And when LoRosa asked if Drake had made the request himself, Rubin took full responsibility.

That was a me decision.

I just thought it was the appropriate thing.

What I said to Drake and I honestly believe this is this is a great test for him.

You cant get to where hes got to and not have people coming for you.

Aww, how sweet.
