Stephen Curry has addressed his friendship with Drake after he was seen criticizing Kendrick Lamar‘s diss track, “Not Like Us”, last year.
In a new interview with Speedy Mormon for Complex, Curry was asked about his relationship with the 6 God, answering: “We go way back, though, and it’s actually kind of a family thing too. One of Ayesha’s cousins is from Toronto, and she’s from Toronto and the whole deal. So, we’re all in the same boat.”
He then tackled his distaste for “Not Like Us”: “Everywhere we went, it was all I heard. And, the fact that they know who I was with. You can’t do nothing about what the DJ’s playing. But I was like, I got sick of it at a certain point. It’s funny the cameras caught me because that was from the soul.”
In a video from the Paris Olympics last year, the USA basketball team could be seen warming up when “Not Like Us” begins playing on the speaker system.
Curry, who is stood next to LeBron James, can be heard saying: “Damn with this song. It’s not the only song in America.”
Drake has just dropped his latest single “Which One” with an assist from Central Cee.
The track is a ladies anthem which sees the 6 God once again flirting with afrobeats and dancehall with him often rapping in what appears to be a Caribbean accent.
On the sultry song, Drizzy raps: “You’re not like the tings you’re around / You’re a real good girl, so I’m bringin’ you down / But come to the bed, I’ll fling you around.”
Central Cee follows his lead but in a more explicit fashion, spitting: “God forbid a girl’s tryna have fun / I got X, if you wanna take drugs / You wanna have sex or do you wanna make love / Which one.”
Drake previously played a brief snippet of the track during his three night headline stint at Wireless Festival earlier this month.
It’s been a busy month for Drake in the UK with the rapper earlier this week paying tribute to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne as he performed in the Black Sabbath singer’s hometown of Birmingham.
Yellow diamonds look like pee-pee…
That song is clearly promoting dissension among black people based on the degree of their coloration. Since I would be considered cafe au lait, I get a lot of negativity from my darker skinned brethren, always have unexpected to always be there. So I would never champion such a nebulous contention as this song and infers. Generally a high intellect is looked down on in the inner city, so if you a degree of intelligence. He would have to tone it down in order to interact at the level of your compatriots; That’s why so many champion this song because it gives them a hall pass to signify their faux bona fides. My poor ass don’t need the pass, and Steph’s rich ass certainly don’t need one!
