Kanye West has voiced many surprising opinions on stage, and one of them recently through Drake for a loop. In an interview with DJ Semtex, Drake addressed a comment Kanye made on stage where he seemed to bash the fact that DJ Khaled and Drake's "For Free" was always on the radio.

"Is it just me or did you hear that song ["For Free"] so many times?" Kanye said at a Sacramento show. "You know what it is, though? Because I love Drake. I love Khaled. But they set that song up, bro."

Drake seemed to address his feelings about the comment at the AMAs, but went into further detail with Semtex over the weekend. "I went from ... working on a project with him, to him sorta publicly shitting on me and DJ Khaled for being on the radio too much," Drake told Semtex in a revealing interview. "I don’t really even understand the point you’re trying to make but whatever it is that you’re going through, I accept it, I don’t respect it at all."

Now Kanye has offered a short clarification of his remarks after being approached by paparazzi. Hoping to get a response out of Kanye, a photographer told him, "I agree with you, I think Drake's overplayed bro," to which the rapper replied, "I never said that."

Watch the clip below. Last September, Kanye hinted at his rumored collaborative album with Drake, saying "There's some exciting things coming up soon."
