Drizzy shouted out his "mentor" for "the best burger [he's] ever had."

Bun B's legendary status in the game just got a new representative in addition to his incredible discography: the best burger you'll ever have. Moreover, that's how the Houston legend promotes his restaurant Trill Burgers in the city, which has seen a whole lot of success. Most recently, the location welcomed a distinguished guest who calls the 50-year-old MC his mentor and brother. Drake pulled up to the burger joint and affirmed that it was, indeed, a fantastic meal, even taking the time to post about it on his Instagram Story for his followers to know about it and go if they're in the Houston area.

Of course, this isn't the first time that a current rap giant has shouted out the shoulders that they stand on's restaurant. For example, a clip went viral earlier in the year of Bun B chopping it up with Tyler, The Creator and giving him the Trill Burgers experience. Not only was it quite the surreal link-up for hip-hop fans, but the Hawthorne, California native also agreed that it was a great burger. If you didn't already know about Trill Burgers, at least now you have a spot to hit up if you're in Houston.

Furthermore, Drake and Bun B go way back, sharing a couple of collaborations and having a lot of respect for each other since the 6 God's career began, with Bun being one of his earliest advocates. In fact, the UGK pioneer labeled the Canadian superstar a top ten artist in the game back in 2019. "In terms of lyricism?” he asked Billboard while speaking on So Far Gone's 10-year anniversary. “Impact, delivery- a lot of people who are in the top 10 had ghostwriters as well. I want to say he’s top 10. There will be very few artists who will ever be as impactful as Drake is. Game-changing. Someone that literally has consistently increased, and there hasn’t been a decline in music from him yet. The music keeps getting better, and it’s always ahead of the curve."

"He may jump on the remix of a hot record, but he’s not trying to do musically what everyone else is doing," he continued. "It’s always a different approach, but then he can also come back and do something and incorporate the New Orleans sound and not seem like he’s being a cultural appropriator. He can incorporate some Houston elements without being a cultural appropriator. It’s a beautiful way of being an artist and a fan, and being able to express both of those."
