Vic Mensa says that regrets dissing Drake on his 2017 song, “Danger.” The Chicago rapper reflected on the decision during a new 15-minute freestyle on Sway’s Universe, last Wednesday. He also mentioned his beef with Lil Yachty, DJ Akademiks, and XXXTentacion.

“I fell victim to addictions in my mental state/ Stupid shit, like dissing Drake – that was a big mistake,” Vic rapped. “But when you raised in a cage, all you know is MMA/ I dissed Yachty, dissed Ak, dissed XXX/ It was disrespect, it made the fans dis-invest/ I lost M’s like a Dow Jones regression/ But every L taught me an invaluable lesson.”

After the freestyle, he spoke more about the topic with Sway, revealing that he's since made amends with those he mentioned. “I’ve actually spoken to all of ’em, man,” he said. “I saw Drake at Virgil’s funeral and had some words with him. Yeah, he was [receptive to it]. He was like, ‘Man, honestly, I didn’t even understand it.’ And when I recall and think back, it was like, I was just gassed up being young. You know, Kanye, JAY-Z – they bickering so I wanna jump in. It was unnecessary. I spoke to him.”

The one person that Mensa says he hasn't been able to reach out to is DJ Akdemiks. He says that he wants to go on his show, Off the Record, soon to apologize to him in person.

“Akademiks is one person that I have not spoken to," Mensa said. "But I’m at the space right now where I don’t got room in my spirit for beef, no problems with nobody. I’m beyond that. So, I’ma sit down with Akademiks. I’ll go on his show and speak to him. Because me and Akademiks’ [issues], it was really more ideological too.”
