“Wouldn’t be anywhere without this guy real shit,” Drake captioned a photo of the “Into You” rapper. “@myfabolouslife was really just taking in how much you influenced everything for me.”

A grateful Fabolous responded to Drake’s appreciation post by reposting him and adding the prayer hand, flowers, and heart emojis.
This is not the first time Drake has honored Loso. Back in 2018, he celebrated his 32nd birthday by dressing as Fabolous in a blue bandana and Lakers jersey from the “Trade It All” music video.

They collaborated a couple times in the past on a 2009 remix to Fabolous’ “Throw It in the Bag” and Chris Brown’s “Deuces (Remix)” in 2010.
In addition to Fabolous, the “Rich Flex” rapper showed love to another 2000s-era act, 112.
“Also wouldn’t be shit without this,” he captioned a photo of the R&B group’s 1996 debut album cover.
