iLoveMakonnen Says Drake Called Him A Eric Benet Ass-looking N!##% And OVO Label Stopped Promoting His Music

Former OVO Sound artist iLoveMakonnen says he knew his days on Drake's label were numbered when the Canadian rapper allegedly started making snide comments Makonnen claims Drake once quipped he was an "Eric Benet-ass-looking-n****" right before they performed together at the 2015 Wireless Festival. Makonnen says he and Drake shared a dwindling bond prior to that moment. The Canadian megastar helped catapult Makonnen to nationwide success in 2014 via the "Tuesday (Remix)" which earned Makonnen his first platinum plaque, and his signing with OVO for a single deal. Makonnen says Drake started treating him differently when he began showing signs of weight loss hence the Eric Benet crack, and he claims the label stopped promoting his EPs. Makonnen says his relationship with Drake imploded for good at Rihanna's VMA after-party in 2016 when he attempted to reconnect, but he claims Drake met him with a facial expression that meant him bodily harm and he knew it was time to bounce from the label. Makonnen came out as gay in January 2017, and believes that decision caused the dissolution of many of his working relationships, and much of his inner circle in Atlanta, too.
