Drake and Joe BuddenĀ helped make Sunday night a little less mundane.
The former foesĀ appeared on Instagram Live Sunday, andĀ engagedĀ in a brief discussion regardingĀ why they have never been able to meet one another in person.Ā "You're the only one that, like, avoids me for some strange reason," Budden said, citing that he's cool with everyone else on OVO.Ā "Never avoid you,"Ā Drake responded. "I just don'tĀ see you. We're never in the same place."Ā
"Cause I'm too broke?," Budden jokingly asked.Ā "I didn't want to say it," DrakeĀ said, with a smile.Ā
Budden brought up how fellow podcasters,Ā Elliott Wilson andĀ B.Dot of Rap Radar, were able to interview Drake late last yearĀ when theyĀ visited hisĀ sprawling multi-millionĀ dollar mansion in Toronto, which we got a tour ofĀ in his latest video for "Toosie Slide." Ā
Before heĀ left, DrakeĀ said that they should coordinate an interview "when the album's ready," but Budden questioned hisĀ suggestion, saying, "You've been saying that for a year, and now I have a whole leaked album with like 30 Drake joints." The Toronto rapper reassured him that all of the songs he's talking aboutĀ are "old shit."
Drake also promised to stay in Budden'sĀ IG LiveĀ comments in the meantime. "Why do you troll me this way?Ā Honestly?Ā Like, you don't think it's hurtful to me?,"Ā Budden asked, to which Drake could only say that his trolling wasĀ alwaysĀ meant to have anĀ "encouraging undertone."Ā
