Common Recounts Feud With Drake, Speaks On Dad's Role In Squashing Their Beef

American Rapper and Actor Common and Singer Drake

Rapper and actor, Common has described how Drake's father played an important role in helping them resolve their feud.

The two rappers feuded in the early 2010s on songs like "Sweet" and "Stay Schemin'" before soon reconciling with the help of an unlikely source: Drake's father, Dennis Graham.

Common spoke on Drink Champs with Pete Rock about their feud and how Graham arranged a ceasefire.

“I eventually saw Drake face to face,” he said at the 34:18 mark in the video, referring to their meeting at the 2012 Grammy Awards. “It was at a point where I was like, ‘Wassup?’ And we had little words.

“And then his father was there and said, ‘Y’all need to squash this.’ And I was like, ‘Man, this an elder talking to me. This man’s father. Let me chill out.’ And then Drake just was like, ‘I ain’t on this.’ So we just squashed it.

He continued: “I was like, ‘Listen, if we face to face, then aight, I’m done with it. Even if it was some subliminal disses, I said what I had to say. Right now, we saying we squashing it. We good.'”

Common also said that the beef started after Drake began dating his ex Serena Williams and took “subliminal” shots at him on wax.

“I felt like Drake was sending me a couple of shots, subliminal,” he added. “I don’t know what motivated him to send me some shots but I think what for sure had me, if I’m just being real, like you know, we mess with one of the same girls. You know wars happen over women. That’s just what it is.”
