Drake took to Instagram to share praises for his mentor Lil Wayne, thanking him and calling him the “most selfless artist ever.”

“This man believed in me after so many never called again or just didn’t see it to begin with,” Drizzy wrote on the Instagram post. “Most selfless artist ever never held any of us back always pushed us forward every single night in people faces 20k packed into an arena and he had a whole set of his show dedicated to introducing us FOR YEARS…all praise and credit due to the GOAT.”

The comment was made on a post from TIDAL Chief Content Officer Elliot Wilson that showed a video of Tunechi telling the story of his first meeting with Drake. “As far as Drizzy — Drizzy was always just a knockout from the door,” he said, also noting his surprise when he found out the OVO head was from Canada and once appeared on Degrassi. “I’m honored he even chose me as an option.”

Elsewhere in music, Barack Obama added Drake, Frank Ocean, J. Cole and more to his Summer 2020 playlist.
