"And Draya, Dollicia ... The rest of them?" Drake asked as his back was turned to her. Tae sat quiet again unsure of what he was really asking, what he really wanted to know that she hadn't already confessed about.
"They were a 'at that moment' thin...
"He released another diss track." Oliver's fingers scrolled through endless articles.
"For what!?" Chubbs asked sounding annoyed.
"Where's 40?" Drake looked around the room. He stood up and began walking towards the door. OVO Radio was minutes from going live. Oliver adjusted the headphones on his head. Chubbs stood up and followed behind him. It was obvious Meek Mill wasn't going to stop showing his hatred for Drake and anything Drake related. "40!" His voice echoed down the halls. He pushed opened the door of the studio. "Email the track to Oliver."
"Now?" 40 frowned showing his confusion.
"Now." Drake said disappearing from the door. He pushed open the doors to the second studio. His whole Toronto home had been turned into his office. It showed just how much the business meant to him and everyone around him. The signal went out and OVO Radio began. Oliver's radio perfect voice flowed through the microphone as he introduced himself and the episode number. At the very last minute, Drake changed the whole entire show.
The first thing millions of viewers heard was 'Summer Sixteen' it was official at that moment it would be the single to promote his fourth album Views a album that fans had been trying to track the release date for months now, containing lyrics that took yet another shot back at Meek just hours before he released his. It wasn't enough to play it once. Instead, Drake put the track on repeat for the first 15 minutes of OVO Sound Radio.

"He told you about it?" Chris asked as she sat next to Tae. The head stylist for Paper Magazine popped her gum eyeing Tae.
She rolled her eyes. "Yea, he told me about the video and everything." Tae confirmed.
Chris looked down at Drake's Instagram post showing the visuals for Rihanna's new song with Drake. She scrolled down a little rereading the caption and chewing her gum. "Well I mean he does have to promote it... He is on the song... Have you heard the song?" She asked turning her attention to Tae.
"No, but he told me what he said in his verse." She let out another confession.
"What about her verses?" She popped her gum again. "You don't care?" Chris asked with curiosity.
Tae paused and bit down on her thumbnail. "It's not that I don't care, I mean of course I care what he says about other women. But at this moment it's just a song, he's reflecting on a past memory, he's literally made a career off doing this! If I sat here and complained and questioned what he rapped and sang about with every woman from his past I'd go insane! If anything changes I'll act accordingly."
Chris shook her head looking down at the phone. Tae began to be tagged in comments from the select immature Rihanna fans. "Better you than me, girl I couldn't do it I'd be cussing out all these lil kids putting 'Aubrih' straight petty"
Tae grabbed her phone back laughing. "Well obviously I'm a much bigger person." She gloated as she snatched her phone from Chris's hand.
"Shit! NOT me!" Chris hissed back flipping her blonde hair over her shoulder. Tae bit down on her bottom lip and frowned watching the malicious comments. She screenshot the photo and opened her Instagram, Chris looked over Tae's shoulder. Cropping the photo to fit perfectly Tae typed her caption in support of the song giving it more advertisements tagging both Drake and Rihanna in it, then posted it to her Instagram. The confusion between Drake, Rihanna, and Tae fans showed in a matter of seconds in the comments. Showing that she was well aware of Drake and Rihanna's current music with one another and that she was very much ok with it.
"You are so messy!" Chris said laughing.
Tae turned around frowning. "How! How is that messy!"
"Girl! You know damn well in less than a hour you going to be on every blog site." Chris said eyeing her.
"Ain't shit I can do about it. It's support. If they turn it into something else than so be it." Tae shrugged her shoulders and closed out her Instagram. She focused her attention on the watch face around her wrist, she then quickly opened her iTunes playing the current episode that Drake decided to release yet another diss song.
"He playing it over and over!" Chris notes pulling fabric from a bottom drawer.
Tae cocked her head to the side paying close attention to the lyrics. "It's another diss song."
"Another one? For what!?" Chris asked tossing the fabric on the table. Neither woman's knowledge to why Drake was releasing yet another song showed just how little attention they paid to Meek Mill and his career.
Tae frowned again. There was honestly no telling what Drake was up to, but he was definitely always up to something. Everything was planned out, everything was accounted for. She looked down at her phone, the comments continued to roll in. If only Drake could control his love life and relationships the same way he controlled his career. If he could control his feelings and love for past flings the same way he did a studio session. But then again would his music be as genuine as pure, as relatable if he was in control of those feelings, would he have made it this far in the industry without those intimate thoughts and memories of past women for him to place on wax. Whether Tae was just another chapter in his book or if she was there for the long run, she understood the artistry that propelled Drake into stardom, she understood why he did what he did, she understood he was a brand, and it was him who feeds it.
