Yung Miami<\/a> isn\u2019t giving up on securing another collaboration with Drake<\/a>, whose current Billboard charts dominance looks poised to continue for the foreseeable future<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with Cam Newton<\/a> for the Auburn Tigers and Carolina Panthers alum\u2019s Funky Friday podcast<\/a>, Miami spoke at length about the impact the Iceman<\/a>–Habibti<\/a>–Maid of Honour<\/a> artist had on her and JT<\/a> during the City Girls<\/a> era, with their involvement on the Scorpion track \u201cIn My Feelings\u201d getting particular attention.<\/p>\n

Per Miami, who this month netted her highest charting solo Hot 100 entry yet with \u201cSpend Dat,\u201d Drake is a \u201csupportive\u201d and \u201cspecial\u201d force in the music industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe comes from a genuine space,\u201d she said, citing his City Girls co-sign as the \u201cbreakthrough\u201d moment for the now-defunct duo.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the conversation, as seen in a clip shared to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (June 3), Miami said she recently made efforts to get Drake on her unreleased track \u201cTake Me to Chanel.\u201d At the time, however, Drake was still in the throes of the Kendrick Lamar<\/a> feud.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to get Drake. \u2026 I was trying to get him on the song,\u201d Miami told Cam, as seen below. \u201cLike, I remember DMing him, but that\u2019s at the time when he was going through all his shit. And when people are going through their shit, like, I get it. I understand. It\u2019s just like, \u2018I gotta focus on me right now,\u2019 because these people trying to take me out. I can understand that, so I didn\u2019t take it personally.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Miami, Drake\u2019s reaction to the DM in question amounted to a mere like, though she reiterated that she understands why he wasn\u2019t jumping at the chance to appear on her track at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, Drake, I think you would sound good on \u2018Take Me to Chanel,\u2019\u201d she recalled. \u201cHe just liked the thing. He just liked the message. I\u2019m like, come on now, don\u2019t do that, Drake. Don\u2019t do that now. Because, when you called me, I was there. But nah, I fuck with Drake. I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

When sharing the clip to IG, Miami reignited her campaign in pursuit of a new Drake collab.<\/p>\n

\u201cIceman, pick up the phone,\u201d she captioned the Stories update.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpend Dat,\u201d Miami\u2019s latest solo single, is currently at No. 66<\/a> on the Billboard Hot 100. This stands as her highest-charting entry as a solo artist, and third appearance overall following \u201cDon\u2019t Play With It\u201d in 2023 and \u201cRap Freaks\u201d in 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yung Miami isn\u2019t giving up on securing another collaboration with Drake, whose current Billboard charts dominance looks poised…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-296852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
