The Breakfast Club
Michael Rubindefends his decision to 86 Kendrick Lamar‘s megahit, “Not Like Us” during his annual all-white party … and admits it was all to drake relaxed.
The CEO of Fanatics told The Breakfast Club on Wednesday that it was his decision – and not Drake’s – to ban the record, which has now become the biggest song of K. Dot’s career!!!
Waiting for your permission to load Instagram media.
MR confirmed the story that TMZ Hip Hop broke last month – that despite the song’s enormous cultural and chart success, none of the DJs at Rubin’s party turned the plate.
Rubin called Drake his friend in real life and said he never embarrassed him … but admitted that Kendrick didn’t issue the ban on the song until the day of the party when the song slipped through the cracks.
The all-white party was on July 4, but Rubin says they had a pre-game barbecue the night before… and “Not Like Us” started streaming from Spotify’s RapCaviar playlist – right before Drake showed up!!!
Kendrick too released the music video for “Not Like Us” on July 4th to add fuel to the fire.
Drake took over RapCaviar in the wake of his 100GB explosion and currently holds the top two song spots and the cover photo.
Rubin took to social media to dispel rumors that Drake was too depressed about the fight with Kendrick to really enjoy the party. From what he remembers, Drake had a great time!
Kendrick’s diss is the best-selling song of the year, but Rubin believes it’s a good test for Drake to get back on his feet.
Enemies should beware of friends like these!!!
