OVO Sound boss Drake is all here for R&B singer Kehlani‘s new It Was Good Until It Wasn’t album. In addition to unleashing a massive co-sign, he also responded to stories that he helped Lani pick out her project’s title.
6 God Facts
This week, Drake went to his Instagram Story to clear up speculation and hype. The 6 God co-signed Lani’s project and seemed to deny that he had anything to do with its name.
“???nah why is this the headline though… anyways your album is incredible the headline should be “Kehlani drops a life soundtrack” congrats @kehlani @boi1da BLESSINGS!!” -Drake’s Instagram
The Creation
Kehlani originally said Drake helped her confirm what the project would be called during a conversation at his Toronto home. She had been in the 6 finishing recording with executive producer Boi-1da.
When asked how she came up with the album’s title, Kehlani responded, “Well, I didn’t come up with it.” “We had went to Canada to finish our, I always say ‘our’ album because I fuck with my team so heavy, like, it was me, my videographer, my little play brother that I co-write with, my assistants,” she said. “So, I went to go finish the project, and the last day we went with Boi-1da and ended up going to Drake’s house.” She went on to describe how their conversation led to her realizing the name of the release. “We’re just having, like, a life conversation, talking about the old music, talking about what we’re both ’bout to do. And then I was just talking about [my] personal life and I was just like, ‘Man, yeah it was good until it wasn’t’ and he was like, ‘Say that shit again,’ and I was like ‘What?’ and he was like ‘That’s your album.’ And I was like, ‘You might be fuckin’ right.’” (Complex)
