Drake 'Too Much' Made His Mother Mad at Him?

Though Drake is a very popular rapper, there is at least one person who doesn't enjoy all of his music: his own mother.

In an interview with Elliott Wilson of CRWN, presented by Myspace, Drake discussed how his mother was mad at him after he performed his song "Too Much," on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon."

"For the first time, my mom was very upset with me. She was upset because she felt like it warranted a personal conversation before I went and said that in a song. What I had to remind her of was that we had had that personal conversation many times over and I felt like it wasn't going anywhere," the rapper told Wilson." It was sitting on my chest so heavy that one night, when I had that second verse to finish, it just all ... It was a huge release."

"I don't even think I've ever felt like that before. I wasn't even writing it down, and I'm not saying that to sound cool. I was just in the booth running in and out going line by line, because thoughts were going through my mind so fast," he continued.

Drake added that he wasn't trying to hurt his mother, but rather express his emotions, and even explain how important she was to him.

"I knew my mother would be watching. And since I chose to communicate that message to her publicly, I wanted to also communicate another message publicly, which was, 'I love you. I love you with all of my heart, and I want the best for you. I didn't want to make the world think you're just some woman that's just hiding out, but at the end of the day, I want a lot more for my mother,'" the rapper said.
