"Common has confessed that a jibe made in his track &amp;#039;Sweet&amp;#039; is directed towards Drake.  In the track, Common raps &amp;quot;Singing all around me man, la la la&amp;quot;, a jibe referring to Drake&amp;#039;s vocal stylings on his own music.  Asked about the motivation behind the lyrics, Common told MTV News: &amp;quot;He opened his mouth and said some things, so if that&amp;#039;s what he wants - all that subliminal [talk]\u00E2\u20AC\u00A6you could do that too, but say it now.  &amp;quot;The verse is about me but when you hear some of the stuff on the chorus it&amp;#039;s like you can&amp;#039;t help but think about [the] dude and I guess that&amp;#039;s what he felt. So at the end of day he fits in that category, he already embraced it, so wear it.&amp;quot; However, Common went on to say that he can recognise Drake&amp;#039;s talent, adding: &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s a very successful artist obviously and like I said, he&amp;#039;s a talented artist too - I give credit where it&amp;#039;s due.&amp;quot; Responding to the controversy after a recent show in Las Vegas, &amp;#039;Headlines&amp;#039; rapper Drake said: &amp;quot;I might sing, but I ain&amp;#039;t no bitch. If Common got something to say, say it to my face.&amp;quot; Drake has defended his approach to music recently, saying that he hopes to be remembered for being emotional as he believes it makes him different to other artists of his genre.
