Few partnerships in hip-hop over the last decade hit harder than Drake and Migos. From the viral “Versace” remix to “Walk It Talk It” and “Having Our Way,” their collaborations weren’t just songs — they became cultural moments that helped define an era.
On a new episode of the Full Send Podcast, Offset took time away from promoting his solo album Kiari to reflect on that bond — and how Drake’s loyalty shaped the Migos story.
“He Always Showed Love”
When asked whether Drake could be counted on, Offset didn’t hesitate.
“He always showed love. Always pulled up to the video shoots, no hassle, no charges,” Offset recalled.
But the respect didn’t stop there. Offset revealed that Drake went above and beyond for Migos when they were coming up.
“He didn’t charge us. When we were starting out, he made it clear — equal splits.”
In an industry where money and power often dictate relationships, Drake’s generosity stood out as rare. For Migos, those early co-signs and that level of fairness weren’t just kind gestures — they were foundational.
Why Drake’s Support Mattered
For a group breaking into the mainstream, a Drake feature was game-changing. But as Offset explained, the difference was that Drake didn’t treat them like just another business deal. He treated them as equals.
That meant when Migos’ “Versace” exploded with Drake on the remix, it wasn’t simply a moment of clout — it was the start of a genuine partnership that helped catapult the group into superstardom.
Drake’s Loyalty in a Year of Criticism
Offset’s praise also arrives at a pivotal moment for Drake. Over the past year, the Toronto superstar has been under the microscope — facing criticism from rivals, endless media analysis, and second-guessing from fans.
But Offset’s words cut through that noise. Instead of the detached megastar image, he painted Drake as someone grounded in loyalty, fairness, and respect — qualities that mattered most when Migos needed them.
A Legacy That Extends Beyond Hits
This respect goes beyond their personal history. Drake’s recent purchase of Tupac Shakur’s legendary Death Row chain made headlines, underscoring his reverence for rap’s past even as he shapes its future.
And with his upcoming album ICEMAN looming, fans are eager to see how that lineage and legacy will surface in his music.
For Offset, however, the legacy is already clear: Drake’s role wasn’t just about platinum records and viral videos — it was about trust, respect, and a willingness to give back when it counted most.
