Blueface on Why Drake Never Did Song with Him, Cardi B Doing Thotiana Remix

In a recent interview, rapper Blueface shed light on why a collaboration with Drake, despite initial interest, never came to fruition. Drake reportedly DM’d Blueface early on, calling him “the next big thing” and even had a beat ready for both. However, Blueface believes the project stalled due to timing, label dynamics, and Drake’s potential interest in signing him rather than collaborating musically, especially since Blueface later signed with Cash Money, Drake’s label family. Blueface also reflected on his breakout hit “Thotiana,” which nearly hit half a billion streams. He admitted he didn’t initially realize the song’s huge potential but credits Cardi B’s remix feature for truly propelling it to mainstream success. “That feature changed my life,” he said, praising Cardi’s verse for taking the track over the top. Since then, Blueface has seen his career and finances soar, now touring with Lil Baby and embracing newfound stability.
