Drake ‘Only You Freestyle’: Arabic translation revealed

In Drake’s ‘Only You Freestyle’, he says:

“Arabic ting told me that I look like Yusuf, look like Hamza / Habibti please, ana akeed inta wa ana ahla [sic].”

Loosely translated into English, this means:

“My love, please, I’m sure you and I look better together.”

Why does Drake rap in Arabic in ‘Only You Freestyle’?

Drake is no stranger to using different languages in his songs, after previously singing in French in his recent bop ‘Greece’, as well as talking in Spanish in his 2018 song ‘MIA’.

He’s also used some Arabic words in tracks before, including in his track ‘Portland’, in 2017.

However, fans have joked about his recent lyrics being pointed at his former flame Rihanna, in particular, after she split from her Saudi billionaire boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, in January this year.

A number of people took to Twitter to make links between the lyrics and his ex-beau, with one writing: "Rihanna date an Arabian and drake learns Arabic!!! Make sure the woman you love is pushing you to greatness [sic].”

"Someone said Drake seen Rihanna dating that saudi billionaire & decided to go off in Arabic [laughing emoji] [sic],” joked another.
