Analysis
In response to the
leaking of Life Of The Party by
Drake, Andre 3000 says he didn't know the album was going to be clean and since the song was still explicit it was cut from the album. He also didn't know that
Kanye West's verse contained a Drake diss and just wants to work with people who inspire him.
Andre 3000 Full Reponse
"A few weeks ago
Kanye reached out about me being a part of the
Donda album. I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom. It felt appropriate to me to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother, who passed away in 2013. We both share that loss. I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album but, unfortunately, I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse. It was clear to me that an edited ‘clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw, original also available. So, sadly, I had to be omitted from the original album release.The track I received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and we were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album but I guess things happen like they are supposed to. It’s unfortunate that it was released in this way and two artists that I love are going back and forth. I wanted to be on
Certified Lover Boy too. I just want to work with people that inspire me. Hopefully I can work with
Kendrick on his album. I’d love to work with Lil’ Baby, Tyler and Jay-Z. I respect them all."*There may be errors on this page.
