Drake is in a Chingy state of mind.
As Sunday turned to Monday, a certain 2004 hit, "One Call Away" to be exact, was made the subject of back-to-back Instagram Stories updates from the recent 100 Gigs unloader. Drake zeroed in on the opening lines of the track’s second verse, which see Chingy admitting to an attempt at "showing out" on the court in front of a romantic interest.
"I felt this," Drake said, adding that Chingy "really struck a chord with this one coated lyric."
In a follow-up post, Drake gave his interpretation of the basketball skill level of the song’s narrator, like so: "We know you were ass at ball but your ting showed up and you started doing too much." Such a lyric, Drake added, is quite simply "real af."
As of Monday morning, there was some disagreement among fans as to Drake’s intentions for the Chingy-focused updates. At any rate, the IG mentions are sure to drive a good chunk of the 6 God’s 145 million followers to the song in question, which was released as a single in January 2004 after initially appearing on Chingy’s Jackpot album one year prior. The song peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100 and ultimately spent 20 total weeks on the chart. "Right Thurr," another Jackpot single, also peaked at No. 2.
Next for the Drake-iverse is a recently announced joint album with PartyNextDoor. Though no release date has been publicly set, the album is expected to arrive at a seasonably appropriate time.
