Drake’s shocking revelation that his most recent album, Her Loss, is actually part of a trilogy has shocked his fans.
In recently discovered interview footage, Drizzy described how his collaboration with 21 Savage is the third and final installment of a trilogy that began with 2021’s Certified Lover Boy and ended with June’s Honestly, Nevermind.
“We got CLB, Certified Lover Boy, that was like the, you know, ‘I’m trying my best to make her love [me], I’m chasing you,’” he said. “And then, Honestly, Nevermind, is the realization that maybe that lifestyle is not for me.”
“Then Her Loss is like ‘No Pigeons,”‘ he continued. “Remember when [Sporty Thievz] dropped ‘No Pigeons’ when [TLC] had ‘No Scrubs’ out?”
Drake also stated that Her Loss is among his top five albums to date and deserving of a spot in his top three.
“[Her Loss] is one of the greatest albums I ever made in my life,” he declared. “I said the other day, I think this is a clear entry into my top five of my catalog — if not, my top three.”
Her Loss, which was released on November 4, sold almost 404,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, propelling it to the top spot on the Billboard 200. On the Billboard Hot 100, eight of the songs it released were among the top 10.
21 Savage and Drake acknowledged in a different interview clip that they collaborated on the verses on the album.
“I ain’t gon cap, Drake wrote some of my verses on this album,” 21 said. “These facts. I don’t give a fuck what a n-gga say, Drake helped me with some of my verses on this album.”
Drake added: “By the way, you also helped me with sh*t too.”
21 Savage stated he supported Drake’s lyrical jabs after he faced criticism for his attacks on Megan Thee Stallion and other targets during an appearance on Akademiks’ Off the Record podcast.
“When he sent me the songs, I’m pointing out what I heard and I tell him like, ‘Yeah, n-gga. “Talk that shit,’” he said. “You know I’m gassing him. I’m behind him. Whatever he standing on, I’m standing on it, too. So say what you feel, n-gga, ’cause I’m riding.
