Yung Miami wanted Drake on the “Spend Dat” remix. According to her account, the request didn’t get a yes—or even a no.
Billboard reports that Miami said the OVO rapper “left me on read” after she tried to bring him onto the track. Her frustration was straightforward: she would have preferred a clear rejection to an unanswered message.
The official remix ultimately featured Kodak Black and Lil Baby. That gives this story two distinct parts: the collaboration Miami says she pursued and the lineup that actually made it onto the release.
A request, not a confirmed feature
Miami’s account offers a glimpse at a feature conversation that apparently went nowhere. But it isn’t evidence that Drake had agreed to record a verse, that a session was scheduled or that a completed contribution was cut from the song. None of those details appears in the supplied Billboard report.
The distinction matters. Trying to secure an artist for a remix is not the same as announcing a collaboration, and an unanswered request does not establish why the artist didn’t participate.
Miami’s complaint centers on the communication itself. As Billboard frames it, she wasn’t simply disappointed about missing out on a Drake feature; she wanted him to give her an answer. That makes the exchange a story about an attempted collaboration, not a confirmed deal falling apart.
There is no explanation from Drake in the source material provided, so his reasons remain unknown. Calling the silence a deliberate diss—or treating it as proof of a larger dispute—would go beyond what Miami’s account establishes.
Kodak Black and Lil Baby made the official cut
Whatever happened with the Drake outreach, “Spend Dat” did get its official remix, with Kodak Black and Lil Baby joining the track. Their involvement is the concrete musical outcome here, rather than the hypothetical version Miami hoped to assemble.
The contrast is the headline: Miami had another name in mind, but the released collaboration took a different shape. Her comments now put that unrealized possibility alongside the record listeners actually received.
For now, the facts are narrow but clear. Miami says her request to Drake went unanswered. Kodak Black and Lil Baby appeared on the official remix. Anything beyond that—including a motive for Drake’s silence—is still speculation.
