Drake and Lil Wayne have had a long and fruitful friendship.
As Drake explained during his chat with Lil Yachty (and has explained before) the relationship got off to a weird start when Wayne misunderstood what Drake’s name was.
“My email was [email protected],” Drake revealed. “Rogers is the service provider in Canada. Wayne thought that — he didn’t realize at that time that the @ in the email was like a middle, interference. So he just thought my name was Drizzy Drake Rogers.”
In fact, Wayne uses that name in their 2008 collab “Ransom.”
“And I think his name was kinda like “Drake Drizzy Rogers” / Or “Drizzy Drake Rogers,” I’m too busy to play father / And when it comes to the game, I’m too willing to play harder,” Wayne raps.
“I mean, he rapped it once,” Drake continued. “I didn’t have the heart to correct him… God bless his heart.”
