Uncle Luke says Drake's response was "unacceptable."

Uncle Luke slammed Drake in a video on social media, earlier this week, after the Toronto rapper seemingly liked a clip of of Rick Ross and his team getting jumped for playing Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" in Canada. Luke says it's a dangerous move and condoning it is "unacceptable."

“This whole fighting with my boy Rick Ross and his guys in Canada, that’s unacceptable,” he said. “That [isn’t] supposed to happen. And what’s more unacceptable is when Mr. Drake liked the post. I expect more out of Mr. Drake. When there is violence, you don’t condone it. Drake, you should be bigger than that. You don’t like no posts because here’s what happens: there’s always a backlash to it all.”

He added: “Even if you were not involved, half of the country thinks you set the man up. They book a show in Canada and you send your goons out there to agitate and start a fight with Ross. When you, Mr. Drake, liked the post, you inserted yourself into violence with Mr. Ross and his crew.” Check out Luke's full comments on the recent altercation below.
