- Drake is on the cover of the 150th issue of XXL, and in the mag’s profile, he finally responds to Amanda Bynes’ bizarre series of tweets about him this year. “I don’t even know who that is doing that or what that’s about,” he explains to Thomas Golianopoulos. “If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whoever is behind it, whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going.” Props for taking the high road, Drizzy. [XXL via Vulture]
