Lil Wayne recently opened up about his perfectionist work ethic when working with his friend and protege, Drake.
The “Something You Forgot” rapper held a Q&A session on Twitter Wednesday, where he answered fans’ most pressing questions. One follower wrote a question, asking the hip-hop GOAT about re-recording guest verses.
“You do a lotta features on and off of your albums. Do you ever get a verse from someone that’s so hot, u go back and adjust yours? If so, can u name a few people?” user @LadyKTheRapper asked.
Wayne responded with a recorded message to his fan, revealing that Drake always motivates him to switch up his verses.
“Everything Drake send back, I always have to go back and re-record. It’s always because he says something at the end that make me be like, ‘Ooh, I could capitalize on what he just said.'” He went on to add, “I have changed my verse a billion times because of Drake.”
Drake and Lil Wayne have collaborated countless times in the past decade, so he could be referring to any number of tracks. Some of their most notable releases include “Miss Me,” “HYFR,” I’m Goin In,” and “Truffle Butter” alongside fellow Young Money veteran Nicki Minaj.
Since Wayne is currently working on three albums, fans will likely receive another Drizzy, and Weezy cut in the near future.
