Blueface Talks Drake Collaboration, 'Thotiana' Success, and Career Growth
In a recent interview, rapper Blueface discussed why a potential collaboration with Drake never materialized despite initial interest. Drake had reached out to Blueface early on, praising him as "the next big thing" and even had a beat prepared for them to work on together. However, Blueface believes the collaboration didn't come to fruition due to timing issues, label dynamics, and Drake's potential interest in signing him to his label instead of just collaborating musically. Blueface later signed with Cash Money, which is part of Drake's label family.
Blueface also talked about his breakout hit "Thotiana," which garnered nearly half a billion streams. He admitted that he didn't initially realize the song's massive potential but credited Cardi B's remix feature for catapulting it to mainstream success. Blueface acknowledged that Cardi's verse on the remix was a game-changer and significantly contributed to the song's success. Following the remix, Blueface's career and financial situation have seen significant growth, with him now touring alongside Lil Baby and enjoying newfound stability.
