“I fuck with Turrell,†Drake says in his now-infamous Rolling Stone interview. This week’s premiere of the “Hotline Bling†video demonstrated the extent to which that is true, with many rumors suggesting that the 72-year-old light-based artist James Turrell had actually collaborated with Drizzy to help create the meme-generating masterpiece. Alas, to set the record straight, Turrell has issued the following statement, posted by Donn Zaretsky at John Silberman Associates, the firm that represents him: “While I am truly flattered to learn that Drake f*cks with me, I nevertheless wish to make clear that neither I nor any of my woes was involved in any way in the making of the Hotline Bling video.†But is Turrell team 1-800-PIZZABLING or tennis court, though?
