Young Money star Drake has finally addressed ex-Little Brother member Phonte's accusations of dodging him and 9th Wonder for a collaboration despite giving them multiple public accolades.Drizzy said while he does apologize to Phonte, there is an explanation for a delayed collabo. "With me and Tay, I kinda dropped the ball on a feature he needed me to do, just being 100% honest," he explained. "I really wanted to do a record with him, and we actually did do a record for my album, and then something happened with the producer and the beat, and it started getting funny so I had to scrap the record. And then he was like, 'Well, can you do this feature for me,' and at the time I was trying to find my sound and trying to figure out what this album was going to be about, and I kind of let it slip through the cracks. That was my fault, and I do apologize to Phonte for that. But I still want to make it happen; I talked to 9th Wonder about trying to make it happen, we'll get it eventually. He knows he's one of the biggest influences on my career." (Village Voice)
In August, Phonte gave his reaction to Drizzy dedicating his BMI Awards "Songwriter of the Year" trophy to him and questioned their delayed joint effort..."To my knowledge, [a Take Care collaboration] is not happening. We've made contact with each other but all of my attempts to make something real happen have led to a dead end," Phonte said in an interview. "I saw that he dedicated his BMI award to me and while that was a very noble and thoughtful gesture, I'd much rather he had dedicated himself to finishing a verse for one of me and 9th [Wonder]'s songs. That, to me, seems like a more tangible way of showing gratitude. But with that said, I'm still a fan and I think he's an incredibly talented artist. When Take Care drops, he's got my money."
