The news came as a surprise to excited Nigerians as they heard that Drizzy did one on Wizkid's Track Ojuelegba. A song that wasn't even a major hit in its country of recording. Well drake was asked why he did the recording on that particular track which came with an instagram follow for wizkid. He had this to say
‘I just did it because I was in the moment,’ he says. ‘I wasn’t thinking like, ‘Oh man, I gotta get my brand up in Nigeria. Not to say that’s not important. I’m super-honored to be on that song.’.
Drake also revealed that he first heard the song through Skepta and that Ojuelegba was so remarkable it forced him to do one on it. Skepta who was thanked multiple times by wizkid for paving the way had this to say about the remix.
‘Drake had to rap in a way he’s never rapped before, to the extent that it takes him a couple of bars to find the swing of the beat. As soon as he does find it (it happens right as he’s singing Pree me, dem a pree me, Jamaican patois for ‘they’re watching me’) his vocals and the music click into place, and suddenly the song sounds like it could be a stateside hit.’…
