This morning, AllHipHop.com ran an exclusive with Drake, refuting the authenticity of a song “Control” , released with former G-Unit songstress Olivia. The Young Money star said, among things, “I apologize to any fans who was duped into thinking [that I worked with Olivia].” With the full statement available at AllHipHop, Olivia’s manager Rich Dollaz contacted HipHopDX to clarify the song’s inception and Drake’s reaction.
Below is Dollaz’ statement, as told to HipHopDX this morning:
“Number one, we never said we worked with Drake. Number two, the Canadian producers who did [‘Control’], Sold Out Entertainment, we sent them our part back. They leaked out the record which is why I’ve always said the record been leaked, not because we wanted to diss Drake, but because we understand what it was. We never worked with Drake, we did out half the record and they did their half.
The producers put together the record and leaked it before they confirmed with Drake. We don’t really care. It was for a mixtape Under the Radar, which comes out on the 25th on OliviaWorldwide.com. We’re not pressed about it, because it’s a mixtape record to us, so it is what it is. We never planned to do anything with it, but put it on a mixtape so it’s no big deal.
Maybe it was a big deal for [Drake], because he has a couple records on the radio right now. I don’t really know what the issue is, but like I said the record is on Olivia‘s mixtape Under The Radar. We never said it was on her album, the producers sent us the record asking Olivia to get on it.
We were under the impression that they would go back to Drake and get the proper authorization, which obviously they never did, because they leaked the record on Saturday.
This is not bullshit, because Drake shouted them out on the record. That’s why we were under the impression that its all good. The first thing Drake said on the record was [acknowledging the producers with] “Sold out, I see you.”
So why would we think anything differently?
[The] bottom line is we thought Drake was paid, which is why we felt he was authorized we let the sold out guys handle all that we sent the record back no label cleared him but that was never the intent of the song to be on Olivia‘s album.”
Olivia has yet to announce her album details, though the singer is reportedly in talks with four different major label record companies.

Niggas Do anything these Days For attention I knew that shit was odd for him to be on a track with wack ass olivia this nigga is international lol
Drake you’re wack for denying the producers this song, when they paid you for those 2 verses back when you were a nobody.
Besides, as someone mentioned here… this joint is 1000x hotter than your current single.
I found the producers’ myspace page (www.myspace.com/souledoutrecordings)
Peace
Olivia and her peoples on some bullshit. Talking about just cuz he got some records on the radio….and what? Olivia don’t. She ain’t been hot since “Bizzounce” with her one-hti wonder ass. I’m no Drake stan, but I know bullshit. She knew she wanted that record out, mixtape or not, that’s why her team keep saying what day it come out, where niggas can get it and the name of the tape…and they say the shit over and over. Like damn, say the shit once don’t repeat it, lmao. I give ’em credit for being hungry, but they know they lying, lmao.
@CHUUUUUCH Drake never said he didn’t record it- he just said he never recorded it Olivia’s thirsty ass.
