Drake slams Macklemore for sending text to Kendrick Lamar after Grammy win

After Macklemore won Best Rap Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards, he texted Kendrick Lamar to offer his apologies telling the rapper that he should have won instead of him. (If you missed it, see it here). Well, Drake isn't impressed. In the new issue of Rolling Stone, Drake makes it very clear he thought the message was unnecessary.

He tells Rolling Stone

"I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better — make better music. It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won?"

 "To name just Kendrick? That shit made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"

Pics: Woman whose face was filled with 'cement' by fake plastic surgeon gets help

Rajee Narinesingh, 46, was born a man. He decided he wanted a different life and identity and turned himself to a woman. He didn't like what he looked like as a woman and decided to have plastic surgery done. She didn't have enough money to go to Beverly Hills 90210 doctors and decided to do what she could afford. The black market plastic surgeon she paid to do the surgery injected 'cement' like filler into her cheeks, lips, breasts and buttocks leaving her face looking deformed.

The fake doctor who carried out the operation, Oneal Ron Morris, 32, was jailed for a year in January 2014, nine years after she carried out the surgery, after admitting one count of practicing healthcare without a licence.

Thankfully for Rajee, after her predicament was made public, a doctor offered to fix her face.

“APC is like a newly opened church of Satan with the evil as a pastor which could not be distinguished by Nigerians from a true living Godly church and hence could be mistaken for a real church, even when it was made of thieves (Legitimate Pen Robbers),” Mr. Bakare, who pastors the Latter Rain Assembly, was reported as saying during a sermon.

But his lawyer says he never made such a comment

“The publication which has been shared on other online news platforms and social media has no shred of truth. It is malicious, offensive and intended to disparage our client and cause him embarrassment and public condemnation.”
