Drake Responds To Jay-Z’s “Pound Cake” Line: “I’m The Big Homie Too” [Video]

“The way I came into the game was under somebody’s wing and when people look at me they still see this kid who’s searching for his place, or searching for acceptance, even though that’s not the case,” Drake told MTV News at a FIFA 14 launch party in New York City, referencing earlier days with his mentor Lil Wayne.

Specifically, he’s referring to the lyrics, “F— all that ‘happy to be here’ sh– that y’all want me on/ I’m the big homie, they still be tryna lil bro me, dog/ Like I should fall in line, like I should alert n—-s when I’m ’bout to drop something crazy and not say I’m the greatest of my generation.”

“That’s the first time I’ve ever said that before,” he adds confidently. “On this album I’m extremely aware of where I’m at and nobody can tell me differently. I’m the big homie too. As much as I do remain humble and stay cordial, don’t think I don’t know. I know what’s going on out here, I’m 26 — I’m out here in the streets with the people.”
