Drake calls out DJ Khaled for falsely claiming collaborations on upcoming album
A public rift has emerged between Canadian rapper Drake and renowned producer DJ Khaled after Drake dismissed claims that he would be featured on Khaled’s upcoming album.
The controversy began when DJ Khaled excited fans by announcing that his new project would include two tracks featuring Drake. However, the OVO rapper quickly shut down the claim with a cryptic social media comment: “Must be Drake Bell.”
The remark, referencing the former Nickelodeon actor and musician Drake Bell, sparked widespread speculation that Drake was denying any involvement in Khaled’s album.
Following the backlash, DJ Khaled swiftly deleted his initial post, further fueling questions about whether there had been a misunderstanding or if the producer had prematurely hyped a collaboration that was never confirmed.
The exchange has left fans divided—some believe Khaled may have been trying to stir excitement for his project, while others wonder if last-minute issues prevented Drake’s appearance. Despite their history of successful collaborations, including *Greece* and *Popstar*, this latest fallout has cast doubt on their current working relationship.
As neither party has provided further clarification, fans are left speculating about what truly transpired behind the scenes.
