Mal Reveals Drake Texted Him About Jay-Z's Roots Picnic Freestyle

Jamil “Mal” Clay claims Drake is who first informed him of the explosive lyrical content of Jay-Z’s Roots Picnic freestyle this weekend. In a recent episode of his and Rory Farrell’s New Rory & MAL podcast, Mal recalled being in a largely phone-averse mindset while he instead took in a Spurs game. “The funny shit about all of this is Drake is the one that told me about this freestyle, because I was watching the Spurs game,” he said. “I wasn’t online. Game 7 was on. The Knicks was waiting. I’m trying to see who the Knicks gon’ get so I’m not even paying attention to my phone, nothing. So I think it was halftime or something, so I look at my phone, and I see texts from Drake. Jay-Z had a lot to say in his freestyle, including some bars aimed at Drake. He wasn’t explicitly mentioned by name, the target of key lines was immediately clear.
