Yung Miami tells Drake to stop the OVO remix drama
The world of music is a complicated landscape of dreams, collaborations, and sometimes, a little bit of digital silence. For rapper Yung Miami, the recent launch of her solo debut album, Watch Dis, brought a spotlight to both massive chart success and the often-awkward realities of celebrity communication.
While promoting the album, Miami opened up about a recent exchange with one of hip-hop’s biggest names, Drake. The story isn’t about a chart-topping hit, but about a missed message—a moment that perfectly encapsulates the unpredictable nature of navigating the industry. When Miami reached out to Drake for a feature on her platinum-certified summer anthem, “Spend Dat,” she was hoping for a collaborative moment. Instead, she was left on read.
The reaction was candid and humorous. Miami shared her feeling, expressing the frustration while still maintaining a respectful distance. “Drake left me on read, I don’t know,” she admitted. She laughed, recalling the internal monologue: “I’m like, ‘Drake, what did I do?’ I love Drake. I f–king love Drake,” she said. She stressed that while she respects Drake deeply and has always supported his career, dealing with the pressures of the industry means understanding that others have their own focus.
This anecdote is not an isolated incident. Miami has a history of connecting with Drake through music, demonstrating a long-standing relationship with the OVO artist. Previously, she had messaged Drake regarding a track titled “Take Me to Chanel,” which eventually found its way onto her debut album, featuring collaborations with artists like Quavo and G Herbo.
The dynamic between the two artists is clearly built on mutual respect, even when communication hits a snag. Miami reflected that when navigating the pressures of fame, understanding that other artists are dealing with their own challenges is crucial. She acknowledged the industry reality: “When you go through things in the industry, that sh-t’ll make you look at everybody differently.”
The successful music surrounding Miami’s debut showcased the power of collective creativity. The “Spend Dat” remix saw high-profile additions, featuring names like Kodak Black and Lil Baby, alongside international talent such as Vybz Kartel and Shenseea. This remix reached the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 17.
From their earlier connection in 2018, when Drake provided a boost to the City Girls’ presence on Scorpion, to the current collaborations, Yung Miami has consistently demonstrated her place in the music scene. Her Watch Dis debut, with guest appearances from artists like Rick Ross, Travis Scott, and Bryson Tiller, cemented her position while weaving a narrative that balances personal experiences with massive commercial success.
