even love herself because of her ex. I need you now more than ever. One of my dreams is to talk to you one on one even if it were 5 minutes over email. I understand how busy your life is, I have been listening to your music since mixtape number 1. My doctor has diagnosed me with clinical depression, I no longer want to be in college. I want for reach out to you so bad, just to discuss relationship issues, I get it no new friends. Nothing more I just feel your music understand me whether or not it is real. Please, if you can hear my reach out I could use your guidance now more than ever. Your music no longer is enough to cope with these issues as much as it has helped me through my life rom 15-19.
Sincerely, Adam

Thanks man
Oooh.. this is the first time I've read something written by you in essay form. I wish there was more. And I hope this is a blog with earlier entries somewhere. I lovvvve being able to analyze your writing style/feeling like I kind of know you. Cute as hell. So Far Gone is always going to hold a special place in my heart. And don't even sweat the Rolling Stone thing. You don't have to apologize for a knee jerk reaction like that. It's clear that you were wronged and the public doesn't know the situation from all angles like you and your people do. I don't think anyone truly believes that it was your intent to be brutally insensitive, because why would you? Mwah.
i ruv that mean man ;)
DRAKE....It is what it is,shit happens, life goes on. You don't have to apologize for a few words out of frustration. Your only human.
Stupid Fucks aka Haters..WTf are you doin on his blog page if you don't even like the guy. FYI a hand full of haters ain't got shit on a millions of music lovers...on that note, please do go fuck youself!

what a fucking pussy
Im over a month late commenting on this. Aubrey, It takes courage to admitt when you may have been wrong about something. Some of these comments on here are rough, but be encouraged. Forget the "drizzy" part. You are a good Man with a great heart. Im still very proud of you. I pray for your strength everyday. Honestly. Whenever you need God in these times just call on Him. He loves you and thats all that matters. Love you so very much.
---Sonya from H-Town

You are good at what you do so keep doing it and tune out all the niggas turning up your tune.

I just stumbled upon this post when I googled "a tough day at the office" - as I was composing a post to share my own frustration at work. I am impressed by your delivery. Each word resonated with me and I admire your humility as a public figure to admit your wrong and express your vulnerability so publicly. On another note, while I'm here: I've been a fan of the artist for over ten years, but now more than ever, of the man himself. It has been a dream of mine that a black man in the music industry, put an emphasis on education versus money and you've done that seamlessly. Bravo on your work and this post. A toast to your success.
It was big of you to see your faults and to apologize and clear the air. I think it's honorable that you can see yourself through non rose colored glasses. Love seeing you still being humble and thankful.

An apology is the first step to rectifying a mistep or misjudgment. When we say things out of anger, frustration, or due to having a bad day, in that moment, we never think about how were affecting the person on tje receiving end. It takes a person with a sincere heart to apologize and say " for what its worth Im sorry" or "I messed up." When we take ownership of our wrongs it shows the level of maturity we possess. Of course, not every apology will be well received, but atleast when you make an effort to own your own shit sometimes it makes a difference.When a wise man sees the error of his ways I think thats called growth. There will be days when things wont go your way. There will be times when people wont understand your perspective or position and thats okay. Just try you to do right by others and treat them how you want to be treated. Keep your head up to the sky everything will pan out.
