Last year, Drake released a song, “Marvin’s Room,” that quickly went viral and prompted various remixes by fellow artists. The song featured a depiction of a young woman on a phone call as the rapper drunkenly croons, “You could do better.”

Now, Ericka Lee, revealing herself to be Drake’s ex-girlfriend, has stepped up, saying she was the voice on the other end of the phone call. The woman is now suing Drake for excluding her from sharing co-writer royalties on one of his biggest recent hits.

Lee filed the lawsuit last week in California federal court claiming the two had a romantic and business partnership between early-2010 and mid-2011. During the relationship, the two are said to have traded poems and song lyrics and discussed joint creative projects.

Last year, Drake allegedly agreed to work with Lee on “Marvin’s Room” and split the proceeds. Lee says she was asked to record the song’s “hook” as well as the opening monologue that would serve as the thematic framework for a song about Drake’s yearning for an ex-girlfriend and how his fame interfered with his love life.

Drake Says He Will Not Respond To Common Diss

Read more..]]> First Drake squashes beef with the tattoo artist and now this. In an exclusive interview with Nahright.com, Drake killed the hopes of any hip-hop fans (or proud Canadians) who thought he’d respond to Common’s diss on the “Stay Schemin” (REMIX).

While on the set of the the “The Zone” video featuring The Weeknd, Drake cleared everything up once and for all.

So people want to know: will you respond to Common?
No. Because despite how it’s been worded by him that situation is not a “hip hop moment” or a “battle for the sake of musical integrity”…it’s a ploy for attention around the release of an album. More than anything it was just disappointing cause what kid isn’t a fan of what Common has done for our genre. A guy who made such an incredible career for himself based off expressing genuine feelings about life and love is now targeting me for sharing my story.

Wow. If that’s how he felt, why did he respond to “Sweet” in the first place? To read more about why Drake is falling back and his shots at Vanessa Bryant CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL INTERVIEW.

During an interview at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, Drake stated:

Why Rappers Love This Restaurant

“I hope somebody makes a movie about Obama’s life soon because I could play him. That’s the goal. I watch all the addresses. Anytime I see him on TV, I don’t change the channel, I definitely pay attention and listen to the inflections of his voice. If you ask anyone who knows me, I’m pretty good at impressions.”

On the outside, it seems like the only thing Drake and President Obama have in common in their bi-racial background, but maybe Drake would do a good portrayal. Find out more details right here
