Canadian rap sensation Drake has apologized for the Young Money set’s controversial performance of “Every Girl In The World” at last week’s 2009 BET Awards. Viewers and celebs alike were infuriated after Drake and Lil Wayne performed the popular single in the presence of Wayne’s young daughter, Reginae, and several of her friends.
In the song, Wayne and Drake rap about having sex with “every girl in the world,” which made the presence of Wayne’s preteen daughter and her friends upsetting to many viewers.
In an interview with Complex Magazine, Drake said he regrets the decision to bring the girls onstage.
“Yeah, it was just timed very poorly and it definitely wasn’t planned like that, but with that being said, it is what is,” Drake said. “I believe in Wayne and myself and it’s nothing we can’t bounce back from. To anyone who was offended, my personal apologies, it wasn’t intended to offend anybody.”

Nevertheless, we love the lyrics and that’s enough to get a thumbs up from us.

And while Quincy admits he loved Michael, he speaks candidly about what he perceives as the tortured genius’ obsession with race and his poor self image.
