According to ComplexMag, their staff took the call, and spoke to Wale for less than three minutes.
In those three minutes, Wale claimed that staff members at Complex had a personal bias against him, then started shouting and making threats.
"At this point, you know it's got to be personal," he said.
"You telling me it's not personal. It's like a bold face lie. To be omitted from every type of list that y'all do or be at the bottom of it or every type of way that y'all can omit me, ya will."
Staff told him it was not a personal thing. Wale cut him off.
"You mean to tell me Juicy J album better than mine?" he said, his voice rising. "Is that what you trying to tell me?"
He did not give the staff a chance to answer.
Staff tried to explain how their lists are formulated, Wale cut him off:
"I swear to God I'll come to that office and start knocking n****s the fuck out," he screamed.
Staff tried to talk to him calmly.
"Alright," Wale said. "I'll see y'all tomorrow. Get the security ready."
Then he hung up on staff.
After Complex Magazine released the phone call, Wale eventually responded to the recording with an Instagram video making fun of himself.
