The ever-energetic DJ Khaled recently made waves with an exciting announcement about his upcoming album, ‘Aalam of God,’ featuring not one but two collaborations with Drake. However, the fanfare turned puzzling when Drake’s unexpected response suggested a hiccup in communication.
On February 4, DJ Khaled dropped a trailer for his much-anticipated 14th studio album, ‘Aalam of God.’ This teaser not only highlighted big names like Anthony Ramos and Mark Wahlberg but also hinted at the enigmatic presence of Drake on two tracks. With Khaled’s typical flair, he compared his upcoming work to JAY-Z’s ‘The Black Album,’ stating, “This not my last album, this my black album.”
Intriguingly, Khaled added, “FYI… DRAKE’S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH [2] DRAKES ! … NEW ALBUM 2025 AALAM OF GOD!” He even teased a potential Rihanna collaboration, exciting fans even more. But the plot thickened when Drake entered the scene.
Drake’s response was both confusing and humorous. In the comment section, he simply wrote, ‘Must be @drakebell,’ referring to TV personality Drake Bell. This unexpected twist raised eyebrows and suggested a possible misunderstanding between the two.
Following Drake’s comment, Khaled swiftly deleted his post. The sudden removal sparked curiosity about the true nature of their collaboration. He subsequently shared a new video featuring a studio session with JAY-Z and Timbaland, reinforcing his ‘Black Album’ analogy.
The idea of ‘two Drakes’ isn’t new. It originated in September 2023 when Khaled joined Drake on stage during the ‘Its All a Blur Tour.’ Back then, Khaled boldly carried a sign that read, ‘I have 2 Drake songs on my new album — coming 2024.’
DJ Khaled and Drake have a rich history of collaborations. They previously teamed up on hits like ‘Popstar,’ ‘Greece,’ ‘No New Friends,’ and ‘I’m On One.’ Their partnership dates back to the early 2010s, consistently delivering chart-topping tracks. The excitement for new collaborations was therefore well-founded.
Nevertheless, the recent turn of events has left fans wondering if we’ll still hear these much-anticipated tracks. With Khaled’s announcement now in the past, the air is thick with speculation about what’s coming next.
While DJ Khaled’s announcement about the ‘two Drakes’ stirred excitement, Drake’s reply added a layer of mystery to the whole affair. Fans are left wondering about the true status of this collaboration. Both artists have yet to clarify the situation, keeping everyone on their toes.
