New York Times reporter Joe Coscarelli shared an email response from Steel in which the lawyer spoke about the above-mentioned Drake song. In what looked like an email from The Steel Law Firm P.C., Steel said,
"Thank you for the below, Mr. Journalist. I was unaware of same. Thank you for sharing. I have had the honor and pleasure of meeting with Mr. Graham. He is so kind, considerate, generous, inspirational, intelligent - a true leader and great model for our community."
In Drake's initial Instagram post of the tracklist, the song title was written as Brian Steele, a misspelling of Young Thug's lawyer's name. However, the Family Matters rapper has since updated the post without the extra "e" in the spelling.
