Although he just released his video for “Over”, Drake is already at work in Jamaica filming the video for his second single from his upcoming debut.
No official word on what the second single will be, but our money is on “Shut It Down” ft. The-Dream; but we’ll have to see.
In related news, Drake released a statement about that new Olivia “Control” song that has been circulating the web.
I support artist collaborations and sampling music that inspires you but I don’t support taking unauthorized recordings and marketing them as features. I’ve never worked with Olivia and I apologize to any fan who was duped into thinking that Control was a collaboration of mine.
Olivia was wrong for that mess! Anyway, Drake will be in his home country Canada this week for the Annual Juno awards where he is nominated for 4 awards.
damn olivia. not a good look. he just put you on blast. but it was probably somebody in her camp’s dumb idea.
Dman for real Olivia, honestly Drake is wack to me. I don;t really like modern Hip Hop because its all bs. The ish I do rock is conscious groups or artist his ish is like everyone’s elses ish, about money cars, homes and tricks- stuff they dont have or earn. No concept NOT!
50 aint giving her no leadway, she probably felt like she had no choice!! But Drake in Jamaica shooting…. nice!!! (SHABBA!!)
Damn Olivia lol
#2 i totally agree
WELL DAMN! SMH… That was quick!
I’m not surprised Olivia’s camp did that. I won’t say SHE did it, because I’m sure someone else thought it was a good idea and was behind it. I mean seriously, who is checkin for Olivia? NOBODY. Like I said in the “Control” post, there is nothing stand-out or special about her, and that’s just the honest truth.
I can’t wait for DRAKE’S album! Dude is becoming my favorite rapper.
Dam that was Dirty!
And i uploaded the track to my FB page and ish!..
Get it togetha ova there!..smh
THAT’S HILARIOUS. OLIVIA BOOT-LEGGED A CALLABO FT DRAKE!
THEY DOIN THAT NOW THESE DAYS????
How bout he go on a long vacation. Tired of hearing him
Olivia….Really? Wth?
Come on that was clear
Damn Olivia. He called you out. Dumb move.
This guy is being a bit overexposed now. I’m tired of him and his brand of music already.
Looking up now I c others feel the same way. His album not out yet and I’m so sick of him already. Go away!
Luda is right behind. I’m near sick of him 2.
Thats tooo funny! SMDH @ Oblivia. Poor girl. She tryna get in where she fit in i guess. I dont like drake either wish he would goooooooooo farrrrrrr, farrrrrr away!
)
I LOVE DRAKE.. who cares about her…
muah
wow @ olivia
No disrespect to Olivia, because I’ve actually always been a fan of hers since her 2001 debut, but there was no way in hell that she could’ve worked with an artist like Drake. He is one of the most in-demand artists right now, so when I saw that collaboration on this site the other day I kinda thought it was fishy. I bet his label charges a lot for him to appear on artists songs, and I know Olivia nor her label wouldn’t be willing to fork over the money for that.
desperado move from liv’s camp
yea… when i first saw the post on their song i was kind of think to myself why would he work with Olivia. Love her, but she was too random lol. Oh well, try again Olivia.
Olivia is a man and who cares about Drake.
NEXT!
Womp Womp! But I still loves Olivia!
Drake is Kanye 2.0 pure and simple.
I don’t see how Olivia would not have known that verses from an old Drake song were put on her song so I don’t know why people on here are thinking that. She and every other artist is able to hear their mastered tracks when they are finished. That’s very sneaky of her and the producer to do something like that. How pathetic? Olivia, nobody gives a rat’s you know what about you and this business is not for you so why try to add hype around you by using someone else’s buzz? What a loser.
I don’t care too much for Drake, but I am impressed with his hustle in the music game. I can’t believe that pop stations are playing “Over.“ It’s extremely urban and sounds like an underground hip-hop song that even R&B/Hip-Hop stations wouldn’t play.
#18 I agree. It was just too random right from the get. Drake cleared that up REAL quick. Poor her.
Aww… that real sadd.Olivia, get it togetha mama
I KNEW IT WASNT LEGIT.
drake +…olivia=…come on people.
Love Drake! Olivia tried to pull a fast one.
Fuck drake, with his ugly lookin self, #sidenote can’t wait for more Olivia!
Who cares!!! My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He- is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at an age gap dating site[_www. A G E R O M A N C E com_]—a nice and free place for Younger- Women and Older Men, or Older Women and Younger Men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or- tell your friends.
Drake just mad Olivia’s single is hotter than his new one. He’s a mixtape artist. How’s he going to get made at somebody putting his verses with theirs without him knowing it. The only reason we know who he is is because for years he did the exact same thing!!!!
I was wondering why Drake would do a song with Olivia ..
Did she think she was going to get away with it? That Drake was just going to say “hey I’ve heard your new song – I love how you added my part. Great job!”
I didn’t even know the Juno’s were this weekend.
Don’t even think I’ll watch it – the Juno’s are usually boringgg.
sad to say it but when i saw that post I thought to myself why olivia it really did look fishy and thats sad to say but it didnt seem right. Poor Olivia, but this industry is very very harsh these fans and radio people and media in general will shut u down in a quick second its not like when tlc, brandy, monica and them back in the day all of them could make music and it was a hip hop r&b movement now its just top people and then everyone else who dont get a second look u have to go above and beyond even if the song is hot the way people are now a days they still wont support it. Music is not the same I wish it was like back in the days wen monica brandy tlc changing faces all them people were out that was real music and not too much competition now its just crap with a lot of crappy people the world is changing for the worst each day
DRAKE stop Bitching…Ok i understand that..BUT if it was 50 cent or a bigger Artist he would have SAID nothing!.I live in L.A i see an Know Several of these Artist and TRUST me they are All Media WHORES..but this is a Business of MEDIA..duh.. DRAKE please u usto do the same thing Every artist hop’s on Remix tracks etc..STOP being a Bratty..Lil Bitch..U are not that Serious Nor should u Look down or feel u are superior..its ALL seasonal..Ya think
Did he really just say she sampled his song and marketed as a single ?!?!
Wow Oliva (pause) wow smh.
How does one hijack a collaboration?
Dam, Olivia!
Thanks J Dakar
THIS TYPE OF SH!T HAPPENS EVERY DAY.
THE BUSINESS IS VERY SHADY. SOME OF YOUR FAVES AREN’T EVEN REALLY THE ONES SINGING THE SONGS YOU LOVE EITHER. MILLI VANILLI 2010. DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR.
On behalf of Souled Out Records
Record: Olivia “Control”, featuring Drake
Drake’s performance on Olivia’s “Control” was paid for by Souled Out Records. Souled Out Records approached the then up-and-coming artist in 2007 in recognition of his talent.
Souled Out Records is shocked to hear that Drake has not authorized Souled Out Records to use his recorded performance, as the service was already paid-for. Olivia’s contribution, through Dollaz Unlimited, elevated the reach of the record and was a win-win situation for Dollaz Unlimited, Souled Out Records and DJ Finesse. Souled Out Records contacted Drake via email and telephone, on several occasions, unsuccessfully.
Dj Special K & Dj Finesse Present: Olivia’s “Control” featuring Drake record was not intended for an album release.
The track was boring anyway, wasn’t feeling it without or without Drake. And I’d love to be in Jamaica right now. Looking forward to that vid
HMMMM…..Interesting! I love Olivia from her days of ” Bounce ” !!!! Too bad, her deal with 50 did not work out !!!!! As far as Control, it was an okay song – nothing special!
