The prolific Toronto rapper, who has collaborated with Rick Ross on many projects, has showered the rapper with praises on his friend and longtime partner. Drizzy and Ross have collaborated on numerous albums, including “God Roses,” “Pop That,” “Aston Martin Music,” “No New Friends,” and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle,” which is featured on “Scary Hours 2.”

Drake shared a video of Rick and Smiley on his Instagram account. Rick and Smiley recently worked together on the song “Over The Top.” “The greatest rapper alive met my favorite rapper alive,” he said as the video’s caption. Drake has referred to Smiley as a “inspiration” in the past, and the announcement that he is among the artists nominated for the 2019 Grammy Awards arrived just one day after Smiley made the claim. Drake eventually signed Smiley in 2021 after years of listening to and talking about the music of the new Toronto rapper and friend. Together, the two created the song “Over the Top,” which went viral this summer on websites like Tik-Tok. With his most recent releases, Rick Ross has demonstrated that he is presently among the finest in the business.
