Lil Yachty manifested his working relationship with Drake.

Yachty and his Concrete Boys collective stopped by PlaqueBoyMax‘s stream recently and was asked by the popular streamer how his and Drake’s working relationship came about.

“I manifested it, bro,” he answered after he included the Toronto rapper on a list of some of the most talented people he’s worked with, alongside Tyler, The Creator and Juice WRLD. “I was doing acid one night and I was like, ‘Man, I would really love to work with Drake. That’s one of my favorite rappers.’ I was just talking to the abyss. I was speaking to, like, a higher power, and I manifested it. I did. This was years ago. This was before we ever did anything.”

He added that they followed each other on social media before becoming close friends and collaborators. “He followed me, we was cool. We was on Finsta together and it was cool. But, like, I wanted to have a relationship,” he admitted. “That’s one of my best friends. Manifestation is real. I manifested getting on, becoming famous, becoming a rapper. All this sh– is manifestation. You gotta speak this sh– into existence. I’ll never forget, I used to be in high school and Tyler and Rocky used to FaceTime me.”

Drake and the Atlanta rapper first linked up in 2020 for the latter’s song “Oprah’s Bank Account,” with Yachty contributing to both Her Loss and For All the Dogs as a featured artist, writer and producer.

Lizzo recorded a breakup anthem for Love Island USA season 6 alum JaNa Craig, following her recent split with co-star Kenny Rodriguez — and Craig absolutely loves it.

The Grammy-winning star took to TikTok on Tuesday to share her two cents on the matter, singing, “Hol’ on, walk with me/ When it come to my people, I don’t play, I don’t play/ Like why would Kenny play like that with JaNa?/ Type sh–, know what I’m sayin’, know what I’m sayin’.”

The couple broke up last month after almost a year of dating. In a July 29-dated Instagram Story, Craig wrote, “Discovering someone you loved isn’t who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn’t been genuine since day one has been truly devastating.” She called him out as a “manipulative liar” in a later IG Story following his own public statement about their split, in which he wrote, “Breakups are never easy, especially in the public eye. Sometimes, despite how deeply you care for someone, you come to the hard truth that the relationship was not something that could last long-term.”

While catching up with TMZ outside LAX on Wednesday, Craig said she thought the tune was too good to be true. “It’s so cute because I’m getting so much love, and for it to be from Lizzo, you know what I mean? I know a lot of people are supporting me, but when it’s your favorite celebrity supporting you…,” she said before divulging her plans to go back to her hotel and make a TikTok about the song.

And she did just that, captioning the clip, “No cause @lizzo we need to knowww …. And lmk if you need me for that music video #Lizzoiloveyou.” The “Truth Hurts” singer doubled down on her support by commenting, “Always team NayNay.”

Billboard and The Players’ Tribune teamed up to launch Switching Stages, a new video series that brings together celebrated athletes and world-renowned musicians to explore their shared connections. The first episode, sponsored by T-Mobile, premiered on Friday (Aug. 15) and features Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young and chart-topping Migos rapper Quavo. The two bonded over their mutual love for Atlanta and its vibrant culture.

The episode kicks off with Trae and Quavo facing off in a friendly yet competitive game of HORSE on the basketball court. Later, they head to the recording studio, where Quavo takes the lead in his element, guiding Trae through the process of recording a song.

“Music and sports have always shared a powerful connection—an energy that fuels artists and athletes alike to perform on the biggest stages,” said Hannah Karp, Editor-in-Chief of Billboard. “With Switching Stages, we’re pulling back the curtain and inviting fans to witness that magic in a totally new way.”

Jenna Klein, Global VP of Brand and Athlete Strategy at The Players’ Tribune, added her own statement about the “human side” of both of these industries. “The Players’ Tribune exists to showcase the human side of the world’s top athletes, offering fans an in-depth view of the person off-the-court and this partnership with Billboard is a perfect example of that concept in practice,” Klein said in a statement. “We are thrilled to bring together the world’s best players and musicians to give fans entertaining content that also provides a closer look at the connectivity between sport and music, educating both the interviewees and fans of the respective disciplines, along the way.”

The series will continue with additional episodes throughout the year, featuring more star-studded collaborations, including with Normani, two-time Olympian and Gold Medalist Jordan Chiles and more.
