“OVO is basically in my blood, for actual. I actually have studied [Drake’s] catalog. There’s a few those who I actually think about big strands of my musical DNA, and Drake is certainly one of them,” he defined.

Is he gonna make it?’ So I needed to go along with what was probably the most positive shot.”
