No one will humble you like a best friend, and Drake learned that during his recent chat with Lil Yachty. The pair have been friends for quite some time, even collaborating on wax. Unsurprisingly, the two came together for an intimate conversation, giving fans a peek into what it may be like between them behind the scenes. Drake discussed his thoughts on retirement and choosing to (now) refrain from including his ex-girlfriends’ names in his music. There was one portion that had fans laughing, and it was all about Drake’s age.
Drizzy turned 36 years old last October, and it seems to have ushered in a new era. “I just left 35, right? And it’s like—” Drake said before Yachty interrupted with, “Yeah, you’re gettin’ up there.” It was all jokes, but the interjection caught the OVO icon off guard. “Well. Alright, um, but uh…” stumbled Drake as he tried to find the proper response. While he was thinking, Yachty added, “Just sayin’.”
Yachty Predicts Drake’s Limping Future
Then, Drake told 25-year-old Yachty he couldn’t wait until he “gets old as f*ck.” Yachty wasn’t worried. “By the time I’m old as f*ck, you’re gonna be old as f*ck. You’re gonna be in a cane,” said the “Poland” hitmaker. “Using a cane.” At this point, the friends are talking over one another. Drake added, “First of all, I’ll be 10 years older than you. Still dripped out.”
Yachty predicted that because Drake plays so much basketball, he’ll surely be cane bound in the future. Drizzy dismissed it before aiming once again at Yachty’s age. “I get it, I was there,” said Drake about his 20s. Yachty roped him into the category of people who say, “30 is the new sexy.” Drake laughed and denied that was what he trying to say.
Lil Yachty Talks Longstanding Friendship With Drake
Earlier this month, Yachty caught up with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to discuss his latest project, Let’s Start Here. He also addressed his friendship with Drake. “Shout to Drake, man. I love him to death. Yeah, that’s my guy, man,” he said. “Our relationship has just grown… At this point, I feel so close to him. I feel like whatever he does, I did it. If he wins something, I feel like I just won. He’s really, really smart. no matter how much he’ll act like he’s oblivious to his career and the things that he’s done, he knows what certain things and certain moments in his career mean to people.”
