Drake's Sorry, Sylvia



Drake's reckless talk about Universal Motown head Sylvia Rhone stirred controversy that began with jab at the executive on "Say What's Real" from his "So Far Gone" mixtape. Well, the Toronto rapper manned up and apologized to Rhone, saying his comments — both in the song and in a recent interview — were "emotionally charged" and "very brazen."

The tension came to a head this past week. First, when Drizzy's comments in the upcoming issue of Fader magazine got out, he reportedly said, "I don't f--- with Motown at all." Drake said he signed a deal directly to his management company and secured distribution through Universal Republic, rather than signing with the major label directly.

However, Billboard today suggested that Universal Motown execs have put their foot down and demanded that all work from Drake be stamped with the Motown logo.
