iLoveMakonnen addressed Migos’ comments undermining his (recently publicly revealed) homosexuality, in a new interview with the Fader. “It don't even matter. Migos say whatever they said. It's a misunderstanding,” Makonnen said. When asked what he thought about the apology statement the rap trio released in the aftermath of their initial comments, Makonnen replied, “Y’all gotta do y’all for face game to save your face. Y’all gots to do y’all. I’m gon’ always do me. I got no animosity towards y’all... It's whatever. Ain't nobody hit me up personally. Y’all want to reach out to me? I’m not hard to find! I’m not hiding from nobody. Don’t talk on me saying I feel like I have to hide, don’t mention anything about me.”

Makonnen also claimed that Drake threatened him in a New York nightclub last August, during a MTV VMAs afterparty. “It was in the middle of the goddamn afterparty at the Up&Down club,” he said. “I’m in here around these Vanguard Awards and I’m accepted and I took pictures with Chainsmokers and G-Eazy and everybody and we all friends. And I’m here in the middle of the floor, no security, and they coming and I just step to the side and they see me and stop and the biggest motherfucker in the game goes, woo woo woo, ‘Next time I’ma fuck you up!’”

Makonnen continued, “I don't have nothing to say. All I did was smile. And I guess they took that as a threat. I was confused, like, “It can’t be little old me. I’m just a goddamned old record from way back when. What the fuck am I doing causing stresses and pains?” The rapper/singer also revealed that while his relationship with OVO Sound has ended, he’s still signed to Warner Bros. and is working on a new release for the label, and has also been collaborating with Mike WiLL Made-It. His last solo release was Drink More Water 6.
