If Drake was trying to get a rise out of Pharrell, he might have to try a little harder.

Speaking with GQ during a recent interview for their Men of the Year series, the multi-hyphenate spoke on Drake buying some of his jewelry through an auction before tersely addressing Drake’s subsequent boasts about the chains on Travis Scott’s “Meltdown” and Drizzy’s own Kendrick Lamar diss track, “Family Matters.”

When asked about whether Drizzy’s bars affected him, Skateboard P simply replied, “It didn’t” before confirming that Drake’s barbs didn’t “strike” him.

If you’ve been keeping score, you might find it hard to believe Pharrell’s words. If you haven’t, here’s the rundown: Drake is beefing with Pusha T, who was once signed to Pharrell’s record label. The two remain frequent enough collaborators. In what appeared to be an attempt to get at Push — or perhaps some unexplored beef with Skateboard P — Drizzy bragged about owning P’s jewelry.

“I melt down the chains that I bought from yo’ boss/ Give a f–k about all of that heritage s–t,” he rapped on “Meltdown.” Meanwhile, on “Family Matters,” Drake revisited the topic, rapping, “You wanna take up for Pharrell / Then come get his legacy out of my house.”

While he didn’t speak as much on Drizzy specifically, Pharrell did get philosophical when he touched on the idea of letting things go physically and mentally.

“I guess some things are not for me to understand,” he told GQ. “When you let things go, a huge part of it is actually letting go. Not just of the physical item, but letting go of your connection to what it’s supposed to mean, or the memory. You’re literally letting them go. That was the purpose. It’s like when people sell something and they go, ‘I just want to make sure you take care of it because this is my baby.’ And I’m like, ‘No, no, no.’ This is not my baby. That’s why I’m letting it go.”
