Popcaan comes to Drake’s defense after Mr. Vegas called out the Champagne Papi for not crediting Dancehall artists enough.
“OVO Unruly, we don’t need your help,” Popcaan says in an Instagram clip addressing Mr. Vegas’ recent shots at Drizzy.
On Monday (May 16), Vegas called into Hot97’s Ebro In The Morning to clarify what he meant when he called Drake “fake” during a Facebook Live broadcast.
“Why did Drake link Beenie Man to on sing back that record if that’s the one he wanted? Or why let Beenie Man do something new?” Mr. Vegas asked. “So then I’m listening to the record further and at the end of the record when the record done, you can hear the record fin, Beenie Man doing the outro. So I’m like, Drake is rampaning my artists. You using my artists as intro men.”
The song in question is “Controlla” which includes a Beenie Man sample from his song “Tear Off Mi Garment.” A leaked version of the song also included Popcaan, which didn’t make the final cut of VIEWS. Popcaan’s “Luh Yuh Bad” is also sampled on “Too Good” featuring Rihanna.
Popcaan and Beenie Man are both however, credited writers on “Too Good” and “Controlla” respectively.
Vegas’ main issue was that Popcaan nor Beenie Man were listed as a featured artist on the respective tracks that they were sampled on.
Popcaan has no issue with this as he solidifies his and Drake‘s OVO Unruly alliance, making it clear which side of the fence he’s on.
“Don’t try to violate my brother now,” Poppy says. “You don’t know anything about Unruly or OVO. You don’t need to defend Popcaan.”
The irony of the situation is Popcaan made his sharp statements wearing a Nike soccer jersey that read “Pay Homage” across the chest.
Video of Popcaan telling Mr. Vegas he doesn’t need his help is below.

Straight fukry, man came to your defense, nd your gona nut hug
why when drakes going to promote poppy and unruly and get him to a wider audience he is along with busy signal one of the more talented dancehall artists and they don’t get push in the states or proper record deals Vegas hasn’t done anything worthwhile in years its like comparing coolio to chance the rapper
This is what the H-to the OMO’s do. Drake and all his little buddies they f*** each other and then praise each other. Kissing each other’s ass. Its rampant in the industry

Me and Drake are collecting money for people who dont have money so give your money to someone who doesnt have money then that person can give that money to someone who doesnt have money and we will all be rich like the 6 god

Gaygas? What is this, Earthbound?
Drizzaveli is smart for aligning himself with Jamaicans. He knows that these dudes don’t fuck around. Say one ting out of line about Drake and they’ll be on you like vultures on a carcass. Believe that! #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife #VIEWSPlat1stWeek
And what does this do for you, personally? What have you gained from this new piece of information? You receive an OVO gift card? Flyer miles? Stanning on 1000% every day for nothing. #DonkeyOfTheDecade #OVOffYourself
