Last night, Drake took the stage at NYU's Skirball Center to talk with Elliott Wilson about his new album Nothing Was The Same. Afterward, one fan asked Drake what it was like to work with Kadir Nelson, the painter who created both the regular and deluxe versions of the cover (we interviewed him about it), and part of the response revealed the painting that inspired his cover. The piece is titled Cleaned Cotton, and it's from 2011.
