Camila Cabello drops her fourth studio album. C, XOXOon Friday (June 28), and the project features several star-studded collaborations, including „Hot Uptown” featuring Drake and a song with the rapper called „Uuugly.”
Capello opened up about collaborating with Drizzy in a new interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, noting that it all started in the DMs. „At least from what I know of myself, I feel like we connect in a lot of ways musically,” she said of herself and Drake. „I think we have similar taste and lyrics. I actually slide into his DMs and I’m like, 'I’ve been listening to you a lot for this album,’ a lot of wordplay and my desire for bars.”
The pop star revealed that Drake has been following her since the release of “Havana” in 2018. “I de-met him, and then I played him my album, and he f—ed with it. I sent the idea for 'Hot Uptown’ and wrote my part. I sent it back to him and we felt it was a duet. „Then when he was working on his parts again, he gave me an outro that was the 'UUUgly part,'” he recalls.
She continued, „It was a dooper because he didn’t necessarily give me an outro, but I didn’t want to hear a song like, 'Hot Uptown,’ and then go into this one-minute thing where he’s talking — so we decided to make it another song.”
Capello and Drake made headlines back in December when they were spotted chatting on a boat while on vacation with friends in Turks and Caicos. „It’s a holiday and some work,” Capello said of the trip to Alex Cooper. Call her dad Podcast in March.
