According to TMZ, Detail claims that Drake had his bodyguards attack him after he declined a job to be Drizzy’s producer back in 2014.
From TMZ:
“Time passed but the bad feelings lingered. Detail claims in June 2014, Drake invited him to his Calabasas estate, on the pretext of working together again.
Detail says he arrived at 2 AM and was met by Drake’s bodyguard, Chubbs, who coldcocked him and broke his jaw.
Detail says during the beating, Chubbs yelled, ‘I will beat all your asses, including your bitches. I don’t give a f***. I will hit you again. Do you think Drake is soft? You think Drake’s a punk?’”
Which reminds us of a certain line from “Headlines”:
“You know good and well that you don’t want a problem like that / You gon’ make someone around me catch a body like that…”
Detail is convinced the whole thing was a set-up, and now he wants his money. How much, we’re not yet sure. Stay tuned…
