“He didn’t do any music on this album but ‘Ye is actually packaging my album,” Wayne previously explained to MTV News. “You probably gotta ask him because it was his idea.

What would expect a night in the club with Drake to be like? Probably a lot of “what’s your real name, and not your stripper name?” and “If Aaliyah was here we would have matching friendship bracelets” talk.  Check out the flicks below.
