In an interview with Vlad TV, rapper Common briefly talked about his beef with Toronto rapper Drake over his ex-girlfriend and tennis star, Serena Williams.

"For me I think it was an emotional thing. At that time it was the Drake-Serena situation. I ain't know what was going on and I ain't know if he was throwing things-shots at me. You know- this my ex and we kind of gone our separate ways. Unfortunately, the war might have been over a girl. At the time I never said that, but it wasn't totally that it was just more-or-less 'man do you respect me, because I actually like you as an artist,'" he told DJ Vlad.

Eventually, the beef between the two rappers died down once they came face-to-face and hashed out their issues, "The eventually became where I feel like you disrespected me too. I look back on it and say man I'm glad that it never escalated into anything like a physical thing," Common added, "Obviously, he's a very talented artist that has some- he has something original about him, I think he offers to hip Hop. At the end of the day I can appreciate him as an artist more than anything. I ain't got nothing but love."

 This isn't the first time Drake was called out for trying to steal someone's girlfriend. In 2012, Drake and singer Chris Brown got into a big brawl at W.i.P nightclub in NYC.

 The fight between the two hip hop artist were said to be over Rihanna after rapper Drake sent a bottle with a note to Chris Brown regarding his relationship with Rihanna. Later, witnesses say, a huge fight between the two entourages erupted and bottles were thrown, injuring partygoers and Chris Brown.

Entertainment Enterprises claims that after the fight at W.i.P nightclub, Greenhouse was affected afterwards and took a huge hit financially.

Sheesh! They don't call him heartbreak Drake for no reason!
