When Wayne dropped his highly-anticipated 12th album, Tha Carter V, in September 2018, people wondered why Drake wasn’t included on the record - but according to the music mogul himself, there was a song he had been working on with Drizzy that simply didn’t get cleared in time, meaning the track had to be shelved.

His sophomore, Take Care, in November 2011, was an even bigger success, shifting 8 million copies worldwide and producing the hits “The Motto,” “Make Me Proud,” “Headlines,” and “Crew Love.” With the support of Wayne’s fanbase and the millions of dollars invested into Drake’s first album in 2010, titled Thank Me Later, the Canadian-born hitmaker had become a force to be reckoned with, with first-week numbers reaching 447,000 copies and going on to push close to 2 million copies in the US by 2015.
