Drake Gives His Acceptance Speech For His VMA & Shades Common

While we were still wiping away following Beyonce’s stellar performance at the 2014 VMAs, Drake (who received the award for ‘Hip-Hop Video Of The Year’ earlier in the evening) was delivering his acceptance speech in front of a sold out Boston audience at the “Drake Vs. Lil Wayne” tour.

“First of all I want to thank God. I’d also like to thank my mother cause I love her very much,” he said after “thanking” Common, who gracefully accepted the award on Drizzy’s behalf. In case you’re wondering where the shade came in, Common and Drake had a rap beef over Serena Williams a few years back that resulted in Common calling Drake “Canada Dry.” The shade was subtle, but so freakin’ good.

In related news, Drizzy also took shots at Chris Brown. We know, we know. We thought they were friends again after working together on that skit for the ESPYs. We guess he just hates the song “Loyal.” After Weezy performed the summer anthem, Drake said “It sounds like a f*cking car commercial” then added “f*ck outta here with that sh*t.”

Oop! Could it be because Drake and Chris’ ex, Rihanna allegedly rekindled their relationship?
