Lil Yachty manifested his working relationship with Drake.
Yachty and his Concrete Boys collective stopped by PlaqueBoyMax‘s stream recently and was asked by the popular streamer how his and Drake’s working relationship came about.
“I manifested it, bro,” he answered after he included the Toronto rapper on a list of some of the most talented people he’s worked with, alongside Tyler, The Creator and Juice WRLD. “I was doing acid one night and I was like, ‘Man, I would really love to work with Drake. That’s one of my favorite rappers.’ I was just talking to the abyss. I was speaking to, like, a higher power, and I manifested it. I did. This was years ago. This was before we ever did anything.”
He added that they followed each other on social media before becoming close friends and collaborators. “He followed me, we was cool. We was on Finsta together and it was cool. But, like, I wanted to have a relationship,” he admitted. “That’s one of my best friends. Manifestation is real. I manifested getting on, becoming famous, becoming a rapper. All this sh– is manifestation. You gotta speak this sh– into existence. I’ll never forget, I used to be in high school and Tyler and Rocky used to FaceTime me.”
Drake and the Atlanta rapper first linked up in 2020 for the latter’s song “Oprah’s Bank Account,” with Yachty contributing to both Her Loss and For All the Dogs as a featured artist, writer and producer.
