in a new interview for the 100th issue of FADER Magazine, Drake has spoken for the first time about why he jumped on the surprise remix for Wizkid’s Ojuelegba a few months back.

“I just did it because I was in the moment,” he says. “I wasn’t thinking like, ‘Oh man, I gotta get my brand up in Nigeria.’” (He hastens to add, with classic Drake politeness, “Not to say that’s not important. I’m super-honored to be on that song.”
