Drake apologies after leaked song calls Kylie Jenner a ‘side piece’

'Last thing I'd want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected'

Drake has apologised for comments made on an earlier Future collaboration track that was leaked unintentionally on Wednesday (May 20).

On the song, Future – real name Nayvadius DeMun Wilburn – calls out Kylie Jenner as a “side piece”.

“A song that Mark ran last night on Night Owl sound live set shouldn't have been played,” Drake wrote on his Instagram Stories on Thursday (May 21).

“It's a song that leaked three years ago and got scrapped shortly after,” he continued. “He was just going too deep in the drake/future catalogue. Last thing I'd want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected so I just had to stay that to start off the day.”

“Yeah, I'm a hater to society / Real s***, Kylie Jenner, that's a side piece / Yeah, I got 20 motherf*****s' Kylies,” Future raps in the leaked song.

Drake later mentions Kylie's older sister Kendall Jenner, rapping, “Yeah, I got 20 damn Kendalls / Young slim baddies and they in Vogue / Yeah, I got 20 f***ing Gigis.”

In March, Drake angered fans after calling Sophie Brussaux, the mother of his two-year-old son Adonis, a “fluke”.

On his song "Say When", the rapper says: “Baby mama fluke, but I love her for who she is.”

Fans subsequently expressed their discomfort over the seemingly dismissive lyric on Twitter: “Drake is rude as hell … [she] has never said anything bad about you…and she’s a fluke?! He needs to be slapped!” wrote one user.
