“No, I get heavy on a couple of joints, but this is more about me and Serena,” he says. “I collect!” Graham chimes in, seemingly unsurprised that her son shares his feelings in song.

“It’s funny because when I make songs about women, I also make songs for them. So I know what kind of song to make. If I’m going to talk about them, at least I’m going to give them the honor of making them a song that they’re going to like,” Drake says in the video. “I know Serena very well and I know she’ll hear it loud and clear, but don’t hate me for it because he’s carefree.”
