Yung Miami is keeping it light and playful—calling out Drake with love, emphasizing their real relationship while riding a massive chart moment with 'Spend Dat.' She's positioning herself as the summer's breakout star who genuinely just wants to work with her favorite rapper.
Sources close to the situation say Drake's team has been flooded with collaboration requests since his Kendrick Lamar feud reignited interest in his features. Word is he's become increasingly selective about which artists he responds to, leaving plenty of rappers in Yung Miami's exact position: publicly pleading while privately fuming.
Yung Miami previously DM'd Drake for 'Take Me to Chanel' and got left on read—he only liked the message. Her current single 'Spend Dat' sits at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as of June 29, 2026. She made her plea during a Complex red carpet interview at the 2026 BET Awards on June 28.
Drake's silence speaks volumes, but Yung Miami just turned a ghosting into a headline-grabbing moment. Whether Iceman ever picks up remains to be seen—but she's certainly not letting him ignore her in peace.
Yung Miami is done playing it cool about Drake ignoring her calls. During a Complex red carpet interview at Sunday night's 2026 BET Awards at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, the former City Girl didn't hold back when asked who she wants on the remix for her breakout hit 'Spend Dat.' "Champagne Papi. You know we gotta call Drake," she said, according to Billboard.
"Iceman. I want Iceman! Iceman, pick up the phone." The public plea comes just days after she joked about being left on read when she previously tried to get the Toronto superstar on her single 'Take Me to Chanel.' This isn't the first time Yung Miami has put in the work to connect with Drake.
She revealed earlier this month that she reached out during what she described as a difficult period for him, explaining to Cam Newton: "I remember DM'ing him, but that was at the time when he was going through all his sh–. And when people going through they sh–, like, I get it, I understand." But her patience has clearly worn thin. She recounted the specific rejection with frustration: "I DM'd him like, 'Drake, I think you'll sound good on Take Me to Chanel.' He just liked the message — like come on, now, don't do that!
Drake, don't do that now 'cause when you called me I was there!" The shade was real. Despite Drake's apparent disinterest, Yung Miami is having a legitimate moment with 'Spend Dat.' The track currently sits at No. 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart as of this week. More impressively, she performed it on a float during the New York Knicks championship parade—because the team loves the song so much and even Fabolous put his own spin on it with help from content creator Lowkey Mar as the franchise closed in on its first title in 53 years.
That's not just viral success; that's cultural penetration. Drake, for his part, hasn't publicly responded to Yung Miami's repeated calls or her increasingly pointed requests. Given that 'Spend Dat' is proving to be a genuine contender for song of the summer, one has to wonder whether Drake is missing an obvious collaboration—or if he's calculated that staying silent keeps him relevant in the conversation either way.
Either way, Yung Miami just turned a remix request into must-watch television. Whether Iceman ever deigns to answer remains the question on everyone's lips.
