Last night, Drake addressed that photo of him in blackface which was on the cover of Pusha T's Drizzy diss "The Story Of Adodin."

“This picture is from 2007, a time in my life where I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and typecast. The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment," Drake wrote.

Both the photographer on the shoot and the brand who made the "Jim Crow" shirt Drake is wearing in the photo have confirmed that the photos were meant to criticize the entertainment industry's treatment of black actors, not promote racism in any way.

But that's not good enough for Pusha T, who addressed Drake’s explanation on Big Boy’s Neighborhood this morning.

“That doesn’t change my view at all... You are silent on all black issues, Drake.... You don’t stand for nothing, you don’t say nothing about nothing," Push said. “You have all the platform in the world. You were so passionate back then? No you weren’t. That’s number one. That’s what I know.”

Here is Drake's full statement.
