Drake raps in Arabic in New Song ‘Only You Freestyle’

21 July 2020

Drake managed to prove to us he can steal our hearts in Arabic as well.

After joining forces with DJ Khaled this week on a pair of new songs, one in which he raps in French, Drake wasn’t going to stop at 1 language. He just released a new song today with British rapper Headie One titled “Only You Freestyle,” and dropped some Arabic bars on the song.

“Arabic ting tells me I look like Youssef, look like Hamza…. Habibti please, ana akeed, inti wa ana ahla”  he raps. With that line, Drake managed to prove to us that he’s multi-lingual smooth; “ana akeed, inti wa ana ahla” translates to “I’m certain you and I look better together.”

Drake previously recognized his Arab features in an Instagram post back in 2015 from his visit to Dubai, where he admitted to looking like Sheikh Mansoor Bin Mohammed Al-Maktoum, jokingly stating that he was his “long lost brother.”
