The rapper seemingly teased his retirement during an interview with his “best friend” Lil Yachty for the latter’s FUTUREMOOD sunglasses company.
“I think I’m at the point now where I just wanna, like, I feel like maybe we talked about this the other day, but I feel like I’m kind of introducing the concept in my mind of a graceful exit,” Drake tells Yachty during their “Moody Conversation.”
While his comments about a “graceful exit” suggest retirement, it’s hard to make out the full context as Yachty only released a clip from their conversation, which will be released in full on Friday.
It’s unclear if Drake’s days as a rapper are numbered. He released two projects last year, Honestly, Nevermind and the 21 Savage-assisted Her Loss, and has showed no signs of slowing down. During his Apollo show last month, he teased new music for 2023.
“I’ve thought about a bunch of things in life, but at this moment in time none of those things are stopping making music for you, so I’ll be here for you for a little bit at least,” he told fans. “And I hope I can strike up more emotions for you, maybe this year. I might get bored and make another one, who knows!”
