Blueface has shared why he believes he and Drake never ended up working on music together, despite the Canadian rapper reaching out to him to collaborate.

Back in late 2018, the "Thotiana" rapper excitedly shared a DM he'd received from Drizzy praising his track "Dead Locs" and promising a future collaboration. Drake even promised that producer Boi-1da had a beat for the pair that "slaps so hard." However, the song never surfaced.

In a new interview with DJ Vlad, published on Saturday (November 22), Blueface shared his thoughts as to why the collboration didn't end up happening.

"Maybe who I was behind or working with, he wasn't vibing with," Blueface surmised, before quickly getting to the crux of his argument, claiming Drake didn't just want to collaborate on a song. Instead, Drizzy wanted to sign Blueface, but lost interest in working together at all once he realized the Cali rapper was already signed to someone else.

In addition, Blueface explained, Drake may have viewed him as "competition" after the success of his 2018 hit "Thotiana" and its Cardi B-featuring remix.

Blueface also added that Smiley, an artist Drizzy signed sometime around 2021, "kind of had my sound."

Meanwhile, Blueface has been getting right back into controversy since his recent release from prison. In a new interview, he resurfaced an old rumor that his ex, Chrisean Rock, slept with Offset while the Georgia rapper was still married to Cardi B. That in turn sparked a spirited rebuttal from Rock.

"That lie, that rumor came out two years ago. What the fuck are you still talking about it for, bro?" Rock said during an Instagram Live. "You don’t make Cardi money. You don’t make Offset money. What the fuck. You just doodled and scribbled all over your fucking face."

Not holding back from calling out Blueface’s behavior since his release from prison, she added: "You need to go to the mental hospital, yo. And you need to go to rehab to get off the K2, you really do. I’m starting to think you still on that shit, I thought you was getting off of it."
