Yung Miami says Drake left her on read after she asked him to join the remix of her hit Spend Dat. The rapper discussed it in an interview with Nessa Diab on Hot 97 this week.
"Drake left me on read. I'm like, 'Drake, what did I do?' I love Drake...
Just tell me no. I'm good with the no, but leaving me on read is like, what?" she said, calling him Champagne Papi and Iceman and joking that he needed to pick up the phone. No such remix featuring Drake has ever appeared.
The official Spend Dat remix instead features Kodak Black and Lil Baby, and reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. She also successfully recruited Vybz Kartel and Shenseea for an international remix of the popular track.
The original song is platinum certified and gave her a strong solo moment after her successful years with City Girls. However, industry watchers note that this is not the first time she has experienced radio silence from the Canadian superstar on collaboration ideas.
Yung Miami previously told Cam Newton on his Funky Friday podcast in June that she messaged Drake about hopping on Take Me to Chanel, an unreleased track. His response on that occasion was only a like on the message rather than a direct reply.
Despite the lack of a positive response, she stayed completely good-natured about the lack of a reply and maintained her admiration for him. "I just respect Drake.
Drake is Drake, period," she said during the candid interview session. "I've always been a Drake fan, always gave him his flowers, personally love Drake, never rode the hate train," she added, emphasizing that her respect for his musical genius remains completely unconditional.
The two artists have actually worked together before, most notably on City Girls' massive hit track In My Feelings, which proved their chemistry in the recording studio was quite effective. Meanwhile, Drake has been exceptionally busy with his own Iceman run and various business ventures this year, which might explain why he is taking longer to respond to text messages from peers.
Music critics and fans alike have reacted with amusement to her public callout, noting that it highlights the casual yet competitive nature of modern music collaborations and social media communication. As Yung Miami continues to push her solo career forward with high-profile features and chart success, fans are still hoping that Drake might eventually surprise everyone and jump on one of her future tracks.
