The first collaboration between Drake and Benny The Butcher is something fans have been anxiously awaiting since both artists teased the song in 2019. While Drake has remained tight-lipped regarding the track, Benny has been giving fans bits of information regarding the highly-anticipated joint effort.
During a visit to the Big Facts Podcast, the Griselda rapper gave another update on the song, revealing once again it’s a matter of timing and waiting for the right moment to drop the record.
“It’s like this, it’s like, levels, you know what I’m saying,” Benny said. ”I wanna — shit, it’s a record from Drake. I want it to work out. It’s a build-up thing. It’s not just about getting it and throwing it up, and it’s about timing. That’s muthacking Drake, Aubrey Graham. So, even if you got a record with that n-gga, you can’t just throw it out. You gotta get ready when he ready, too. It’s all that type of shit so, you know what I mean, it’s just whenever.”
Benny also praised Drake for reaching out and wanting to work with him.
“How we were saying about the followers and all that a few minutes ago, I’m appreciative of n-ggas like that who just not reaching out to n-ggas who just got — ’cause he could work with anybody,” he said. “I’m appreciative of that. To be honest with you, even if them shits never came out, the conversations that we had, I know that he a guy who respects my flow and I respect his and what he’s done in the game, so it’s about that. But I can’t wait for this muthafucking record.”

Benny also confirmed they got busy on the mic. When asked if the song was a bars record, Benny replied Drake was “talking his shit like he always do.”
The proud Buffalo native is expected to drop Plugs I Met 2 on Friday (March 19), which serves as the follow-up to the 2019 original. Guest features include Jim Jones, the late Chinx, French Montana and 2 Chainz.
No one wants this. Benny don’t need this bs. Leave fake ass drake out of your discography
I totally agree. Maybe Gucci or Jeezy or Kaye
Wait how is this even “highly anticipated”? Nobody wants Drake on a Griselda song. NOBODY asked for this! Two different cloths, different styles, types of raps, content bars. Let’s be real NOBODY want a Drake feature on this. SMH lol
I pray this doesn’t come out.
I don’t care what a mf say, this is highlty-anticipated
Hate to break it to you stans, but in the real world, this is highly anticipated. Why else do you think radio stations keep asking him about it? They’re hungry for this. This just might be the biggest song of Benny’s career. Now next up is that Westside Gunn/Travis Scott track. I know y’all blood was boiling when you saw them two together.
Radio stations bring up Drake feature since Drake is poppin in the mainstream but let’s be real Benny isn’t your typical mainstream rapper.. the core base of Griselda fans like the music as is.. I just don’t see how a Drake feature will improve the music with Drake’s soft ass.. I mean it’s good for Benny for more exposure but let’s be real nobody want a Drake feature.. you really think Drake going to come in “with the heat?” Man GTFOH! Haha
People keep saying Drake is soft yada yada yada….Drake raps about real man shit…reality is, all this being tough every 24 hours of the day isn’t real. Drake has very witty rhymes too….if y’all didn’t notice, or if y’all can admit. I cosign what you saying. I would love to see another side of Griselda, as long as they stay dope, it doesn’t have to be crack rap, as long as it’s dope hahaha
