Drake has become the first artist to ever debut three songs in the top three spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and he invited Bow Wow to help him celebrate the achievement. Just two weeks ago, Drake dropped Scary Hours 2, a 3-track EP that took the top three spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. While celebrating the historic moment, the Toronto-born rapper credited Bow Wow for paving the way for his successful career.

Drake documented his celebration in his Instagram story as Bow Wow congratulated him on breaking the Billboard record. The two were shown making a toast as Drake flaunted his customized Billboard chart cake and golden “1, 2, 3” balloons.

He made sure to give Bow Wow his flowers as a young rapper who took off in the early 2000s, making way for artists like Drake and allowing them to flourish. “I didn’t know how else to bring in 1, 2, 3. I had to link with Wizzle,” he said about Bow Wow. “Without him, there wouldn’t be no me.”

Out of the top three songs, “What’s Next” took the number one spot. The EP was dropped as fans await Drake’s next album, Certified Lover Boy, which was set to release in January after first being teased last October. The date has since been postponed while Drake recovers from knee surgery.

Fans are proud of the rapper for hitting yet another milestone in his career. They’re also glad that Drake took the time to show respect to Bow Wow and acknowledge the role he played in the music industry. Many agree that Drake and others wouldn’t be as successful if it weren’t for Bow Wow.

Drake has proven that he’s still dominating music after over a decade in the business, and fans can’t wait to hear what he has in store on his upcoming album. In the meantime, stream Scary Hours 2, available now all on music streaming platforms.
