Billboard Magazine confirmed with the rapper's now former PR firm, ID-PR, that they no longer represented the star, despite handling the publicity for his album and his current tour.
The firm - whom were instrumental in the star sitting down with Rolling Stone - said in a statement: 'Drake is an incredibly talented artist and we're proud of our results for Nothing Was The Same and Would You Like A Tour? We wish him the best.'
According to the New York Post this was the final straw for ID as Drake - who is currently on tour in Sweden - has a history of being difficult during interviews.
The Post also points the finger at this his management team, composed of 'cronies from his hometown of Toronto who call themselves October’s Very Own'.
That's an apology? The 27-year-old later deleted all his tweets but posted this one as an attempt to apologise

A source told the Post: 'It’s a shame that someone with so much talent is surrounded by kids who are burning bridges left and right.'
The newspaper also reports that the rapper left on bad terms with another agency.
'We also hear Drake had an ugly split with another firm, The Chamber Group, after he got into a screaming match with a female publicist and ordered her out an elevator they were riding in at New York’s London/NYC Hotel.'
