If you could recall, in a 2014 interview with Vlad TV, rapper Common briefly talked about his beef with the Toronto rapper Drake over his ex-girlfriend, Serena.

"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."
