Benny The Butcher Previews Drake Collaboration, Listen To A Snippet

Back in July of last year, Benny The Butcher tweeted that he had sent Drake a record and immediately, people got hyped and wondered what that kind of record sounded like. It took a few weeks for Benny to confirm that he got a verse back and was excited to put it out.

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.

Of course, months passed and there was no sight of it. When the track list for The Plugs I Met 2 dropped, people were disappointed to see that the record wasn’t on it (even though there was no confirmation about it being produced by Harry Fraud). In response, Benny noted the importance of timing, saying “that’s m*therf*ckin Drake, Aubrey Graham, so even if you got a record with him, you can’t just throw it out”.

Earlier tonight at The Summer Smash Festival, Benny performed and he played the collaboration for the first time. You can hear a few bars of Drake’s verse before Benny cuts it off and raps part of his own verse. Check it out below.
