Let Craig David fill you in on his upcoming agenda. During a recent pit stop at BBC 1Xtra radio (Dec. 8), the British crooner — who lit up the 2000s with his infectious hits “Fill Me In” and “7 Days” — teased one of his potential collaborations: a joint project with Drake.
“When I saw Drake in this restaurant [in Miami], we walked up to each other and there was this moment when I was like, ‘Oh man that tune is all I’m listening to.’ And he was like, ‘Man I need to call my producer, if I can tell him right now that I’m with you, Born to Do It! The tunes you have.’ And this was kicking off,” he recalled of meeting Drake, who was coincidentally mistaken for David this summer at Wimbledon.

The “When the Bassline Drop” singer continued: “When the time is right, when it’s really right, and there’s the Craig David/Drake mixtape, I promise you, not on a ‘get gas, beg a man to be on his record’ kind of thing, because he’s the hottest thing right now. But he’d easily be like, ‘Yeah, man, I want to do that.'”
Drizzy isn’t the only one who apparently stans for David: Justin Bieber sampled “Fill Me In” for his 2013 jam “Recovery.”
