Jack Antonoff Jabs Drake With Universal Lawsuit Joke At Variety Hitmakers
Drizzy has never commented on Jack Antonoff. Drake has been the only one receiving jabs by Antonoff in 2024. The producer joked about Ye over the summer while on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Referencing Ye while discussing why he doesn't like working with men in the music industry.
“I think men… There’s two people that I think are almost too over-sensitive to even function, and it’s men and members of the music industry," explained Antonoff to Jimmy and the audience. "The amount of sensitivity… it’s sort of like watching Kanye. By the way — and Jimmy, you might like this because I know that you have your own relationship with the right and how you interact with them, and you’re much closer to how I see these things than other people. So I just do more of this, like… like if I saw Kanye, I would run up to him and be like, ‘The diaper… your diaper is so full, we have to change your diaper. Your diaper needs to be changed, there’s a huge problem.'”
