Let me tell y'all something. There will never be a Watch the Throne 2. You know why? Because that's the reason why I wasn't on the song ["Pop Style"]. I wasn't on the song because of Hov. Because of some Tidal/Apple bullsh**. This sh** get me tight every time I perform this motherf**er. Y'all didn't get what y'all was supposed to get with me and Drake on this song because of some Tidal/Apple bullsh**. This sh** got me tight. Every time I perform this song I think about the sh**. I think about the politics and the bullsh**. I think about how hard I go for music, for art, for y'all, for the fans—how hard we go
I started freestyling to it. Jay thought of a couple lines. I said, 'Man, just go ahead and throw that on there. They'll be so surprised. He probably wouldn't expect you to be on there.' And [Drake] was like, 'Oh sh**, The Throne is on this sh**!' Then Jay thought about it and, out of respect for Meek Mill, he ain't want to be on the track. And I said, 'Look, I'll call Drake, I'll call Meek, I'll call y'all…we gotta let people have this song!' But then it went out of that territory and it went into some Tidal sh**, some political sh**, some sh** about percentages on songs. I can't take this sh**, bro! Our kids ain't never even played together. Run that sh**
