Recently, 50 Cent opened up about his friendship with Drake and shared what advice he gave Drake following Drake’s rap battle with Kendrick Lamar.
50 said, “I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you. Don’t let yourself think that for a second.”
He continued, “On some real st, I said, ‘;They said you lost, okay. Well, what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherfking thing, man.”
He added, “If that’s the moment, you keep your creative energy in the right place, and keep creating. If you slow down because you feel, ‘What the f**k?’ The resistance will make you feel like your material isn’t good.”
50 Cent continued, “Then you gotta figure out how to keep pushing, how to keep creating — because that’s what it feels like to you at the moment. That shit was good for Hip Hop. It made both of them create quality material faster.”
