The “God’s Plan” hitmaker only dropped Scorpion in June but teased
fans that he plans to head straight back into the studio after he has
a “little break,” following his joint ”Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour”
with the trap trio, which wraps up on Nov. 18, 2018, in Atlanta.
The 32-year-old rapper told the crowd at his show at Rogers Place in
Edmonton, Canada, on Wednesday night Nov. 7, 2018: “Okay, six shows
left. I guess, you know, I guess, I’m gonna tell you what I’m going
to do. Because I keep having nights like this that remind me why I
love my job so much, I promise you that as soon as this tour is over
and maybe I take a little break, I’m gonna get right to work on a new
album so we can be back right here in Edmonton and have a new party.”
The “Nice For What” hitmaker has completed his contract with Cash
Money Records, as he revealed on the song “Is There More”: “Soon as
the album drop, I’m out of the deal.”
Meanwhile, Drake recently admitted fatherhood has taught him about
“patience” and “unconditional love.”
The “In My Feelings” hitmaker gushed over his baby Adonis — who he
has with French artist Sophie Brussaux — and how he feels so lucky to
be able to experience fatherhood.
He said: “[He has] crazy blue eyes – baby blue eyes. He’s already in
the pool shooting the basketball. I’m just excited. All of the things
I’ve learned from and through my father and the incredible things I’ve
learned through my mother about patience, about unconditional love.”
Drake confirmed he had been “hiding the world” from his “kid” on Scorpion. In “Emotionless,” which samples Mariah Carey, he revealed: “I wasn’t hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid. Breakin’ news in my life I don’t run to the blogs, the only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call.”
And in “March 14,” he pays homage to Michael Jackson’s track “Billie
Jean,” describing his relationship with Brussaux, while referencing his
mother, Sandi Graham.
He raps: “She’s not my lover like Billie Jean but the kid is mine. Sandi used to tell me all it takes it one time, and all it took was
one time.
“S—, we only met two times, two times. I used to challenge my parents on every album, now I’m embarrassed to tell them I ended up as a co-parent. Always promised the family unit, I wanted it to be different because I’ve been through it.”
