Controversy ensued over the radio and album versions. Epic Records decided to place Nas on the radio version due to his popularity at the time instead of 50 Cent. 50 Cent became angry at "former" friend Nas. Nas threatened him, stating: "So he's like a kid living in a hip-hop fantasy world. J.Lo is a friend of mine, if she wants to do a record, I'm doing a record with her [sic] 50 was like a little brother to me."^[5] In response to 50 Cent's constant slamming of the collaboration, Nas stated: "To sum it all up, 50 is still a new artist. I would say he's got a good five to six more albums before I can really respond to him. With my other battles, it was different. This is not really my thing right here."^[6] 50 Cent held no hard feelings towards Lopez, but towards Nas only. According to Epic Records, the switch in artists made on the radio version was "purely business."

 

This was on J.Lo's "Im Gonna Be Alright". He was the original Azealia Banks (but it worked in his favor)

Jay z is a Rap legend and Beyoncé‘s Career is bigger. Sit down and have some respect. Even Drake disagree with you.

 

And he isn’t even a Beyoncé Fan. He stans Taylor.

2012 Drake would agree with you. Drake is not kneeling down for them

apparently the streaming era is a reborn of the industry

[Witch Privilege]

I thought he was going to do 1M with the way everyone was hyping up the album.

 

Still great numbers, though.

[BabyCantYouSee]

Only 160k pure sales? Views sold 800k+.  This is pretty underwhelming tbh. I thought he was going to debut with 1m+.

I'm Upset he's gonna break that Beatles record

Drake has a giant Beyoncé poster in his recording studio. Like @Queenyoncee said "sit down and have some respect"

Among Drake's record feats on the Hot 100, he boasts seven songs in the top 10 simultaneously, besting the Beatles' record of five that had stood since 1964. (The Beatles remain the only act to monopolize the Hot 100's entire top five in a week.) Drake adds five new Hot 100 top 10s, upping his career count to 31, passing Michael Jackson for the most among male soloists; one of those new top 10s, "Don't Matter to Me," features Jackson, who earns his 30th top 10.

Beyond the top 10, Drake charts 27 songs overall on the July 14-dated Hot 100, breaking his own record for the most simultaneously charted titles. All 25 tracks from Scorpion, released on Young Money/Cash Money/Republic Records, appear on the chart.
