Everyone has an opinion on how Drake should maneuver with his next venture to turn the page to 2025. Coming off of his appearance during Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Halftime Show over the weekend, Mustard stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Monday (Feb. 10) to share his thoughts on just that.
Big Boy asked what Drake’s next move should be, and Mustard made it clear his response wasn’t directed at the 6 God, but all artists.
“I actually don’t think about what he could do. I have no idea. I just try to stay aligned with pure s–t, just being pure and being on the right side of things — not doing no tactics and gimmicks,” he said.
Mustard continued: “I’m not speaking at Drake or for him, but a lot of s–t that’s going on — the tactics, the things that you do just to get attention. You don’t need to do that. Just make music, man. Make good music and you’ll be fine.”
The “Not Like Us” producer is far from the first artist to publicly dish out some advice for Drake. 50 Cent revealed to Billboard last year what he told the OVO boss following the battle with Lamar.
“I was telling him, it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you,” he said. “Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real s–t, I said, ‘They said you lost, OK. Well what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got $300 something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherf—ing thing, man.”
Drake will attempt to turn the page this year with the arrival of his joint album with PartyNextDoor, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, which will fittingly hit streaming services on Valentine’s Day (Feb. 14) for the lovers.
