Rolling Stone have just revealed their latest issue, featuring a tasteful tribute to late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. One person, however, isn’t happy about it: with Drake reportedly “disgusted” at the magazine’s actions.

It turns out that Drizzy was promised the cover feature before Hoffman’s passing, a decision that was later understandably reversed. “I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil,” the R&B musician said on Twitter.

He also denied quotes attributed to him that seem to criticise Kanye West’s recent album, adding: “I’m done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That’s the only way my message gets across accurately.”
