Overview
- Yung Miami, who released her solo debut Watch Dis on Friday, told Hot 97 that she messaged Drake about joining a remix of her summer hit “Spend Dat” and that he left her on read.
- Drake ultimately did not appear on the official remix, which instead features Kodak Black and Lil Baby while the original solo version peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100.
- Miami said she still respects Drake and would prefer a clear refusal over being ignored, saying she understands why he might be selective about features at this stage in his career.
- This was not her first attempt to land a Drake verse; she previously said she DM'd him in June about another track and that he was then ‘going through’ personal and industry issues.
- The exchange highlights how a single high-profile feature can shape a song’s cultural reach given Drake’s past boost for City Girls in 2018, and it leaves Miami to lean on other collaborators and international remixes to sustain her album’s visibility.
