Ex-Top Dawg Entertainment artist Reason admits he only supported Drake during the Kendrick Lamar beef so he could be let out of his contract.

“When the Dot and Drake beef started, I felt like Top [Dawg] and them were kinda, like, dragging their feet a little bit,” he explained to Bootleg Kev. “And I knew that if I kinda sparked a fire a little bit that they would be like, ‘We gotta separate from this.’ So I started tweeting s**t on the side of Drake purposely.”

Moosa later responded, “Dave [Free] never wanted us to sign Reason. He called him a substitute teacher.”
