While in Toronto earlier this week for his 4th annual OVO Fest, Drake spoke on the impending Big Tymers reunion and album in an interview with MTV.
Initially announced by Birdman that Drake and Lil Wayne would round out a new lineup as the Big Tymers, his former partner Mannie Fresh has since signed on to work on the project. Though Drake says he, "Didn’t get the phone call" about Mannie's inclusion, the Torono rapper was excited to hear the news. "I’m sure I’ll be involved," he says. "Mannie Fresh is an incredible guy and of course Birdman is one of a kind."
Drake also shot down the negative comments he got when Birdman called him and Weezy the "new" Big Tymers. "I think I heard about it or watched some of it, and then I got people being like, ‘You’ll never be a Big Tymer, your shit is terrible,' just going off on me. I’m not the one being like, ‘Oh, I’m a new Big Tymer.'"
Drake's third album Nothing Was the Same will be released September 17.
