DJ Khaled recently took to social media to announce his 14th album, Aalam of God, which he teased would feature two new songs with Drake.
In a short film promoting the album, Khaled excitedly shared the news, even mentioning Drake multiple times in his post.
However, things took an unexpected turn when Drake quickly denied any involvement with the album.
Drake trolled Khaled’s announcement with a comment on the now-deleted Instagram post, writing, “Must be @drakebell.”
While Khaled’s Instagram post was removed, the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) remained up for a time, but both posts have now been deleted.
Drake, who is currently in Australia and New Zealand for his Anita Max Win Tour, also made headlines on opening night, walking on stage in a hoodie with bullet holes and smoke trailing behind him.
He declared, “Drizzy Drake is very much still alive,” likely a comment on the public tension he’s been facing, including a diss track from Kendrick Lamar.
Drake is also working on a joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR. As of now, neither Khaled nor Drake has made any further comments about the album or the public fallout.
