“When I saw Drake in this restaurant, we walked up to each other, and there was this moment.”
Comeback king Craig David has claimed he met Toronto rap allstar Drake at a restaurant – and Drake said he would be keen to work on a collaboration with the classic UK garage MC.
“When I saw Drake in this restaurant, we walked up to each other and there was this moment. I was like, ‘Oh man [Hotline Bling] is all I’m listening to.'” he claimed on BBC 1Xtra. “And he was like, ‘Man I need to call my producer, if I can tell him right now that I’m with you, Born To Do It! The tunes you have.’ And this was kicking off.”
“When the time is right, when it’s really right, and there’s the Craig David/Drake mixtape, I promise you, not on a ‘Get gas, beg a man to be on his record’ kind of thing, because he’s the hottest thing right now.” he continued. “But he’d easily be like, ‘Yeah man I want to do that.’”
Drake is already firm friends with another UK MC – his friendship with former Crack cover star Skepta is even permanently etched onto his skin. See Drake’s BBK tattoo here. We hope he doesn’t get jealous.
We also chatted to Craig recently for our Turning Points feature. See that here.
