Grime Legend Wiley Continues To Call Drake A "Culture Vulture"
Drake has pretty much laughed it off with a reasonable response too.
(AllHipHop News) Wiley and Drake are feuding over the Canadian rapper’s involvement in the U.K. grime scene.
Wiley, known as the “Godfather of Grime” for his role as a pioneering British MC in the early 2000s, has slammed Drake as a “vulture” for his involvement with one of his old grime collectives, Boy Better Know, and promotion of U.K. artists as proteges.
Drake responded to the remarks during a DJing stint on BBC Radio 1Xtra on Saturday, revealing how hurt he was by the comments.
Gigg’s responded by calling Wiley a “f##king clown” and telling him to “leave me alone” and not involve him in tweets he subsequently deleted.
Drake has spent the last two weeks in the U.K. playing a seven-date run at London’s O2 Arena.
During his stint, he also debuted the trailer for the third season of “Top Boy,” a gritty drama about London gang culture he bought the rights to and has turned into a Netflix series.
