Drake Rocks Toronto Raptors Gear as He Wishes Fans a Happy Canada Day
July 1 is Canada Day, and Drake is celebrating his home country with a social media message to fans.
“Happy Canada Day,” he said on his Instagram Stories, wearing a Toronto Raptors T-shirt, before lifting up a cocktail. “Cheers to the whole country.”
He also shared a post captioned: “Custom design fine rhymes into salary. All the way from T-Dot to the Van City all stars.”
Drake recently appeared on two tracks on Camila Cabello’s recently released album, C,XOXO: “Hot Uptown” and “Uuugly.”
Cabello opened up about collaborating with Drizzy in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, noting that it all started in the DMs. “I feel like, at least from what I know of myself, I feel like we’re musically aligned in a lot of ways,” she said of herself and Drake. “I think we have a lot of the same taste, and lyrically as well. I actually slid into his DMs too, and I was like, ‘I’ve been listening to you so much for this album,’ a lot of the wordplay and my aspiration for bars.”
She continued, “I DMed him and then I played him my album and he f—d with it. I sent the idea for ‘Hot Uptown,’ and I wrote my part. I sent it back to him, and we chopped it to it felt like a duet. Then when he re-worked on his parts again, he gave me an outro which was the ‘UUUgly part,’” she recalled.
