Drake says that he hasn't given up all hope of collaborating with Sade, even though the U.K. singer turned down the opportunity to work with the Canadian rapper.
Speaking with MTV, Drake said he understood Sade's decision. "Other people's visuals, other people's songs, stepping outside your zone can jeopardize your brand," Drake explained. "It can bring you down as opposed to bring you up."
While Drake claims he understands, he is still disappointed. "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."
Drake admits that he hopes to build his career up enough where Sade might reconsider. "It was a very early stage where I was at when I said that I was hoping. One day. Maybe after this album [Thank Me Later] comes out."
