Future sues Drake after insult gets him booted from NWTS tour

Future insults Drake. Drake hears and kicks Future off his tour. Future sues Drake as a result. It's messy.
Future obviously has a lot to learn about networking. When he was at Billboard to talk his latest album, Honest, the “Karate Chop” MC took the title literally and talked Nothing Was the Same, and while his management says his comments were off the record, that didn’t stop them from getting out on Twitter.
“Drake made an album that is full of hits but it doesn’t grab you,” Future said to Erika Ramirez. “They’re not possessive; they don’t make you feel the way I do.”
For Drake, that was enough. The New York Post’s Page Six says it didn’t take long for word to reach October’s Very Own, who reportedly insisted to his agent that “either Future gets fired, or he’ll fire him.”
The two apparently almost reconciled last week before Future ended up pulling the plug for good. Now, days later, he’s filed a lawsuit in lost wages, claiming that he was set to earn $40,000 per gig on the 39-city slate. We knew Drake was a little sensitive, but yikes!
