Lacy Revels in Drake's Unexpected Endorsement: A Budding Friendship in the Making?

In a recent interview, rising artist Steve Lacy expressed his excitement over Drake's unexpected praise of his music. Just last week, Lacy graced the cover of Rolling Stone, and during the video interview, he reflected on Drake's comments from last November, where the rapper referred to Lacy as a "fragile opp" while listening to his hit song.

Lacy was thrilled by Drake's shoutout, saying "I thought it was so awesome. I love Drake. I grew up listening to Drake and shit, you know. I was like, 'This is so beautiful.'" He was initially unsure of what Drake's comments meant, but when his friend Fousheé sent him the video, Lacy was "so excited" and felt it was "cool" that the 6 God had acknowledged his work.

The original comments from Drake came during a livestream on xQc's platform, where he listened to Lacy's chart-topping single. Despite the initial speculation that Drake was taking a dig at Lacy, the Compton native had a playful response at the time, asking "Who tryna be my...fragile opp?"

Now, as Lacy prepares to release his new album "OH YEAH?" in the coming months, he is feeling confident and personal about the project, describing it as his "most confident" and "most personal" work to date. Fans are eagerly anticipating this new release, which could potentially solidify Lacy's rising status in the music industry.
