Sad! Sade Turns Down Drake
Rapper Drake was hoping to collaborate with talented singer-songwriter Sade, but Sade turned the former Degrassi star down!
Not surprising, but still sorta sad!
"Her brand is always protected," tells Drake. "That's why, other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand. It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up."
Makes sense to us!
He continued justifying his rejection: "I personally feel we could have done something amazing. But I don't think she really knows who I am, really, my genre of music. I put it out there. It was more of a hopeful thing. It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping."
What do U think - would you eventually like to hear a Drake/Sade duet?

I really couldnt see this happening… ever
UM NO IWOULD NOT WANT TO HEAR A DUET WITH THEM 2 HE IS WAY TOOOOO GOOD FOR I SERIOUSLY DONT KNOW HOW SHE EVEN SOLD 1 CD. I HATED RAP B4 DRAKE CAME OUT BUT HE IS TOOO GOOD TO IGNORE!!!
Hell no. I always wanted to hear an Aaliyah/Sade collaboration though. That would've been phenomenal.
fake(drake) is another manufactured popstar. if the fact that he is an actor is not enough proof.
they both suck who cares
ummm… that eye behind drake is really creepin me out
As much as I love these two, I actually can't imagine them doing a duet together.
so who the fuck is sade?
I wouldn't ever want to hear Drake collaborate with anyone. Sade is a legend. Drake is Mr. Right now. Smart move on Sade's part. Her fans don't want to hear that garbage Drake churns out.
i have never heard of sade. what does she sing?
hahaha he sux!!!
im glad its nothappening
ugh yea, it woulda been interesting as to what they woulda came up with
she's way too good for him, sorry
you can never compare sade to any other singer such as madonna, gaga, brittney sade give us more than music she graces us with true heart and soul. to have her sing with this rapster would be an insult.
Guys, I have a problem. Ya see, I have a big peen. Should I show it off more? Would women want to see me show it off more?
Who the fuck is Drake? Sade is the shit. She disappeared for how many years and the first work she released after all that time popped like she never went away. This Drake dude should surely relate to Mario as they both want to hitch their sinking ships to a Star.
Um, no one knows who the hell you are Drake.
drake is a horrible rapper & has nothing in common with Sade. what a disrespectful fuck to even ask to collaborate. fuckinglame!
Never heard of her? Im from the UK tho..
Good for Her. I hate when someone blows up and is all of a sudden on everybody's tracks. That's why i respect rappers like Ice Cube. He doesn't w#ore himself out and make songs with every jackass that came out with 1 good song last year.
sade is wayyyy too good for him. drake sucks!
GOOOOD! smartest move of her career if you ask me.
now if only other artist would say no to him.
And it's funny how everybody is making a big deal of this Bababooey look alike, named Drake. He hasn't even put out an album out. If you wanna see real rap talent, talking about real sh!t. Check out Tech N9ne. #1 Independent rapper (Not just a made up title, it's Fact)
who the hell is Drake??
Re: Quemical –
I agree Quemical
I KNOW this guy wasn't Bar Mitzvah'd…since when did wearing a Chai become a fashion statement???
@Stacic123 errr…Sade is from the UK too. think before you write. She was big in the 80's so your clearly a 90's baby.
Re: stacic123 – errr..Sade is from the UK too. think before you write.
Re: LovelyCup – Well said. That's all Drake is, a friggin name. Why is he even popular? Oh yea, because all the ghetto fabulous people say he is. The same people that like "step dancing," crap like that.
As a canadian who had to watch this shitty guy on a horrible teen soap opera called Degrassi, let me tell you that the less we see of him the better.
Remember when he got shot and was paralyzed on the show?
Ha.
That was great.
who the fuck is drake?
drake sucks and looks like an ugly monkey. go away DRAKE!!!!
she has her brand, her style, and it sells. Don't change it…Drake is trying
to capitalize on her success…
God, why are people such haters? It is way too easy to simply dismiss Drake as being "terrible."I truly feel as if people only try to put "easy targets" down just to make themselves feel as if they have "good" taste in music. The thought process of some of you turds is so shallow. I would LOVE to see the playlists on some of you bogus losers' iTunes.
he gets it so i dont see why this is has a spot on here. not everything should be made into a damn rap song
What's with the love fest for Drake? Unless his mixed tapes are amazing I don't get it. His are okay at best but not something to fall all over yourself for. Sade is a legend and doesn't need anyone to help her sell albums, tickets or venues so what would be the upside for her to work with him? She already relevant she doesn't need to crossover she's already ascended.
ummm wouldn't that be like putting a water painting kindergartner in the same room with a picasso? and if not mistaken doesn't he use the line "best i ever had" in his song like a hundred times to make up for the lack of lyrical imagination? just sayin",
HELL TO THE NAWWWW!!!! SADE DONT WANNA COLLAB WITH A 2 BIT RAPPER. THAT BOY IS GONE SOON ENUFF. RAPPERS ARE A DIME A DOZEN. ANYONE CAN TALK FOR A LIVING BUT SINGING IS A TASK DRAKE NEEDS TO RE-TRAIN. BESIDES, HE'S JUST A LAME CHILD ACTOR FROM DEGRASSI. PROOF HE'S JUST PRETENDING TO BE A MUSICIAN. DUDE IS JUST PLAYIN A CHARACTER. NOT LIKE HE'S REAL, LMAO.
SAD???? Is that what Perez just said? This clearly tell me you dont know much about music. Why would Sade even put a rapper on her songs? She is above everyone out there. Why do you think she make one album every ten years and still debut at No. 1? Her audience are people who have taste in music…….does Drake and Sade even belong in one sentence?…Lets see…which is more timeless classic songs
1. Smooth Operator
2. Best I Ever Had?
5 years from now everyone will know who Drake or what the hell his song is about?
I guess she didn't get the memo on Drake. It could have been great. Perhaps she'll reconsider. The old gaurd often supports the young coming up.
A Drake and Sade collabo? That would've been nice..
drake's jewish?
absolutely not. Sade is a classic. she need not do what so many other's do (which are memes). it is obnoxious, that everyone just copies everyone else. same sound, same crappy auto-tune shit.
Sade is simply fine the way she is.

Drake sucks and has a big head.
NO WAY!!!!
Sade is an incredibly talented woman. To think that Drake, more worthless than Sade's SHIT, would ask her to do a duet with him is a JOKE.
No… I like Drake the actor, Aubrey something is his real name. he was on Degrassi. Love that show for some reason, but no. Sade is perfect the way she performs. She needs no one or nothing to be added to her style.
Re: Chelsea – ROFLMAO…Good eye Chelsea..(pun intended)..LOL
Re: LadyPaul56 – actually drake is jewish. its from his moms side and he has been Bar Mitzvah'd . and people need to realize drake is also a singer who has a soft voice like sade and has been doing been singing and rapping since 07 and has a very popular mixtape series so he is no rookie and if you all would listen to his early music you would know he is actually a great artist who works hard and has great lyricism . he only raps what he knows .
Re: stacic123 –
So is she…
Re: the thing is… –
What the fuck is "step dancing"?
I for one am not surprised. DRAKE……………..reallly, really! I could see someone like Prince but DRAKE, YUCK!! Sade does not need anyone but her band & herself. That wouldv'e been a horrendous idea!!!
Why would she. Rap is not music, it's software, beats and rhymes.
drake suckssssssssss so hard, he represents many of the things i hate about modern pop music. Sade, on the other hand, is a beautiful, sensual genius who should have a gold casting made of her and placed in my heart forever.
love,
a
Re: tymiawes – i so agree with what you're saying. Drake is definitely an up and coming artist. but i do believe that this was a bad part on Drake's part. since he clearly hasn't been around for TOO long, and isn't widely known, being paired up with a legend.. well. he's just not ready. as much as i find his lyricism and everything to be amazing, he's just not ready. baby steps.
SADE -one of the greatest talents on earth and DRAKE WHO
Drake, you're not good enough to even warrant this little thought in your mind.
it will need happen.Sade isn't one of these no talent one hit wonder Disney tarts that needs to duet with another one and done "hype hop" douche bags like this Drake
Sade has talent and doesn't need to lower herself to sell a few more records to the moron tweens of America
Check out the New York Journal of Style and Medicine, on www.nyjsm.com
Re: LadyPaul56 – He was Bar Mitvah'd. His mother's Jewish. He was raised Jewish.
Uhm, no. I would not want to see Sade do a duet with "Drake," or whoever the fuck he is. I like Sade doing her own music just fine. And if she's gonna duet with someone let it be at the standards she holds for her own music. Not the fuckery that everyone is doing now. team sade!
Re: domjeamou –
I'm sorry, but you trying to rip on people's musical taste based on them laughing at this assclown being rejected by Sade proves your musical taste isn't all that great either fuckface. I'm sorry, you wanna act like a music elistist and then try to back this dude up? Fail. The only band that did Sade's music justice and even better than her was Deftones version of No ordinary Love. Now "Thats" a fucking collab I'd wanna see. Chino and Sade…mmmm… Drake and Sade? Wrecked!
The reason why Sade turned down Drake is because they're two completely different artists, i think that might even kinda ruin her music, and also, she doesn't want to become a sellout like him. That's why not too many people know about her appearently, which is fine. Pop culture is what gets the audience to hear but do they really listen?
Drake Sucks
Re: LadyPaul56 – His mother is Jewish so shut it.
Folks who dont know who Sade is, make me giggle..
Re: Btheproduct –
Well she must be shit then..Ive never heard of her.
um Sade is correct within her own right. she does and has stood out from the rest. sold many, muncho records!
lol oh well :p
Sad?! Sade has been around in the music business for almost 30 years, and this 'Drake' has been around for a couple of years. She doesn't have to lower herself to do 'collaborations with the flavor of the week' since she is the most successful solo female artist in British history………………
You can tell the average age demographics on this site who say they never heard of Sade and to quit hating on Drake. LOL Sade has won 3 Grammy awards, and a slew of others. This kid will never be on her level, and none of you are going to remember his name in 30 years………….
I have nothing against Drake. But the collaboration would have been a disaster. Now, Sade collaborating with D'Angelo= MASTERPIECE!
SAD?? NO!! THANK GOD! Drake sucks!!! All his music sounds the same. It's almost like someone ghostwrites for him. GOOD DECISION SADE, STAY AWAY! YOUR A TRUE ARTIST.
she's too classy for this rap crap!! as if he thought he had a chance!!
Let's keep this short and to the point: Sade is class. Complete total class with great vocals and production and talent. Drake: no talent hack who is riding the hip hop train for his 5 minutes of notoriety before he gets arrested for spousal abuse or drugs. So a duet? No. Not possible. Not even a possibility. Drake go back to Degrassi. Where you belong in a fake land with no ability to inspire the masses. Sade FOREVER!!!!
Sade mostly sings slow love songs. She's back now after a 10 year break. Her CDs sold like crazy. Older people love her stuff, not my kind of music. But I know enough of her that you don't mess with her music. Drake would F up her image. Leave it alone honey.
Why is this sad, Perez? She's a true artist - Drake, not so much.
I hope NEVER ever. Sade is unique, there are thousands of Drakes.
That was very smart of her!!! Sade is a class act, she can record an album every ten years and people will still buy her albums-she is timeless. On the other hand, Drake is a here today, gone tomorrow kind of artist. No one will remember his shiz in 20 years.
Sade would never lower herself to collaborating with someone who raps about making you pu**y whistle…..
SEEMS LIKE ALL OF THESE ARTIST WANT TO DO A DUET. CHECK OUT SOME OF THEIR SONGS. THEY CAN'T WVEN WRITE SONGS. HE PROBABLY KNOW THAT SADE IS A GOLD MINE WHEY HER CD DROPPED AND MADE A MINT. DRAKE IS ANOTHER JAY-Z FAKE AND WANT 2 RIDE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S FAME/NAME
THEY R NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE. DIFFERENT TYPE OF MUSIC
id be more into seeing a drake and ME duet
She doesn´t have to accept every collaboration request. Leave it to the rapsters. And… If some of you guys never listened to Sade´s stuff, she´s amazing if you´re looking for some REAL music.
Re: stacic123 – No actually..then you must be shit..if you have not heard of her. Like seriously?
for those of you that do not know who Sade is, she is one of the most incredible performers of our day, she's had records coming out since the 80s and she's still graceful and gorgeous and talented as ever. People need to get some musical taste my god. Drake- maybe you should refer Sade to your classics like "bedrock" or "forever" and that will changer her mind. Ugh you are a joke.
who ever thinks DRAKE is the SHIT needs to get a life… hes nothing but a re run of gay ass rap he ruins the name of rap … rappers that are actually good are like pac and biggie .. wtf is wayne and drake honestly? u wanna hear rap go listen to immortal technique his shits actually about real life shit unlike these money hungry dumbasses LEARN TO RAP .. then come to sade .. and for those who dont know sade.. wow get a life u obvi dont know anything about music if u dont know about her..
