On the musical side of things, despite their close touring and personal relationship, Drake and Pi’erre Bourne haven't collaborated much. Moreover, the first thing that fans might think of is the couple of the rapper-producer's tracks that Drizzy was going to be on that never came to be. Also, there's the Pi’erre-produced "Pain 1993" featuring Playboi Carti on the OVO mogul's Dark Lane Demo Tapes project. However, they still look out for each other, and the Kansas-born artist joined the Canadian superstar on the "Boy Meets World" tour in Australia and New Zealand back in 2017. Not only that, but Drake actually helped him get his passport.

"With Drake, when we was on tour, that was cool," Pi’erre Bourne remarked during an interview at Coachella this year. "'Boy Meets World' tour, that was awesome. We went to Australia and New Zealand. So he actually showed me the world early on, fresh off the couch, my friend's couch. He got me my passport, like, Drake helped me get my passport again so, yeah." Some friends don't just pay for your flight; they can help you take one anywhere, too.

Pi’erre Bourne Recalls Touring With Drake

What's more is that Pi’erre Bourne is far from the only rapper to have received help from the 6 God. French Montana recently shouted him out for helping him produce his documentary. "Shout out to Drake for helping me do it," he remarked. "Shout out to Puff. Shout out to Max B for letting them cameras come inside that maximum security prison and helping me document it. Shout out to my mother. She never been on nothing. That was her first one and it just shows that me, her and my father came here not even speaking English and it shows that your temporary moment doesn’t have nothing to do with your long-term."

Meanwhile, the "IG" MC and beatsmith has been on plenty of tours since "Boy Meets World." In fact, he has a few upcoming dates in May playing in Houston, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.
