Drake stole the show when he invited Future and Drizzy on stage to perform with him his number one hit son Way 2 Sexy.
Well, he dropped yet another bombshell to attendees when he took some time off the performance to laud and celebrate J. Cole.
“I gotta say this ‘cause I don’t always wanna have a heartfelt moment when we’re on stage together. You know, you did that ‘Pipe Down’ freestyle the other day. You were saying in the freestyle that they gave you the bronze or whatever, me and Kendrick [Lamar]...I just want you to understand something. You are genuine, without a doubt, one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a mic.” Drake said.
Drake's praises on J. Cole came barely days after the latter, through his Heaven's EP freestyle rapped that people have been putting him at the third position after Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
“Some people say that I’m running third, they threw the bronze at me/Behind Drake and Dot, yeah, them n***as is superstars to me.” J. Cole rapped.
Drake for J Cole
Well, while many people placed J. Cole at number three, Drake encouraged him by confirming he is one of the greatest rappers alive.
“I just want to let you know, there are way too many people in the world that think and know that Cole is in the top position. I love you with all my heart, you’re my brother, one of my favorite artists. Always appreciate you having me out here.” Drake assured Cole.
Just recently YEN.com.gh reported that Drake got his fans all excited after announcing the release date for his album.
Going on his Instagram page on Monday, August 30, the Canadian rapper announced that his project, Certified Lover Boy, will be released on Friday, September 3.
In the post, Drake shared the album cover that showed a repeated emoji of 12 pregnant women with different skin tones and shirt colours.
On the other hand, it could mean that Drake has other kids out there that no one knows about, and he is trying to send a message through the album.
Many can recall that the rapper finally started sharing about his son Adonis after Pusha T revealed, in a song on his album, that Drake was 'hiding' him.
The news went viral on social media, with many sharing their views on what the album cover could mean.
