Fat Joe Reveals Drake Begged To Be On The “All The Way Up” Remix

Fat Joe recalls the time Drake once begged to be on the remix for his track “All The Way Up.”

“Drake FaceTimed me three times trying to get on ‘All The Way Up,’” Fat Joe revealed on an upcoming episode of the Rap Radar podcast, hosted by Brian “B. Dot” Miller and Elliott Wilson.

“Three times. Middle of the night. ‘Send me the instrumental, send me the instrumental, send me the instrumental.’ I wish I would’ve got Drake on there, right? But the fact of all the history of me and Jay-Z, I was like ‘It gotta be just me and Jay-Z.’”

The 53-year-old then elaborated on having the Brooklyn native on the braggadocious remix.

“I said because anybody who really knows, I been doing this for Hip-Hop. My whole life. I gave my life to Hip-Hop, forreal forreal. So I was like, anybody who truly understands, this is the moment. It ain’t just gon’ be a posse cut… And this the last time Drake ever asked me to do a song,” he laughed.

He continued to detail, “Drake gotta forgive me, I’m like damn man please throw me a frisbee… ‘All The Way Up’ was that big that we had the best, the biggest…50 Cent…everybody you can fu**kin name that’s a monster was hitting us up like ‘Yo, send the pro-tools.’”

“All The Way Up” was initially released in March 2016 with Fat Joe, Remy Ma, and French Montana. The party-ready anthem went on to be nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song at the 59th annual Grammy Awards.
