“Must Be Drake Bell”: Drake Seemingly Denies DJ Khaled’s Album Feature After Announcement

It looks like Drake and DJ Khaled aren’t exactly on the same page when it comes to Khaled’s upcoming album, Aalam of God. The Toronto rapper has seemingly refuted Khaled’s claim that he will be featured on two tracks from the highly anticipated project.

DJ Khaled officially deleted his entire album announcement after Drake left a comment suggesting he doesn’t want to be on the album anymore 😭😭

“Must be @/drakebell 😶”

Khaled had initially shared a cinematic trailer for the album on Tuesday, featuring Mark Wahlberg mentioning collaborations with Drake, Jay-Z, and possibly Rihanna. In the caption, Khaled doubled down, writing: “DRAKE’S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH DRAKE’s.” He even tagged Rihanna, suggesting he wanted her on a track as well.

However, Drake quickly shut down the claims, responding in the Instagram comments, “Must be @drakebell.” The jab, referencing former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, made it clear that Drake has no involvement with Khaled’s album. Following the response, Khaled deleted the post entirely, adding to the confusion.

It remains unclear how the miscommunication happened or if it signals tension between the longtime collaborators. The two have worked together numerous times over the years, dating back to 2011’s “I’m On One” with Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, as well as hits like “For Free” (2016) and “POPSTAR” (2020).
