The Weeknd RESPONDS to Drake diss song!

If you remember a few nights ago Drake fired off what seem like not so subtle signs at Abel (The Weeknd) sounding obviously not pleased with the fact that The Weeknd did not sign with his Label OvO. (You Can download the Track Here he Said this line

"And I’m the only nigga still known for the music"

The Weeknd Reponse? To the Whole Track and to that Line was tweeted out Friday afternoon by him.

the music will always speak for itself.

Seems like No Salt on The Weeknds part … Drake obviously isn’t done though! Lets RECAP the whole "beef"



Well The Weeknd eventually went on to sign a solo deal with Universal Republic this past September and release Trilogy with no attachment to OVO in November. That’s apparently when Drake and The Weeknd’s relationship went sour. The Weeknd was suppose to sign to a Label started by Drake called “OvO”. He started it under Warner and even courted the name among hip hop fans as OVO – XO or commonly OvOxo (Xo being The weeknds Brand). Obviously it was set up for The Weeknd to be the Lead Artist of Drake’s Imprint and Drake placed his brand behind it early by putting him on songs on Take Care and giving him great media looks with songs and collars.

All because they were homies? Or so we thought. Drake thought the fellow canadian vibe + the fact Drake has done so much for him meant The Weeknd would automatically sign to OvO. well either Drake took too long to establish Ovo or The Weeknd didn’t want to mix business and friendship but he DID NOT sign with Drake. Now Imagine how Drake felt, You put so much behind helping another artist career (who to The Weeknd Credit- is talented but exposure wasn’t 1/10,000 what it was without Drake) and he not sign to your label. Well Drake Tweeted about just that in the tweet below. And if anyone knows @Drake on twitter. He is a man of a few words. Speaks a little but means a lot.

You won't get away with just a thank you...you owe me a favor.

Drake Sent a few Shots at The Weeknd in his latest single “Started from the Bottom”

"I could turn your boy into the man
There ain’t really much out here that’s poppin’ off without us, nigga
We just want the credit where it’s due I’ma worry about me, give a fuck about you
Nigga, just as a reminder to myself
I wear every single chain, even when I’m in the house
Cause we…"

"No new niggas, nigga we don’t feel that
Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at?"

Drake’s camp took one more step to draw lines in the sand by his OVO (usually referenced as OVOxo in the past) sent out this tweet.

Just OVO.

So now here we are. Why did Drake say “We just want the credit where its due?” .. Obviously he said that to make it clear he was talking to Abel who previously had complained about others (his ex producer) trying to claim credit off his success.



(Listen from 2:30 )

"These pussy ass niggas tryna hold on to their credit
So I tell them use a debit
Watch they image start to lessen"

Well these lyrics were recorded before Started From the Bottom and aimed at The Weeknd’s ex producer taking credit for his “sound/style” but obviously Drake made it clear he was talking to Abel by referencing “credit”.

Neither have yet to speak on this directly or in interviews. Drake eventually will do an interview. The Weeknd still hasn’t done an interview in his career. But One will have to answer to it eventually, but knowing how music is now. They’ll sweep it up under the rug. But to all fans of “OvOxo” that might be a thing of the past. Look out for Drake’s new album this year. & The Weeknd? Not too sure. We’ll see.
