At last month's Grammy Awards, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis dominated the hip-hop categories—but Macklemore felt their win for Best Rap Album was undeserved. In a much-publicized exchange, Macklemore apologized to Kendrick Lamar via text message. He said, "You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It's weird and sucks that I robbed you." Macklemore posted a screenshot of the text on Instagram, which was widely criticized as a self-congratulatory move. Lamar, however, responded kindly, noting that Macklemore's win was "well deserved."

Drake, who was also nominated for Best Rap Album (along with Kanye and Jay-Z), has a stronger opinion. As Rolling Stone reports, Drake said of the text, "that shit was wack as fuck." He told Rolling Stone:

I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text message? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better—make better music... It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won? This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your shit.

He added, "To name just Kendrick? That shit made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"
