Julia Wolf Reveals Drake DM That Led to ‘Dog House’ Collab: ‘He’s a Super Open-Minded Guy’

"Dog House" debuted at No. 86 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100.

Julia Wolf went from a relatively unknown artist to notching a Drake collaboration seemingly overnight. The emerging singer joined the Zach Kang Show on Monday (Oct. 27), where she detailed how a Drake Instagram follow and DM led to them eventually collaborating on “Dog House” in September.

“We were freaking out, it was like 6 in the morning… It’s 6 a.m. and Tanner’s waking me up [at] 6 in the morning — ‘Champagnepapi followed you!'” she recalled. “Then it’s freaking Drake, and he DMs me lyrics of ‘In My Room.’ How do you have a regular day?”
