Quotes from Drakes interview with Complex Magazine. He's the first member of YM to speak about the rash and crude performance last Sunday night.
�That, actually�to be honest�was a terrible idea that I�ll never do to myself again. But I was being pressed from different areas to perform, and I think what really happened at the BET Awards is with the passing of Mike, the climate really changed, as far as the award show goes. I don�t think it called for us to perform �Every Girl� and �Always Strapped,� and I think it was an award show filled with tributes and music and these genuine heartfelt speeches. And to sort of climax out of a very tongue-in-cheek point, and then people misconstruing Wayne�s daughters and her friends coming out on stage.�
�Well, I can only speak for my portion of it. I had asked for something very specific for my performance and none of those were met, as far as production value, so� I understood my situation, as far as sitting in one place, and figured there was a way to make it interesting. But when I looked around and noticed that none of that was going on, I kind of just realized that it was going to be a loss for me. But at the end of the day, it is what it is.�
For any parents and other viewers offended by the performance, Drake says �To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn�t intended to offend anybody.
What do ya'll think about that?
