Fetty Wap Discusses Getting A Co-Sign From Drake & The “My Way” Remix

Fetty Wap stopped by The FADER‘s office in New York City recently to speak on how he got a co-sign from Drake and how the “My Way” remix came to be.

The New Jersey rapper explained that Drizzy first reached out to him via Instagram, it was an easy decision to add him on “My Way“, and that they have still not yet met in person.

“He sent me a DM, and I sent him my number. When I landed from Tampa a couple of days ago, and as soon as I landed and turned my phone off of airplane mode, he was FaceTiming from DC where he was playing ‘My Way’ at a club. He was like: ‘Yo, I want to cut the record tonight.’ Next thing I know, I checked my email and it was there.”

“The thing I respect about Drake the most is that he’s not one of them artists that take his status and just do what he want with it. He has the status to just do anybody’s track, if he really wants to. I’m just a nobody compared to Drake, and he still actually asked me: ‘Is it cool if I do a remix?’ And even the way he said it—more like: ‘Can I bless it?’ He was thanking me for putting him on the remix, and I’m trying to tell him like: ‘No, thank you. You don’t understand what you’re doing for me.’ He’s definitely a very, very, very, very humble person.”

Fetty has yet to meet Drake in person, but hopes “that when we do meet it’s going to be a lot more music in the making.” For all his respect for Drake, though, Fetty’s still claiming 2015 as his own. “I ain’t really gonna spill the beans too much,” he said, “but just know—’Trap Queen,’ ‘My Way’? Fetty Wap is the artist of the year.”
