Roommates, get excited for the latest Valentine’s Day update! Drake is back in action, fulfilling his promise to fans by releasing fresh tracks from the studio. He has teamed up with fellow Canadian rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR to deliver a highly anticipated collaborative album titled ‘$ome $sexy $songs 4 U.’ This new collection features an impressive 21 tracks and is strategically timed to coincide with Valentine’s Day celebrations, ensuring it resonates with listeners looking for romantic vibes.
The release comes just days after Drake’s rap rival, Kendrick Lamar, delivered a stunning performance of the diss track ‘Not Like Us’ during the Super Bowl halftime show, attracting millions of viewers. While Drizzy has not publicly commented on Kendrick’s performance, which has become the most-watched halftime show in history, it seems he may be subtly responding through his album ‘$ome $sexy $songs 4 U.’

Drake Expresses Gratitude to 21 Savage for Unwavering Support
Following Kendrick’s high-profile performance, celebrities like Boosie and Marlon Wayans have mentioned Drake in their reactions. Boosie raised questions about the loyalty of those Drake has previously collaborated with, while Wayans made a light-hearted suggestion for Drake to check in on his friend after Lamar’s pointed comments implying Drake’s alleged romantic interests. Amidst this backdrop, Drake has taken a moment to acknowledge 21 Savage, crediting him for his steadfast support during turbulent times in their lives and careers. In the track ‘Gimme A Hug,’ he expresses heartfelt appreciation for Savage’s friendship.
“Savage you the only n*a checking on me when we really in some sh*t, brudda,” Drake rapped, highlighting their bond and the importance of having genuine friends in the music industry.
Regarding the ongoing rap disputes, including the one with Kendrick Lamar, it appears Drake is adopting a carefree attitude. He confidently asserts on the same track, “They be dropping sh*t, but we be dropping harder sht/ Fk a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit.” This statement reflects his desire to focus on creating music that brings people together rather than getting caught up in conflicts.
Drake Calls Out Melyssa Ford Amid Ongoing Tensions with Joe Budden
In the wake of expressing gratitude towards 21 Savage, Drake’s lyrics take a sharp turn as he calls out the iconic video vixen Melyssa Ford. Currently, she co-hosts Joe Budden’s popular podcast, and given the history of tension between Drake and Budden, this mention adds fuel to the fire. In the track ‘Gimme A Hug,’ he references Melyssa’s association with Budden, implying a conflict based on their professional ties.
“Melyssa Ford, you a legend from The 6 hate to see you with a dk sucker,” Drizzy rapped, showcasing his feelings about her collaboration with Budden.
As of now, neither Melyssa nor Joe Budden have publicly responded to Drake’s pointed comments in ‘Gimme A Hug.’ Nevertheless, Budden has previously shared some heated remarks aimed at Drake, particularly in response to alleged posts from Drake’s burner Instagram account. During his podcast, Budden stated,
“Drake, don’t shoot at me now that you’re ice cold. I’m not doing the back-and-forth with a corpse. Don’t go get shot all through the year, and then pop up like Bernie at ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ wanting to shoot at me now. No n*a. Go spin. Spin the fking block,”
making it clear that he’s not interested in engaging further.
In the meantime, PARTYNEXTDOOR has yet to address Drake’s comments made in ‘Gimme A Hug.’ Fans can now listen to the complete album ‘$ome $sexy $songs 4 U,’ which is available across all major streaming platforms.
