iLoveMakonnen Says Drake Threatened to “F*ck [Him] Up”

Last year, iLoveMakonnen hinted via Twitter that he had possibly bumped heads with Drake at a VMAs after-party. “Idk what this is all about?” he tweeted. “@Drake I have no beef or animosity towards u, what happened just now is beyond me, I hope we can talk about this.”

The Atlanta rapper has since been mum about the situation. In his first interview since coming out as gay, he opened up about the hostile encounter in his recent interview with The Fader.

Read an excerpt below:

I was threatened by others. Someone I so-called look up to. Saying, “We gon fuck you up the next time we see you.” And I was like, “Let me stop being me.” I started to go back to, “I’m just gonna go eat anything, and just be hiding myself and shit.” And then I was like, “No! I’m not doing that no more! I don’t give a fuck! I’m — me.” And that’s what led me to coming out and shit.

It was in the middle of the goddamn afterparty at the Up&Down club [in New York]. Everybody that was in there was in there. I’m in here around these Vanguard Awards and I’m accepted and I took pictures with Chainsmokers and G-Eazy and everybody and we all friends. And I’m here in the middle of the floor, no security, and they coming and I just step to the side and they see me and stop and the biggest motherfucker in the game goes, woo woo woo, “Next time I’ma fuck you up!”

And all security and everybody stop like, “What the fuck.” And the guys with me was like, “What you do?!”

I don’t have nothing to say. All I did was smile. And I guess they took that as a threat. I was confused, like, “It can’t be little old me. I’m just a goddamned old record from way back when. What the fuck am I doing causing stresses and pains?”

Around all that security, the dude that’s doing it — we have a platinum-selling record together! The guy! The leader of the crew! This a nice VMA party, bruh. This ain’t no little back alley on the southside of Atlanta. Do you think I’m on some let’s buck shit?
