News: Fetty Wap Talks Working With Drake on ‘My Way’ (remix)

Fetty Wap recently got the co-sign he needed to elevate his career in the music industry. Drake recently released a verse on his hit single ‘My Way’ here, stamping the Jersey artist as the one to watch. Take a look below as Fetty spoke with The Fader about working with Drake and read the full story here.

The turnaround was quick—on Monday morning footage of Drake sitting in front of a mic while Fetty Wap’s “My Way” played in the background surfaced on Instagram; by Tuesday night a finished version of the remix had been uploaded to Soundcloud. In the hours between, Fetty stopped by The FADER’s New York office, and walked us through how the major co-sign came to be.
Drake reached out through Instagram, Fetty said. “He sent me a DM, and I sent him my number. When I landed from Tampa a couple of days ago, and as soon as I landed and turned my phone off of airplane mode, he was FaceTiming from DC where he was playing ‘My Way’ at a club. He was like, ‘Yo, I want to cut the record tonight.’ Next thing I know, I checked my email and it was there.”

On Tuesday, Fetty released several official remixes of his still-climbing single, “Trap Queen.” Explaining why he’d waited so long to add verses to the song, he said: “I don’t really reach out to nobody. I like to be my own person, I don’t like to look for handouts.”
