Posted by A Drake co-sign is a powerful tool regardless of how it appears. Whether it be in the form of a feature or a mere Instagram like, Drizzy’s power of persuasion has often come to determine what makes a hit record.
The Toronto lyricist recently took to Instagram to shout out his peers French Montana and Kodak Black, who had just dropped the video for their collaborative track “Mopstick” on Tuesday (April 26), and fans were quick to note his reaction.
“Nah wtf this is ITTTTTTT,” Drake commented on the Instagram teaser French shared on his profile. The Coke Boys founder has been flooded with comments ever since, with Russ, Bandman Kevo and Antonio Brown all showering French with praise as well. The Rook-directed visual now sits at 269,0000 views and counting on YouTube.

“Mopstick” is the latest track from French’s 2021 album They Got Amnesia to be turned into a music video. The 22-track record features appearances from Doja Cat, Rick Ross, John Legend, Pop Smoke, Lil Durk, Saweetie, Fivio Foreign, Fabolous, Ty Dolla $ign, Moneybagg Yo and others. The project debuted at No. 59 on the Billboard 200 and moved around 14,000 copies.
French’s “Mopstick” visual also comes after he dropped a new track titled “Big Comfy,” which was a jingle made for Canada Dry Ginger Ale.

“Big Comfy” dropped on April 7 and was scored by Harry Fraud. Meant as a playful shout-out to staying home from the club, Montana explains in his lyrics that it’s the preferable way to spend an evening only if you have your Canada Dry Ginger Ale.
“I’m drinkin’ my Canada Dry, I’m cozy with shorty I ain’t comin’ outside,” French raps. “She said, ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve done in your life?’ I told her, ‘Watch a whole series in one night.’”
