Drake slams Rolling Stone magazine for replacing him with late Philip Seymour Hoffman on the cover
A few days ago, Drizzy got really pissed at Rolling Stone magazine for replacing him on its cover with actor Philip Seymour Hoffman who recently passed away after an apparent drug overdose.
Rapper Drake was supposed to be on the cover but the music magazine ditched its plan in favor of Hoffman's passing.
As soon as the issue hit the stands, the 27-year-old rapper took to twitter to air his disappointment. He also denied dissing some of Kanye West's raps as "questionable".

Drake then deleted his tweets and issued an apology for his outburst in a lengthy post to his blog.

According to the magazine, this happens all the time when musicians and actors die, adding they gave him advance notice it was dropping him from the cover in favor of PSH, However, it's not clear if they offered the rapper a future cover.With today being the 5th anniversary of So Far Gone I figured it's fitting to return to it's place of its origin in order to clear the air about an extremely emotional day.I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed.The circumstances at hand are completely justifiable (on the magazines behalf), but I was not able to salvage my story or my photos and that was devastating. They ran the issue without giving me a choice to be in it or not. I would have waited until it was my time because I understand the magnitude of the cover they chose but I just wasn't given that option and that made me feel violated.I apologize to anybody who took my initial comments out of context because in no way would I ever want to offend the Hoffman family or see myself as bigger than that moment. I am still the same person. Today I was forced out of my character and felt the need to react swiftly. These days are the worst ones. Waking up after a great night in the studio and it's your day to be picked apart.After dwelling on it for a few hours or days you will come to the conclusion that you brought it on yourself almost every time. So here I am having that moment. I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way. I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow.Sincerely,The Boy
What do you guys think? Is Drake just making a big deal out of nothing or the mag could have done a double cover?
