Drake Says He Wouldn't Be Here Without Bow Wow

After debuting three songs atop the Billboard Hot 100, Drake marked the occasion by partying with friends including Bow Wow at a private dinner in his honour at Mastro’s in Houston. Taking to Instagram, Drake shared video of him and Shad Moss toasting to his chart feat.

“I didn’t know how else to bring in 1, 2, 3. I had to link with Wizzle,” he said. “Everybody wants to have drinks and everybody wants to celebrate and turn up, I just had to see Wizzle. I had to see Wizzle in person.”

Drake went on to credit Bow Wow for opening doors, while quoting lyrics from his 2001 hit “Thank You.” “If it wasn’t for you, there wouldn’t be no me,” said Drake, “and that’s why I’ma rock with y’all forever more. I appreciate y’all.”

This week, Drake became the first artist to enter the Hot 100 at Nos. 1, 2, and 3 simultaneously with his trio of Scary Hours 2 tracks. “What’s Next” debuted at No. 1, followed by “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby at No. 2, and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring Rick Ross at No. 3.
