He responded to someone jokingly saying he sounded like Drake on twitter by saying “Lol. Kids say the darndest things.”

Also when asked about his influence on Drake in a 2010 interview said

“It just made me proud … I was glad to know that I was able to inspire someone from the next generation just as someone had inspired me beforehand,” he said of the acknowledgment.

“It was almost like passing the torch … things are coming full circle for me.”

During that same interview, Phonte also praised the Canadian rapper for being so open and transparent about his influences. “Lot of cats like to act as if their music is created in a vacuum. But Drake was just very honest.”

He appreciated Drake honoured him. Phonte doesn't need to go talking reckless etc, dude is a grown man and acts like one.

This here.

Everything in Hip Hop doesn't need to be about disrespect. One of the things I always respected about Phonte is how much respect he shows other artists. On Questlove's podcast, he always speaks about his appreciation for other rappers. Grown man sh*t. Which is literally what we need more of in the game. That should be what people expect. Not that other nonsense.
