Mos Def has addressed the controversial comments that he made about Drake earlier this month where he called his music “compatible with shopping.”

Mos took to Instagram and sort of apologized to Drake for the comments, adding that he didn’t mean to sound harsh or play down his talent and popularity. He says he has also tried to reach out to the Toronto superstar but hasn’t heard back yet.
