Drake will be making two appearances on Camila Cabello‘s upcoming album, C,XOXO, she revealed in a new interview with Billboard. Speaking about the collaboration, she reflected on working on the music during a trip to Turks & Caicos with the Toronto rapper. Footage of the two riding jet skis together during the trip previously went viral on social media, leading to speculation that they were dating.
“He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” she said, recalling how she messaged him on Instagram. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.” She added: “He wanted to do one more thing for the album. Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”
