Drizzy refuses to apologise.

Drake has responded to critics on social media after he dissed Kid Cudi for having a mental illness.

On new song ‘Two Birds One Stone’, the Canadian rapper responded to Cudi’s previous diss with some very harsh lyrics.

“You were the man on the moon, now you just go through your phases , life of the angry and famous,” he raps.

“You stay xanned and perked up , so when reality set in you don't gotta face it.

“Look what happens soon as you talk to me crazy…. Is you crazy?”

Shortly after the song was premiered, some fans expressed their disappointment at Drake’s lyrics.

Drake dodges lyrical rappers but disses a depressed suicidal Kid Cudi that's in rehab, Drake is a clown.
