On the opening track of Nothing Was The Same called "Tuscan Leather," Drake namedrops Ellen DeGeneres on the lines:
"Yeah, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather smelling like a brick
Degenerates, but even Ellen love our shit
Rich enough that I don't have to tell 'em that I'm rich
Self explanatory, you just here to spread the story, wassup"
"Tuscan Leather" is the Noah "40" Shebib-produced song that samples Whitney Houston in a variety of ways.
