Drake REPLIES To Rod Wave’s Reasoning For Not Getting On “Lemon Pepper Freestyle”

Drake has responded to Rod Wave‘s explanation as to why he didn’t end up being featured on the Toronto rapper’s “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.”

Wave was the original feature on the 2021 track, but after deciding he didn’t like his verse on the Scary Hours 2 record, he ended up pulling himself off the record. Drake eventually pivoted and got Rick Ross on the joint which ended up peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.

I can respect him for his choice and being honest about it. It says a lot about him.

[younggod]

It was the right move. Ross did his thing on that song

[CFish-N-Cars]

He was trying his best to stay in that chair. Bless his heart

[blizock]

You have to love rod for this honestly Because it meant so much to him to he pulled it much respect.

[AybeeFrmCt]

Wave struggling wit that chair bro😂 lookin hella uncomfortable

[SCpoint]

Respect that he kept it a buck, but damn... when opportunity knocks...

[iNeedMoney]

We gotta hear that unreleased verse tho ‼️

[realting]

Yes I can respect his decision he looks up to Drake so when it came time to make music and he wanted it to be perfect and he just didn't want to put out something that he would regret later

[antonioartemus]

I’m ngl he would have not snapped on lemon pepper freestyle so he made the right decision and ima rod fan

[Kemiskurio]

Drake murdered that track… bro there is nothing He could have done on it to stand out… when drake start we forget Rick Ross on it and that’s Rick Ross 🥲🥲

[sherritaylor]

I love Drake and I love Rod Wave! I think that although both of them have a very unique style, a collaboration from them has the potential to be so dope! That heart on ice was THE BANGER! I'm sure Rod Wave can apply himself and maybe in the future they can make that happen.🙏🏽❤💪🏾

[SayWhat]

Rod Wave needs to go on Rick Ross weight loss program

[itsrealkenna]

Rod is the kind of success story that encourages me as a underground artist with a small following. Seeing how he’s developed his skills and slowly blown up after seizing each and every opportunity he’s been giving has been inspirational! Mans has quickly become a mainstay in the industry and for good reason. Dude is too nice! I know if I put in the work, I can reach a larger audience some day too, but for now, I’m happy being a supporter. My turn will come too. Salute to Rod Wave🔥

[NB-eivr]

😂😂😂Rod literally struggling to breathe with that pot belly

[elonnelson]

Sht Drake said h e respected it so maybe another shot will come back around. At the end of the day he stayed true to himself and his morals. Hopefully he out grew it because he's ready.

'' You feel me? '' the legendary adlip. Reall Rod Wave fans know what i'm talking about

[aadammohammed]

Rod wave got mad talented but he's too much new school to see it shine. The new generation is to focused on putting on 25 track stinkers witg one banger every 4 months just for streaming numbers. They aren't honing their craft and trying to create classics like the older generation and ultimately they'll be forgotten and lose their chance to create a legacy

[andreakirkland]

absolutely i respect his decision and anxiety and fear is real ! he will come into his own eventually he’s still adjusting to coming from a small town in florida to the whole work screaming his name ! i’m from the same city has rod and i felt this ! but soon he will get it ! love ya Rod

[kashkapri]

Prolly was the right move but on the other hand could've been the record that boosted everything

[n_imperial_]

get that man a more comfortable chair!
