The attorneys representing one of the four men accused of killing XXXTentacion have filed motions where rappers Drake, Quavo, Offset, late Migos rapper Takeoff, Tekashi 6ix9ine, and Joe Budden, are named as witnesses.
The beef started over XXXTentacion, accusing the Canadian rapper of taking his style and copying parts of his song, “Look At Me.”
In an interview, the “Changes” artist said Drizzy could have communicated with him first.
“He could have reached out to me personally and spoken to me , and it definitely would have been more respectable,” XXX said. “But he dropped that preview, and it sounded a bit like ‘Look At Me.”
The “Hope” rapper continued, “He could be a huge help in this situation to get me out of jail,” XXX continued. “Because I’m facing life. So that’s just how I feel.”
