Drake has said he intends to remain part of Lil' Wayne's Young Money stable “forever”.
There has been speculation over the rapper's relationship with the label in recent weeks after he chose to sit out a place on Lil' Wayne's I Am Still Music tour.
But appearing alongside his mentor at a gig in Washington DC earlier this week, Drake reaffirmed his allegiance and said he was busy working on his second album, reports MTV News.
He told the crowd: "You see today, when I landed in DC and I got off the plane, this n*gga looked me in my eyes and he asked me, 'Did you drop out of Young Money?'
“And I looked him right back in his eyes and I said, 'Boy, are you out your motherf*cking mind?!' Man, I want this sh-t forever.”
Drake's follow-up to his 2010 debut album 'Thank Me Later' will be called 'Take Care'.
