Andre said&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;A few weeks ago&comma; Kanye reached out about me being a part of the Donda album&period; I was inspired by his idea to make a musical tribute to his mom&period; It felt appropriate to support the Donda concept by referencing my own mother&comma; who passed away in 2013&period; We both share that loss&period;” Andre continued&comma;” I thought it was a beautiful choice to make a clean album&comma; but&comma; unfortunately&comma; I didn’t know that was the plan before I wrote and recorded my verse&period; It was clear to me that an edited &OpenCurlyQuote;clean’ format of the verse would not work without having the raw&comma; original also available&period; So&comma; sadly&comma; I had to be omitted from the original album release&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>The statement didn’t end there&period; The ATLien further explained that the track he received and wrote to didn’t have the diss verse on it and that they were hoping to make a more focused offering for the Donda album&period; However&comma; things didn’t pan out that way&period; He was direct and stated that it was unfortunate that the track was released in this way and that two artists that he loves are going back and forth&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>As he ended the statement&comma; he mentioned how he wanted to be on Drake’s album &OpenCurlyQuote;Certified Lover Boy&comma;’ which dropped yesterday&period; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;I just want to work with people that inspire me&period;
