You my friend are from another planet. [I] Listen to you like a religious experience, - Drake said in a private message sent to the musician.

DRAKE'S LOVE FOR SOUTH AFRICAN MUSICIANS Drizzy Drake has proven more than any other international rapper that he is a fan of South African music, specifically house music and amapiano.

Besides his fruitful bromance with fellow Grammy-awarding producer DJ Black Coffee - which gave birth to his 2022 album titled Honestly, Never mind, produced by the South African musican - Drake has also co-signed Uncle Waffles.
