Drake is a proud member of Ellaâs Fellas. The 6 God showed major love to Ella Langley on her Instagram post on Sunday (Aug. 16), where he championed her songwriting ability.
The âChoosinâ Texasâ singer had posted a recap of her Texas shows over the weekend, and Drizzy hopped into her comments section. âGoated pen,â he wrote alongside a pen emoji.
With more than 4,000 likes on Drakeâs comment, fans immediately flooded the 6 Godâs replies with requests for a collaboration between the country and rap titans. â@champagnepapi Omg collab with her please,â one person wrote.
Drake giving Ella Langley her flowers came just hours after the Alabama native posted a TikTok on Saturday (Aug. 15), which saw Langley lip-synching along to Drizzy and Lil Wayneâs 2011 hit âHYFR (Hell Ya Fâking Right).â

Langley was rapping Weezyâs chorus bar-for-bar from the Grammy-nominated Take Care track, which peaked at No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100. âCountry by profession, Young Money by heart,â a fan joked in her comments section.
Drake has never fully ventured into the country world in the past, but he experimented with singing over an acoustic guitar on HABIBTIâs opener âRusty Intro.â
Langley has a rap collaboration under her belt, as the 27-year-old teamed up with BigXthaPlug for the Platinum-certified âHell at Nightâ in 2025, which peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Langley kicks off the second leg of her Dandelion Tour in Green Bay on Aug. 20. She joined forces with Koe Wetzel for âJadedâ earlier in August.
The country superstarâs âChoosinâ Texasâ continued to assert its dominance with an 18th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated Aug. 22, which is the fourth-longest tally in the chartâs history. Drake even gave âChoosinâ Texasâ a spin when he was DJing at a Houston club in July.
