Drake

Lil Yachty

<p>It isn&#8217;t easy finding long-lasting friendships in the industry, but<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/433258-lil-yachty-shows-off-new-ovo-owl-tattoo-drake-cosigns-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Drake and Lil Yachty</a> are as thick as thieves. They&#8217;ve partied, collaborated, and been inspired by one another, and Yachty told Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 about his growing friendship with the OVO icon. &#8220;Shout out to <a href="/profile/Drake" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Drake</a>, man. I love him to death,&#8221; said the &#8220;Poland&#8221; hitmaker. &#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s my guy, man… Our relationship has just grown.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;I had a conversation with him and was just telling him, &#8216;Man, this music that you made over this time period has affected so many people.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Man, I remember there was a point in time when you were about to release music, and everyone was like, man, I&#8217;m about to call my ex. Like, oh man, I&#8217;m finna cry.&#8217; That was a time period. And that&#8217;s when people thought when Drake was finna drop, you thought like, &#8216;Oh man, I&#8217;m about to get back with my ex-girlfriend.&#8217; You felt like, emotions were about to be pulled out of you.&#8221;</p>

<p>Revisiting those moments in Drizzy drop history made Yachty want to return to that feeling. &#8220;I was like, &#8216;Man, we got to get back on that. You got to get back on that.&#8217; At this point, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/254023-oprah-reacts-to-lil-yachty-drake-and-dababy-song-oprahs-bank-account-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">I feel so close to him.</a> I feel like whatever he does, I did it. If he wins something, I feel like I just won. He&#8217;s really, really smart. No matter how much he&#8217;ll act like he&#8217;s oblivious to his career and the things that he&#8217;s done, he knows what certain things and certain moments in his career mean to people.&#8221;</p>



<p>Elsewhere during his chat with Lowe, Yachty explained his new artistic endeavor. We previously reported that he created a girl group, and now he detailed the inspiration behind working with women. &#8220;<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/619569-lil-yachty-is-looking-for-an-all-women-band">I have an all girl band.</a> Yeah. I just wanted to show how sick women can rap,&#8221; said Yachty. &#8220;I feel like…I was just in rehearsal yesterday. I just feel like women don&#8217;t get as much respect as men when it comes to the music industry. So I was like, &#8216;These songs are pretty badass, and I want to show women playing them.&#8217; They didn&#8217;t make it, but I want to show they can do it, not better. So that was my vision.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I haven&#8217;t toured in five years, so I am dying to see people care to see me and hear me because I haven&#8217;t been on stage since I was like 19, 20. I haven&#8217;t toured since I was like 19 years old, before I was 21.&#8221; Check out Lil Yachty and Zane Lowe above.</p>
