Memphis rapper BlocBoy JB says he is standing by Drake after half the music industry turned their backs on the Canadian rapper.
Drake and BlocBoy teamed up for their 2018 smash hit “Look Alive,” which catapulted the rising rapper into the mainstream.
“I’ll never switch sides on anybody that helped me. This rap game different. N-ggas will fake f-ck wit ya for da moment just cuz it’s beneficial. I’ll never switch up on da [owl emoji]. Ion give AF wat cuh do,” he wrote on his Instagram Story.
“Look Alive” is BlockBoy JB’s most-viewed video, with 395 million views to date.
“He knew my producer [Tay Keith] already, so he was already talking to him. He got the beat from him and sent it to me early in the morning. I jumped straight up and went to the studio,” he told The Fader at the time of the collab.
He says Drake called him two or three days later from his city and they linked up to shoot the video.
