After some footage of Drake sitting in front of a mic while Fetty Wap’s “My Way” played sparingly in the background surfaced, Drake liberated his official version of the remix on Tuesday night to Soundcloud — only one day removed from the video surfacing. After releasing the buzz worthy single, Fetty stopped by The FADER’s office to chop it up about the major co-sign.
Fetty said:
“He sent me a DM, and I sent him my number. When I landed from Tampa a couple of days ago, and as soon as I landed and turned my phone off of airplane mode, he was FaceTiming from DC where he was playing ‘My Way’ at a club. He was like, ‘Yo, I want to cut the record tonight.’ Next thing I know, I checked my email and it was there.”
Fetty even went on to say this about Drake and his humbleness:
“The thing I respect about Drake the most is that he’s not one of them artists that take his status and just do what he want with it. He has the status to just do anybody’s track, if he really wants to. I’m just a nobody compared to Drake, and he still actually asked me, ‘Is it cool if I do a remix?’ And even the way he said it—more like, ‘Can I bless it?’ He was thanking me for putting him on the remix, and I’m trying to tell him like, ‘No, thank you. You don’t understand what you’re doing for me.’ He’s definitely a very, very, very, very humble person.”
Although the two have a single out together, the two still have yet to meet up w/ each other. But I’m sure this will get the ball rolling.
