Keith Sweat shared praise for Drake while speaking with TMZ at LAX over the weekend. Following the release of the Toronto rapper's new album, For All The Dogs, Sweat explained that Drake is winning in all genres.
"My son is a big Drake fan. I mean, I am a fan too. I haven't heard nothing yet, I heard he's dropping it. That's the news right now," Sweat began. When asked whether Drake takes the R&B crown as well as rap, Sweat added: "You can't take nothing from him. I'm a fan. He does his thing vocally, musically, and does his rap thing." He then noted the freedom artists have to experiment with varying genres in today's generation. "He's hitting all genres. You gotta give him his flowers. Who put the limitation on who you can be in what area?" Sweat concluded by congratulating Drake on the new album.
