Drake Speaks On Why He Jumped On Wizkid’s 'Ojuelegba' remix!
In his cover story for the 100th issue of FADER Magazine Drake speaks for the first time about why he jumped on the surprise remix of Wizkid's Ojuelegba a few
months back.
He told the magazine
"I just did it because I was in the moment. I wasn't
thinking like, 'Oh man, I gotta get my brand up in
Nigeria.'" Not to say that's not important. I'm super-
honored to be on that song.
He also sets the record straight about those Meek Mill
ghost writing allegations and his beef with the rapper!
On The Rap Beef with Meek Mill, which started after
Meek accused him of using a ghostwriter
It was weighing heavy on me
This is a discussion about music, and no one's putting forth
any music? Nobody told you that this was a bad idea, to
engage in this and not have something?
I didn't get it. I didn't get how there was no strategy on
the opposite end. I just didn't understand. I didn't
understand it because that's just not how we operate.
Does he use ghostwriters?
I need, sometimes, individuals to spark an idea so that I
can take off running. I don't mind that. And those
recordings-they are what they are. And you can use your
own judgment on what they mean to you. If I have to be
the vessel for this conversation to be brought up-you know,
God forbid we start talking about writing and references
and who takes what from where — I'm OK with it being
me.
It's just, music at times can be a collaborative process, you
know? Who came up with this, who came up with that-
for me, it's like, I know that it takes me to execute every
single thing that I've done up until this point. And I'm not
ashamed.
