Bad Bunny‘s success is apparently Drake‘s success as well, because according to Birdman, the Puerto Rican superstar has been secretly signed to OVO since the start of his career.
On Sunday (October 8), the Cash Money boss joined Wack 100 on Clubhouse for a quick conversation where he revealed the alleged affiliation.

“Bad Bunny already signed to Drake,” he said. “Y’all just don’t know it. We going up, man … [He’s been signed under] OVO [since] day one.”
Listen to the audio below:
While Bad Bunny appears on Drake’s new album For All the Dogs, the pair first collaborated in 2018 on the former’s single “MIA.” Both OVO Sound and Latin label Rimas Entertainment are credited on the song, however, no further release from Bunny has listed OVO.
The “Dakiti” artist will also be dropping a new album on Friday (October 13), titled Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana. Its current listing on streaming platforms does not credit OVO either.

Birdman has been pretty vocal as of late, especially as it pertains to Drake. The Cash Money co-founder has been involved in Drizzy’s career since he signed to Lil Wayne‘s label Young Money back in 2009. The deal was actually a joint venture between Young Money and Cash Money, distributed by Universal.
With the release of For All the Dogs, Birdman has taken to firing back at many high-profile critics.
Among them is Breakfast Club co-host Charlamagne Tha God, who was not kind to Drake’s SZA collaboration “Slime You Out,” telling his audience that “nobody cared” about the track.

Birdman fired back on Instagram, alluding to a contentious interview he and Charlamagne had all the way back in 2016.
“I think you mean good and I respek you even thou [sic] we had our difference…but respek [Drake],” he wrote.
The Cash Money leader even had a general message for all of Drake’s haters. He posted a photo of the OVO hitmaker giving the camera two middle fingers to his Instagram Story, captioning it: “N-ggaz keep playing with [Drake] we gon throw you stunna surprise party,” adding emojis of a red teardrop and a Canadian flag.
Out of all of Drake’s would-be antagonists, Birdman had the most to say to Druski. The comedian has been engaged with a comedic faux-feud with Birdman and Cash Money Records for months, even creating a “label” called Coulda Been Records with a logo mirroring Cash Money’s.
The comedian’s most recent skit shows him jokingly accusing Drake of stealing part of the latter’s new song “Daylight” from a track of Druski’s. Birdman, however, appeared not to find the whole thing funny. On Instagram, he shared several images of Druski with threatening messages.
“[Drake] on [Birdman’s mother] Gladys this n-gga gone [come] up missin,” read one. “@Druski my lil n-ggaz want some of that[. S]top play with tha GOAT [Drake.] Rich Gang or don’t bang you lil bitch.”

Drake himself even jumped into the comments of Druski’s post, writing: “Stunna bout to have you come up missing on Gladys.”
The entire time Druski has been doing his Coulda Been Records bit, it has been unclear how much of Birdman’s angry response is real and how much, if any, of it is him playing into the gag.
