Drake and The Weeknd are on a lot of artists bucket lists as far as features go, including Tory Lanez who has revealed he’s been sending the pair tracks for years to no avail.
On Tuesday (August 30), the embattled rapper was answering fan questions on Twitter when one supporter asked whether he’d secured any collabs with his fellow Canadian crooners for his next album.
“Been sending them songs for years … but nah not a single one,” Lanez replied.
Drake and Lanez started off their relationship as foes in the early days of the latter’s career, but the pair ultimately resolved things and even ended up doing a brief European tour together in 2019 called the Assassination Vacation Tour.
One troll ultimately clowned Lanez for admitting that his idols ignored him, but the Chixtape rapper clapped back.
“That’s embarrassing,” the troll wrote. “Who would ever admit that.”
“Me cuz it’s not embarrassing to me I’m an incredible artist,” Lanez replied. “No loss they still great.”
Elsewhere in his Q&A, Tory Lanez said his dram collab was Taylor Swift and that if he had to pick a favorite album it would either be Lost Cause or Daystar, the controversial project he released to partially respond to the criminal allegations of him shooting Megan Thee Stallion earlier in 2020.
Tory Lanez is still facing criminal charges for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot in 2020. In July, Lanez’ lawyers asked the trial’s start date of September 14 to be pushed back, citing “potential conflicts” due to an unrelated case involving Meg.
It remains unclear whether the request will be granted, with the judge claiming it was too “premature” to delay the trial.
The 30-year-old rapper is also embroiled in another lawsuit related to a 2019 incident that went down at LIV Miami, in which Lanez allegedly punched Love & Hip Hop: Miami star Christopher Michael Harty, aka Prince, while inside the club.

The suit seeks unspecified damages for the alleged physical, psychological, and mental distress “from blunt force trauma” to Prince’s neck, chest and back. Lanez is already off to a rocky start with the suit, as his lawyer last week filed a motion asking for permission to stop representing him.
In court documents obtained by RadarOnline, the attorney wrote he is “unable to effectively represent” Lanez, and told the court it was in the best interest of both parties for him to leave. The judge reportedly signed off on the request.
Meanwhile, The Weeknd is poised to have one of the biggest grossing stadium tours in recent memory, and he’s not even done with the first leg yet.
Touring Data revealed the statistics behind four of the Toronto singer’s After Hours Til Dawn tour dates from New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Chicago’s Soldier Field, Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts and FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland — and the numbers are staggering.
From those four dates alone, the tour saw $30 million in revenue from over 190,000 tickets sold, including complete sellouts in all four venues.
RocNation gonna have to run Tory Lanez a BIGBAG when this case settles. Tory is extremely talented and has been putting out the best music of his career only to have it fall on deaf ears with the masses due to his pending case. Unfortunately, most don’t follow facts but rather feelings. If you follow this case and the facts you see clear as day this man is innocent. False allegations are a complete slap in the face to true victims out here. I just hope when he’s found not guilty, those same Women groups speak out on their disdain toward Women who make up stories for notoriety or monetary purposes.
It’s not falling on deaf ears. If anything,a few more people checked him out. I know I’m not a fan like that of his, but I did check out the one he put out right after the incident, and that shit was the best thing he ever put out. He has gotten noticeably better from his early days.
Your is just a horrible industry plant MC. Zero talent. LIL Pump is begetter than that lame is. Lil Nas X gets bumped more. LOL
It’s interesting to note since he came in the game perceived as a generic brand Drake. He definitely found his own lane after those beginnings in the mainstream.
You mean he stole someone elses lane.
Nah, he sounds different from years ago. Also, Drake didn’t invent that lane. He’s just the first mainstream guy who got a co-sign from a star that put him on. There have been a million singing/rapping dudes in the past, and most of them did both things better than Drake. They just didn’t have the push.
drake lol
Ok whitey, whatever you say
he said whitey lol
Cause you’re a white piece of shit, thats why.
Drake and the Weekend are like little kids “idols” in the dot. No one even knows who Weeknd is they claim he’s from Toronto but no one seen him in Toronto much before he started hanging around with Belly. Drake been in Toronto for years as an actor and rapper folks respect him but he’s still basically R & B/ pop with a bit of trap thrown in. It’s not the kind of music mandem would really rate. Lots of big corporate money behind both. Drake had a Sprite commercial with Eminem before he dropped a single. Their plan worked with Drake
You act like Hoeronto is somewhere real motherfuckers care about. No one gives a fuck about who heard of who in that cosplay, cultural appropriating ice skating rink of a shit hole town, eh? Of course those rappers are all fake as shit, including Borey Lamez. They stole US cadence and slang. Period. No one heard of them in Toronto. No one heard of anyone from Toronto other than those dipshits. Dummy.
all these big name singers and rappers been getting their records produced and mixed in Toronto since the early 90s. P Funk recorded all their records in the 70s in Toronto. It’s not that far from Detroit. You don’t know anything about the world 500 pounds down in your mama basement. sucks to be you is all I can say
Fuck around and get your bitch shot in the foot by a midget. LOL.
Drake lmao
Drake has the face of a midget
They didn’t bother doing it because nobody wants to hear that shit. So kudos to Drake and the weeknd
Tory, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Weeknd would be a dream collab of mine.
I’d agree with him. He could body them both
Tory Lanez, if you read this; push past all of this. Focus on yourself. Don’t lose your sound.
