COMMON & DRAKE MEET FACE TO FACE: THE REAL STORY

So Common and Drake have been involved in a beef since last year. Well since Drake dropped his verse on ‘Stay Schemin’ and then Common replying with his ‘Stay Schemin’ version I’m calling the Ether Remix, things went silent again only with Drake labelling the situation a ‘Ploy for attention’ and then Common stating he’s ready for a G.O.O.D Music Vs YMCMB battle. Well the pair were spotted out at the Grammys this pass weekend with many talking about a brawl taking place well not  quite as HHW has the exclusive as to what really went down find out after the jump!

Apparently, both Drake and Common’s entourages happened to be in the same area at the end of the Grammy red carpet, near where artists were being distributed their VIP credentials to enter the Staples Center, according to a source in the latter’s camp. Common felt it was awkward for two men that had exchanged words in song to be in the same vicinity without saying anything to each other. With the two eyeballing each other intensely, Common asked Drake, “What’s up?”

Drake responded with a “What’s up?” of his own, and Common tried to approach him with the intent of speaking to the Toronto rapper one on one. However, Drake’s security and other members of his entourage defensively intervened in his progress. Allegedly Drake said, “Yo, I grew up listening to this dude, what’s the problem?,” while his security was telling Common, “We respect you, this isn’t necessary.” But Common wanted to talk to Drake “man to man,” angered that two rivals would cross paths and just not speak.

One of the members of Drake’s crew turned out to be his father, Dennis Graham, who told Common the two artists “need to cut this out, y’all are better than this.” According to the source, the elder Graham’s intervention made Com change his approach, with cooler heads prevailing and the two rappers eventually going off to the side and speaking to each other alone. Holding true to the words he said in an interview moments before, Common and Drake exchanged pounds, and told everyone in their respective camps the beef had been squashed.

Police did arrive after hearing about a commotion, however they did not need to intervene with the situation already having been settled.

And there you have it!
