Drake To Make Two Appearances On New Camila Cabello Album After DM Exchange

Drake is set to make two cameos on Camila Cabello‘s next album, and it’s all thanks to some brave DMs from the pop singer.

Billboard profiled the “I LUV IT” hitmaker for a story published on Wednesday (May 29), in which she revealed how she got Drizzy to star on her forthcoming C,XOXO project.

During her interview, she explained that footage of them riding jet skis together in Turks & Caicos was during a recording session and not part of a romantic fling.

“He’s the fucking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” she said, before recalling that 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.”

The track was finished in Turks & Caicos, after which the 6 God reportedly continued crooning over synths for two minutes on an interlude titled “Uuugly.”

“He wanted to do one more thing for the album,” Cabello explained. “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 shit.”

It was back in December that Drizzy and Cabello first began getting attention from the paparazzi, though it now turns out that the duo were just collaborating on the “Shameless” singer’s new album.

Pop Crave obtained and shared footage of the pair hanging out at Noah’s Ark Beach Club, one of Drake’s favorite Caribbean hangouts.

In the social media post from the Turks and Caicos, the two could be seen riding jet skis together in addition to chatting and laughing on a boat in a brief clip from the same meet-up.

The Canadian superstar reportedly started following the 26-year-old singer over spring, after she shared a mirror selfie online and quoted his song “Search & Rescue” in the caption: “Take me out the Club. Take me out the Trap. Take me off the market. Take me off the map. I’m trying to hit the group chat and tell them it’s a wrap.”
