Katy Perry Calls Drake Soft, Praises Juicy J

    While praising fellow “Dark Horse” collaborator Juicy J, pop star Katy Perry went on to diss Canadian emcee/singer Drake in the process. Perry doted on Juicy J during a recent interview with Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club, calling the Three 6 Mafia a hard worker and a sweet person.

    As the songstress applauded Juicy J for his genial qualities, she informed those listening that she didn’t want to make it seem that the rapper was “softer than Drake.”

    Following Katy Perry’s Drake diss, she then expressed her admiration for the Young Money musician.

    “He’s such a sweet, genuine guy. [He’s] an amazing hard worker,” Katy Perry said when asked about Juicy J. “I’ve worked with a lot of people that I’ve done little pieces on songs and not that they’ve got ego, but Juicy’s the kindest. He’s like the most kindest, sympathetic, sweet—I don’t wanna make him out like to be softer than Drake…I love Drake. He’s like my secret diary.”

    The singer later expressed her surprise at the acceptance “Dark Horse” has received from non-pop audiences.

    “Yeah, I’m really surprised to both,” she said. “And I’m actually really surprised in general that I’m even still here. I’m like ‘What’s going on? You guys still believe me? Am I manipulating everyone?’ I mean, I don’t know. But honestly, we never really planned on ‘Dark Horse’ being a single and it just became a literal dark horse.”

    In a past interview, Juicy J spoke on his work with Katy Perry on “Dark Horse” and the singer’s request that he revise a few of his bars on the song.

    “I did my verse in the studio, and then [Dr. Luke] called me,” Juicy J said in an interview with Billboard in January. “[He] said, ‘Hey man, she wants you to change up a couple bars, so she wants to meet you in the studio.’ So I jumped in my car, drove fast as I could to get to the studio. I got to the studio before she came. I fixed up all the bars, she came in, [and] she loved it. The rest is history. She’s super professional. She’s a genius.”

    1. Hes such a sweet, genuine guy. [Hes] an amazing hard worker,

      Learn how to use proper grammar.

      Katy Perry=pop garbage
      Drake= pop grabage

      1. You white and probably a 90s baby who spends an unhealthy amount of time jerking off to race baiting articles courtesy of HHDX desperation to increase AD REVENUE ……but damn that’s some funny shit !!!

    2. Katy Perry is a fucking pussy. She’s far softer than drake. While Drake may not be gansta like Juicy J, its clear she’s mad at drake just because he didn’t give her enough money.

      katy Perry is only praising Juicy J just because he helped brought her back to no.1 after her last single bombed.

    3. Drakes impact on hiphop has been of significant detriment, he displays feminine qualities and portrays characteristics that were not only alien to rap, but despised. Him and Macklemore are a disease to the mainstream hiphop industry. Drakes fans are just as horrid. He has no classic projects in his entire piece of shit discography, a weak lyricist with technology aided vocals and melodies that sound horrid live, his subject matter is repetitive, superficial and cliche. Dude lacks any sense of innovation, his in house producers at OVO(40, boi 1da, mike zombie and T-minus) have been keeping his career afloat in my view, providing some of the most phenomenal creative production in hiphop. Drake as an artist himself, is incredibly underwhelming, just incredibly weak/mediocre in numerous departments. All of these factors considered yet his fans all dickride his nuts. Thank me later, NWTS, Take Care, comeback season, room for improvement and so far gone ARE ALL INCREDIBLY WEAK.

      1. Nevermind the fact that Black men have been raised by Black women for 2 generations. You sure any Black men out actually know what it is to be a man? Or you are used to animals “running” these streets that Jews like Donald Sterling own. Embrace your emotions. They exist.

      2. Those “jews” you refer to are not the true jews, Those “black men” are. There is a reason why “black men” have been getting kicked around for the last 400 years. but the OP is ON POINT. DRAKE IS A CANCER. SO ARE HIS SYMPATHIZERS.

    4. That’s hip hop in 2014, even the female white pop singers look tougher. Katy Perry would probably beat Drake up in a fair fight, I’m talking aboput hand to hand even if he was fighting back as hard as he could, she’d drop him.

      Rap in 2014 is nerd music.

    5. She’s mad that Drake hit and then never called her again. He showed me the pics of her on his iphone.

    6. LMFAO THIS SITE SUCKS AT REPORTING NEWS. HEADLINE IS COMPLETELY WRONG. DRAKE SUCKS BUT SHE NEVER DISSED HIM. DAMN THIS SITE MUST NEED HITS BAD. KEEP COMMENTING YA N1GGERS, MAKE THE OWNERS MONEY!

      1. i dont know… i think she kinda said it because listens to the breakfast club and was trying to get a laugh out of Charlemagne the god cause he always talks about drake… she said i love drake he’s like my secret diary…

    7. Juicy J is a drug addicted fake thug who helped give KP her only hit song off that album. No wonder she loves him.

      1. THESE TWO COMMENTS ARE THE REASON WHY I CAN’T FUCK WITH DX… TOO MANY SWEETBACKS ON HERE LISTENING TO GAY ASS POP MUSIC,

    8. If Drake was 10 shades darker, no one would be calling him soft. Its just good old racism because he is light-skin. But just like most racists, no will admit this shit.

      1. Wait…So, because Drake is light skinned, people are MORE inclined to hold his race against him versus if he were as black as say, an Ethiopian checker at Walmart? Did you actually read the moronic garbage you submitted before you hit “post reply”, you obvious Drake Stan? Holy shit.

    9. Hahahaha softest in the game 5 years running, you know you fucked up when even actual bitches are calling you soft!

    10. Hes like the most kindest, sympathetic, sweetI dont wanna make him out like to be softer than Drake

      ^

      …….ETHER!!!!

      DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

    11. The reality is that once you strip the fame, bi-ethnicity, sales and money talk away, and have some type of knowledge of music to actually notice talent or not, you will be able to notice one thing:

      Drake can’t sing.

      That’s why he was marketed as a rapper in the first place. Yes he harmonizes, but he cannot hold a note, scat, change tones frequently. Go listen to Teddy Pendegrass, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Rick James, Al Green, D’Angelo, John Legend, Keith Sweat, Ne-yo, even Timberlake. Drake does nothing like that. Drake would be a 3rd wheel for The Temptations. Listen to how he’s struggling to hit those high notes on ‘Aston Martin Music’.

      He’s not going to release a straight rap album (which means a Hip Hop album with rhymes, street (not club/dance) beats) is because his label ain’t gonna allow it. Simple. His bars for albums with that music won’t compare to Big Daddy Kane, Nas, Biggie, Cube, Ghostface, even Game.

      So his “lane” as of now is to play the grey area, borderline, stay neutral. Only ones who can’t see this is his rabid fans. I could even see the females being emotionally attached, but you men? Females barely comment here and look at what you say.

      1. yo, u really feel that way? u talk about “emotionally attached” yet u a (white teenage boy) decided to spill your heart out, about an artist who wont even read it. No shit he aint Marvin Gaye, dont remember him claiming to be either. look at the multiple rnb tracks that hes made, and where they ended up on the charts. have u produced anything type of music that has reached millions of people. Your prolly a Limp Biskit, and insane clown posse fan to,

    12. katy perry better watch what she says cause if drake wanted to he would body her carreer like he ended dmx, commons, pusha t and a lot more. I like katy she is hot and makes good hits but she needs to realize drake is someone you don’t mess with.

      1. “he would body her carreer like he ended dmx, commons, pusha t and a lot more.”

        “drake is someone you don’t mess with.”

        Hahahahahaha!

        (breathes)

        Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha.

        Drake ain’t body shit and no one is scared of his soft wannabe Stevie Wonder ass. But hey, whatever get’s your dumb ass to sleep at night.

    13. “If Drake was 10 shades darker, no one would be calling him soft.”

      I could name thousands of artists that are way darker than Drake and still are being constantly called “soft”

    17. Yal do realize your opinions are just that, opinions? Arguing on here like your feelings on Drake are facts. You aren’t an artist, you aren’t a critic, you aren’t a producer, you aren’t an editor, you are, as am I, just someone with an internet connection and an opinion. Stop promoting your opinion as the right thing and learn to see things from other people’s views. You’ll be amazed at how successful you are. I’m not a millionaire but that mindset has made me pretty successful and happy in my life.

      1. You should realize that, no one cares what you say so, save it for whatever chapter needs it in the self help book you’re writing.

    18. Awww, look at all the fucking butthurt comments over someone calling out Snake for what he is. When Katy calls you soft, well….Hahahahaha.

      Lick some nuts you cash money fags.

      Go drink some cough syrup like your heroes stupid wayne and justin wiener.

    19. Drake’s wearing me and, looking at that picture now, even I have to say this dude is soft. I mean….LOOK at him! Dude looks like he bought me from the Macy’s women’s department on clearance. Is he talking to Katie about where she got her fabulous Jimmy Choo’s?

    20. That wasnt a diss and you ignorant niggas need to get real must niggas and rappers are not thug. Just because Drake sings about women doesnt make him soft. If you aint doing this for money and women you more than soft

    21. Wait what,,,!??? Hahaha,, did she just say,,,,,!! Oh snap!! That nigga is indeed soft if even these hoes look at him like that! Hahahaha ooh shit!! This has made my day cos not long when Pappose said it and most of yo niggas blasting him to be a hater and a so called ‘not relevant’ not this hoe who is on top of her game right now said it too,,, what do u think??! She is only saying as it is just like Pappose did call that Album and most if not all, soft! Selling many records does not make you tough your appear to the masses is clear nigga! # Soft! Bwahahhahaha

      1. lmao she talks about 1 black person n now she loves black dick even tho all her ex white? lmao black ppl n their egos haha

      2. Anon is most probably white like the majority of you racist keyboard warriors on this site .

        Just saying…”Travie McCoy” has a white mother .I know it’s not convenient to you racist weirdos but that does mean he is of “mixed heritage”

    22. Drake looks like a fucking faggot in that pic, where is the time where hardcore rappers took over the rap scen and soft gay rappers where dissed till they cry!

      1. Those days are long gone ! It all changed once ringtones became the defining factor of hiphop . And when Nas said hip hop is dead, a bunch of you done the standard trolling, talking about he old BLAH BLAH …You reap what you sow

    23. Drake ain’t soft you should take the time and lissen to hes lyrics, he disses rappers al the time with some smart words, you just need to lissen good top he lyris that he is a hardcore rapper!

      1. If you think dissin rappers is what being hard is about, or doing dumb shit for street cred is what being hard is about you’re probably a soft cornball yourself.

    24. It may not have been a straight up diss, but she did imply Drake is soft and Juicy ain’t that soft as if Drake is the standard of soft. This probably made Drake real sad, now he’s gonna eat ice cream while watching Lifetime movies.

    25. My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour’s sister has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out.

      This is what I do,,,,,,,

    26. What does this white heathen bitch know? Drake is most certainmore of a man than some of these raggedy niggas out here. Only thing soft about Drake are his nuts. I just love the way they feel when they’re pressed up against my chin. Oooh, they feel so baby soft and smooth.

    27. What does this white heathen bitch know? Drake is most certainly NOT soft. At least he’s more of a man than some of these raggedy niggas out here. Only thing soft about Drake are his nuts. I just love the way they feel when they’re pressed up against my chin. Oooh, they feel so baby soft and smooth.

    28. Does Drake run around claiming that he’s the hardest person ever? No. Who the fuck cares then? Do you have to be hard in order to be a hip-hop artist? No. Were A Tribe Called Quest, Arrested Development, Biz Markie, Del The funky Homosapien, Souls of Mischief, Beastie Boys or De la Soul hard? Are Murs and Brother Ali hard?

      Drake is who he is. He’s a real nigga. Drake, Nas and possibly Freddie Gibbs, are some of the only real niggas left in hip-hop.

      1. Your boy’s is cake soft and sweet bottom line, the cats you brought up don’t have that boy band vibe about them. Drake is 3 niggas away from being 1 direction, and having the whitest woman in the biz call him soft makes it official, listening to Drake is a man law violation.

    29. When I think about the realest rappers, Nas, BIG, and 50 come to mind. But you gotta put Drake up there.
      People always make the case that he’s a “simp” or “soft”… But he tells the truth. He talks about what he knows, which is mostly love. But when he starts sending shots everybody calls him fake. If somebody was coming at you, would you just stand there?

      Drake never claimed to be something he’s not and continues to be on top of the game. Realest rapper out.

      1. He’s been getting marketed as a teen idol it comes with the territory if he had just been marketed as just a nice lyrical rapper which he is he wouldn’t have this problem. But he’s still soft and a simp.

      2. Drake and real shouldn’t be in the same sentence. He is clearly the new Ja Rule. If he kept it real he would be more like Nelly. Regardless he’s not on the same level as Nas, BIG, 50, Jay, and Em. Your just young and not very knowledgeable of the hiphop culture. Give it time, you’ll learn soon enough.

    30. “Roar” was a flop? Pretty sure that shit was #1

      I was talking about unconditionhally. That’s how much of a bomb it was if you can’t remember it.

      1. No roar wasn’t a flop but that was long ago. She then released unconditionally which flopped and had to rely on juicy j for another hit single.

      2. That song did not flop, it made the Top 20. She didn’t rely on Juicy J for another hit, hell, Juicy J can’t even make a hit for himself.

    31. Drake and real shouldn’t be in the same sentence. He is clearly the new Ja Rule. If he kept it real he would be more like Nelly. Regardless he’s not on the same level as Nas, BIG, 50, Jay, and Em. Your just young and not very knowledgeable of the hiphop culture. Give it time, you’ll learn soon enough.”

      Just because he’s more appealing to women doesn’t mean he ain’t real.

      1. No he’s not. Try to pull girls acting like him and see how quick you get friendzoned. Hoes just tv like that nigga and groupies just want a come up.

    32. “having the whitest woman in the biz call him soft makes it official”

      An opinion is official? That’s news.
