Drake's recent Twitter tantrum following Rolling Stone magazine's decision to bump him off of its cover in favor of late actor Philip Seymour Hoffman caused quite a stir.

So much of a stir, in fact, that the Toronto rapper reconsidered his criticism of the magazine for coming across as, well, an inconsiderate douche.

"I completely support and agree with Rolling Stone replacing me on the cover with the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman," Drake, 27, blogged Friday. "He is one of the most incredible actors of our time and a man that deserves to be immortalized by this publication. My frustration stemmed from the way it was executed."

Drake also expressed his contrition on Twitter.

"I once again apologize to everybody who took my cover comments the wrong way," he wrote. "I respect Rolling Stone for being willing to give a kid from Toronto a shot at the cover. I guess this is a day to learn and grow."

The controversy started when Drake tweeted the following comment in reaction to learning that he'd been replaced on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine by Hoffman, an Academy Award winner who was found dead in his New York City apartment of an apparent heroin overdose two weeks ago:

"RIP to Philip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil," Drake tweeted Thursday. "I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want to give my music to the people. That's the only way my message gets across accurately."

The least any of us can do following such a mistake is learn from it. Drake, if he's being sincere, has learned his lesson.
