Drake signed iLoveMakonnen to his OVO Sound imprint back in September, following the success of his breakout hit “Tuesday,” (which Drizzy helped fuel by hopping on for the remix.) Now that Makonnen has a name for himself, a record deal and even a Grammy nod for the song, a few things from the past are coming to light…like his disdain for the very man who has helped to make him who he is today! If you’ll recall, a bunch of rappers’ old before-the-fame tweets were exposed a while back, and in the latest batch, iLoveMakonnen becomes the newest victim. His earlier tweets from 2010/2011 are coming at Drizzy’s softness, but thankfully, he eventually cleaned it up in more recent years, explaining that he likes Drizzy, just not the die-hard fans that over-hype him and are ready to kill for him. I guess. Check out some of the shade in the gallery! Do you think Drake should be offended?

(Photos) Despite Denying Involvement, iLoveMakonnen’s Attacker Appears To Be Friend Of Troy Ave
Despite denying reports, it appears that Troy Ave’s team may have been behind the brutal fade “Tuesday” singer iLoveMakonnen caught during his CMJ performance last week in NYC. Troy and Makonnen got into a bit of a tiff on Twitter a few weeks back, after Troy remixed “Tuesday” and Makonnen wasn’t really a fan. “Y’all for trash for them remixes,” Makonnen wrote. “That’s the worst, fake beats and sh*t, lord! Let it go. Bootleg game. I like the DJ remixes, the rapper remixes are eh.” Troy responded with a threat, promising he’d “see about thum comments when we see u fat b#ch,” and it appears a member of his team really may have made good on it. Check out the pics a Twitter user uncovered in the gallery. This is all speculation for now, and even if true, doesn’t mean Troy sent him. What do you think happened? Let us know in the comments!
