Drake's new song has sparked a firestorm of controversy. October's Very Own appeared as a guest on the 100th edition of "The Fri Yiy Show" on SiriusXM's Sound 42 on Friday night, where he performed his new song "Rescue Me," that he'd earlier revealed on Instagram.
“I need someone to be patient with me / Someone to get money with, not take it from me / They don’t even need to be as famous as me,” he sings on the BNYX-produced song. “Come and rescue me / Take me out the club, take me out the trap / Take me off the market, take me off the map.”

The track includes a soundbite from Kim Kardashian's 2021 final season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," in which she reveals her mother Kris Jenner that she intends to divorce Kanye West. “I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” says Kim.
It's an appropriate decision given that Drake allegedly hooked up with Kim, which she has denied. During Drake's spat with Kanye, the allegations were also a source of dispute.
On an interview on "Drink Champs" in November 2021, Ye affirmed that Kim had never slept with Drake, but accused Drake of implying differently. “You acted like you did,” he said. “It’s like somebody throwing a marble and hiding their hand.”
Drake might sing his divisive track for the very first time this weekend at Raleigh's Dreamville Festival. On Sunday night, he will cap off the event with J. Cole.
