Added: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]You know, look, it's been a tough year for him, right? He started out with Drake and that kind of disaster of of making the decision to go after Kendrick Lamar or Universal.

[00:00:11]And you know, again, like I mean, in my opinion, you know, Drake was the bigger artist. Drake's you know, has record sales. Like you know, why wouldn't you thank Kendrick Lamar for mentioning your name?

[00:00:24]>> [laughter] >> Right? Like like isn't there another approach reputationally where you can take this and say, you know, what?

[00:00:31]Like taking the high road sometimes is taking your reputation back and being better than pointing out the fact that you're hurt and and and wronged and and making, you know, and and adding more um you know, adding more eyeballs, insights, and frankly, people that get annoyed by by the justice system being used for you know, purposes that that that don't necessarily help people and and frankly a lot lot of lot of real survivors out there and a lot of really people that are hurting that that need the court system. And hopefully we can all do do, you know, pro bono work and help others and and and really like change um you know, kind of the the bitter taste that went on in this case. But I have nothing but the highest respect for my Godly and um and and the Lord knows >> can tell. YEAH.

[00:01:29]>> [laughter] >> HE HE HITS HIM WITH HE STARTS WITH DRAKE, it ends with Blake. He hits him with the Drake fastball. I have nothing >> [laughter] >> nothing but collegial respect for my my opposition.

[00:01:44]>> [laughter]
