He needs to chill out with that house he has out there. There's just too much going on."
The DraftKings sit-down took place at SXSW last month, so it’s unclear if OBJ is still kicking it with Drake on a regular basis. This tweet indicates he's still putting in work while living in his house:
But regardless of whether he's still living with Drake or not, he was in his house while he was recording Views, so he’s probably one of the few people who has actually heard it. Jealous?
