When asked whether he was tired of being asked about the drama behind the song, Bassett told BuzzFeed, "No, I mean, I get it. I get why people are asking about that stuff — but it doesn't really get to me. It's kind of amusing at this point."

In an episode of Saturday Night Live, there was a sketch all about "Driver's License" starring Bridgerton star Regé-Jean Page and Rodrigo's ultimate celebrity crush Pete Davidson. And, of course, the cast members couldn't talk about the song without bringing up rumored behind-the-scenes tension.

This didn't bother Bassett at all, however. "Even like the SNL stuff, that's hilarious to me," he said. "People were so worried about me — and I'm like, dude, I'm honored that SNL is making fun of me! "

He also has no ill feelings towards Rodrigo. In fact, Bassett's happy for her and added, "I'm also just proud of her and the success that her song is having. I really couldn't be mad at the situation."

His EP, Joshua Bassett, is out now and can be streamed here.
