(AllHipHop News) This past weekend Drake’s Views project was flying off the Internet’s proverbial shelves as early estimates say that Views earned over 150 million streams in its first week.
By now Drake’s Views is being dissected in every way possible from staunch critics to casual fans, but through out all of hype it was almost impossible not to notice the huge shout out that Drake gave Kevin Durant on the song “Weston Road Flows.”
According to SportingNews, Kevin Durant was “all smiles” after hearing his favorite rapper shout him out on his new project.
“A lot of people just hit me up when my name is mentioned/Shout out to KD we relate we get the same attention/It’s rainin’ money, Oklahoma City Thunder/The most successful rapper 35 and under.”
“When your favorite rapper puts your name in a song, it makes you feel like you made it,” he explained.
Both Drake and Durant have a history after the Toronto Raptors were reportedly fined $25,000 after Drake was found to be tampering by encouraging KD to come play with Toronto.
“You know, my brother Kevin Durant was kind enough to come to the show tonight and watch us. I just want him to see what would happen if he came to play in Toronto. Let him know what would happen,” Drake told a concert back in 2014.
