Drake and Camila Cabello recently took a trip to Turks & Caicos, sparking dating rumors after footage of them jet skiing together went viral on social media. However, what they were really up to was making music.
Drake will be featured on two tracks of Camila Cabello’s upcoming album, C,XOXO. She shared this exciting news in a recent interview with Billboard, where she fondly recalled their time creating music during the trip.
“He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars,” Camila said, explaining how she initially reached out to Drake via Instagram. “I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a nontransactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”
Camila added that Drake wanted to do something extra for the album. “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album … I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”
The collaboration news comes after Cabello discussed the trip with Drake on the Call Her Daddy podcast. “I love him so much and I really listened to him a lot during my writing process for my album,” she noted. “And I really felt like he would like my album.”
Camila has been promoting the album for several months, and apart from Drake, it will also feature Playboi Carti, Lil Nas X, and the City Girls. The album is set to release on June 28.
So, while the internet buzzed with dating rumors, Camila Cabello and Drake were actually busy making music magic together. Keep an ear out for C,XOXO dropping soon.
