Drake fears his long-running feud with rival Chris Brown "could end really badly"

They were involved in a mass brawl when the pair clashed inside a swanky New York nightclub last year.

But rapper Drake tries not to dwell on his long-running feud with Chris Brown because he thinks “it could end really badly.”

In a new interview with US GQ magazine, the Canadian lyricist talks openly about his "enemy".

When asked about his problems with Chris, he said: “I don’t want my name to be synonymous with that guy’s name. I really don’t.

“I wish we could sit down, just like you and me are right now, and talk it out man-to-man. But that’s not going to happen.”

He continued: “I’m not confrontational, but if someone challenges, I’m not going to back down.

“It’s embarrassing, the amount of media coverage. Two rappers fighting over the woman.

“He’s not even a rapper, but still, it’s the last way you want your name out there. It distracts from the music.”

Drake, 26, said: “But he’s made me the enemy, and that’s the way it’s gonna stay, I guess.

“If I think about it too much, I feel it wrapping around my foot, like I get a feeling it could end really badly.”

In April, Drake told a radio station: "His [Chris’] insecurities are the fact that I make better music than him, that I'm more popping than him and that at one point in life the woman that he loves fell into my lap."

This probably wound Chris up a tad!

But his latest comments would imply the Take Care hitmaker would rather concentrate on making music than bedding women.

He explained: “You know the way fighters don’t f*** before the fight? Sometimes I feel like I’m so focused on training my body and getting my mind right to create this album that sex isn’t one of my main priorities.

“If someone is around that I know and trust, I’m down. But I’m not going to end up with some stranger at this party.”

Charming. We're just a bit disappointed nobody asked him about hooking up with Amanda Bynes.
