The talk show host took some open shots at Kim for having plastic surgery on "The Wendy Williams Show" and Queen Bee responded by asking her to "stop hating," and throwing some pretty dirty words her way involving the late Notorious B.I.G.

Drake's '5 AM In Toronto' Addressing 'Hottest MCs' Rank?

Posted 3/7/13 11:03 am EST by in Music News

It's been apparent that MTV News' annual, and often controversial, Hottest MCs list has really ruffled some feathers this year--see: Kanye West and A$AP Rocky's reactions--and judging from feedback on Drake's new track "5 AM in Toronto," fans are concluding that the YMCMB rapper ain't too pleased about his #5 ranking either. The track, produced by Boi-1da, clearly addresses a few issues that's been bothering him, (including that Chris Brown brawl over the summer), but there's been strong reaction to one line in particular: 'I made Forbes list, n---a f--- your list, everything's looking gorgeous.'

Drake had a monumental year in 2011, which earned him the #2 spot on last year's Hottest MCs list, but this time around the YMCMB rapper landed at #5. While some fans respect that position, noting (like we did) that he didn't release a body of work in 2012, despite dominating features, there was plenty of uproar from those who felt he should've made the top 3, or better yet--#1.
