In an unexpected twist, Drake refutes DJ Khaled's claims of collaboration on his new album 'Aalam of God', leaving fans puzzled and eager for answers while sparking feud rumors.
- Feb 6, 2025
AceShowbiz - DJ Khaled's highly anticipated album rollout for "Aalam of God" was thrown into disarray following a bold denial from one of his collaborators - Drake. The Miami producer had excitedly confirmed on social media that the Toronto rapper would feature on two tracks from his 14th studio album. Accompanied by a cinematic trailer starring Mark Wahlberg, Khaled's announcement initially generated significant buzz.
Khaled's post, which included potential collaborations with Jay-Z and Rihanna, was eventually deleted after Drake mockingly commented, "Must be @drakebell," referencing the former Nickelodeon star, Drake Bell.
This cheeky response sent shockwaves through the fanbase, sparking questions about the extent of Drake's involvement in the project. Despite the Instagram post being deleted, Khaled left a similar tweet up on X, where Drake reiterated his confusion.
The surprising exchange came as Drake was kicking off his "Anita Max Win" tour in Australia and New Zealand. Adding to the drama, he's been making headlines on tour, donning a bullethole-riddled black hoodie and declaring, "Drizzy Drake is very much still alive"” a nod to his recent controversies and legal battles involving Kendrick Lamar who recently swept multiple Grammies.
While Khaled's caption had enthusiastically proclaimed, "DRAKE'S BACK TO WORK… SO AM I! THIS THE ONE WITH DRAKE'S," it seems the apparent miscommunication may have halted those plans. Drake's rebuttal left many wondering whether the long-standing relationship between the two artists might be experiencing turbulence.
The confusion surrounding Drake's involvement in "Aalam of God" has naturally led to speculation about the reasons behind such a public denial. Past collaborations between Khaled and Drake have yielded hits like "I'm On One" (2011), "For Free" (2016), and "POPSTAR" (2020), suggesting a strong professional bond.
Despite the uproar, Khaled's camp remains tight-lipped, and it's unclear if the denied features signal deeper issues between the two. As for Drake, he seems to be focusing on his upcoming collaboration album with PartyNextDoor titled "$$$4U," set to drop next Friday, giving fans something to look forward to amidst the current chaos.
Billboard has reached out to both Khaled's and Drake's representatives for further comment, but as of now, the mystery around "Aalam of God" continues to captivate fans and industry watchers alike.
