JAKARTA - Drake accused the media of taking advantage of negative things.

Earlier this week, the Canadian rapper shared a clip of a retired American Football coach, Nick Saban talking about giving the younger generation room to recover, and giving athletes a second chance if they make a mistake.

The video was taken from a press conference for a 2014 college football match.

"I feel strong about this now'very strong' about all the criticism out there against every 19-year-old player who made a mistake and you all killed him," the coach said in the video.

"And some people don't want to defend him, so my question to you is: where do you want him to be? Do you want to punish them for life imprisonment or do you want their children to be sent to Princeton?"

Drake wrote a note under the video that reads: "The world of journalism is cashing out negative things and making the younger generation more reluctant to find their way... Noise has been taken into account to move forward."

Last year, an Academic media figure posted a clip of permanent rapper Elliott Wilson conducting a backstage interview at the Rolling Loud Festival. Under him, Drake commented: "Hahaha, it's a shame that he didn't come to his platform for the second time and now Elliott 10 conducted an initial Yes Julz interview at Rolling Loud. [J] must admit that young men are taking over big dogs."

In a tweet that has now been deleted, Wilson responded to Drake's comments. Through HipHopDX, he wrote, "A moment of clarity: No disrespect for Lil Boat, Yachty's chat with the boy is comfortable and has cool moments" referring to the time Drake was interviewed on Lil Yachty's A Safe Place podcast, then called A Moody Conversation.

Wilson continued: "I'd rather tell you about comedy crimes with outsiders in our culture. It would be great to hear Drake talk to us [a hip-hop journalist] again. Even though it wasn't me."

This comment was made at the same time as the clip from podcasterulanto Althoff's interview with Drake which went viral.
