Drake Thanks Shiggy For Boosting 'In My Feelings': "Man Got Me a No. 1 Record"

Yesterday, it was official that Drake had replaced himself at the number 1 spot of the Billboard Hot 100 as ‘In My feelings’ went on to top the charts, displacing his previous single ‘Nice For What’.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

As we know by now, the single was definitely given a boost by a dance challenge started by Instagrammer Shiggy who showcased some moves to the song in a post. The trend caught on very quick and went viral before we knew it. Celebrities from Kevin Hart to Will Smith and Ciara did their own versions of the dance on their social media channels. The song was already doing well, being one of the popular tracks from Scorpion, but the dance challenge certainly helped it along the way.

Some fans thought that Drizzy owed Shiggy a thank you for helping him with the record and that’s what the Toronto superstar has done now. Hanging out with Shiggy in L.A. last night/early morning today (July 17th), Drake shouted Shiggy in his presence on his IG stories. “Man got me a No. 1 record today. Oh my God!” he said. Shiggy reciprocated in his own Instagram stories and joked how Drake owed him a check for the same. Watch both videos above.
