It took her some time but Oprah Winfrey has finally voiced her opinion of the new song by Lil Yachty, DaBaby, and Drake titled after her.

Several weeks ago, Lil Yachty and DaBaby released the music video for their new collaboration “Oprah’s Bank Account,” bringing Drake along for the ride as a featured guest. The flick was hilarious, spanning almost ten-minutes-long and showing all three artists goofing around in an Oprah parody show. Lil Yachty assumed the role of “Boprah,” interviewing his guests and getting them to open up about everything. 

Up until this point, Oprah had not publicly commented on the song’s release, but now she is stating that she is a big fan of the concept.

“I love it. I love it. I loveeeeee it! Yes, I love it,” said Oprah excitedly to the Associated Press. “I haven’t seen the video but it’s nice to be in a Drake song no matter what — especially for your bank account, OK!”

Little does she know, Drake is only a featured artist on the song. The track is actually credited to Lil Yachty and DaBaby and is expected to appear on the upcoming Lil Boat 3 project. 

Are you surprised that Oprah actually likes the song? Do you think she’s even heard it?

Drake is a bonafide hitmaker and that’s a fact you can not dispute now. Whether or not you enjoy Drake, the rapper has officially surpassed every single artist or group on the Billboard Hot 100 for most entries ever. This arrives a week after Drake joined Lil Yachty on “Oprah’s Bank Account” that debuted at 89 on the Hot 100. Drake officially has more hits than the cast of Glee who he tied after the release of Future’s “Life Is Good.” With 208 official entries to his name, the Canadian rapper will continue to rack up the hits in the months to follow.

Although the last few entries from Drake have been off the strength of his features, The Boy is readying a new project that may or may not drop this year. Last week, he hopped on Instagram Live with Dabbing Granny where he revealed that he had been locked in the studio overnight working on his new album. After asking when it might see the light of day, Drake revealed that he would drop it whenever it’s ready. However, given the release of his latest “leaks” including “Chicago Freestyle” and “When To Say When,” as well as late December’s “War”, it seems like he has already begun the rollout.

Peep the list of most Hot 100 entries below.

When speaking to Complex about his new single, “Oprah’s Bank Account”, Lil Yachty said, “I think the song’s so good and catchy, my fans will appreciate it. That’s the most important thing.” He wasn’t wrong. The first offering off his next album, Lil Boat 3, features Drake and DaBaby, and it’s an undeniable bop. Its got a sing-songy hook and a bubblegum beat. Yachty managed to secure these heavy-hitters to assist him on the track, but failed to get squeezed into the schedule of someone else who could have added an uplifting touch: Lizzo. Regardless, we’re fully satisfied with the final product. 

It even came accompanied by a creative and hilarious music video. Yachty takes on the role of an Oprah-esque talk show host/self care guru. Drake and DaBaby are brought into the female mogul’s bizarre world of branding. All three of the rappers must have had a good time filming this playful video and proof of this is seen in the Triller clip they recorded on set too. 

TikTok and Triller have become effective mediums for artists to promote their songs. If they dance along to their jams, fans might catch the bug and start doing it themselves, potentially setting off a chain of viral videos. Megan Thee Stallion just tried to capitalize off this formula by starting a sexy dance challenge for her new single, “Captain Hook”. Lil Yachty looks to be doing the same. He grabbed Drake and DaBaby to get jiggy to their collab for Triller purposes. Watch below. 

Appearing as a highlight on the latest Quality Control compilation project, Lil Yachty is vying to shake things up on his own, which he commenced yesterday by releasing a hilarious video for his new single “Oprah’s Bank Account” with DaBaby and Drake. The video sees him dressing up in drag and playing the role of Boprah, hosting a fictional talk show and giving each audience member a boat as a parting gift. It was only a matter of time before this announcement came but, alas, here we are with news that Lil Boat 3 is officially confirmed. 

On the anniversary of his first Lil Boat project, Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty released his latest single and, on the same day, he told the world that we could expect some more new music from him imminently. 

“Lil Boat 3, coming soon,” wrote the creative red-haired recording artist. “Thank you for your patience. Please enjoy the new single ‘Oprah’s Bank Account.'”

At the bottom of the graphic, both album artworks are displayed for Lil Boat and Lil Boat 2, with a question mark placed over a third placeholder. We wouldn’t be surprised if he sticks with a nautical theme for this one, continuing a string of excellent cover artworks for Lil Yachty and ending the trilogy with a bang. One question remains though: will LB3 arrive before or after his collaborative project with Tee Grizzley?

Are you excited about this new album after hearing “Oprah’s Bank Account?”

Lil Yachty gifted us with a new single today, the first off of his forthcoming project, Lil Boat 3. “Oprah’s Bank Account” is an upbeat bop with Drake and DaBaby who also appear in the music video but apparently, the single was originally supposed to feature Lizzo.

Speaking to Complex, Lil Yachty explained that the single is meant for his fans to kick off the campaign for his forthcoming project. “I think the song’s so good and catchy, my fans will appreciate it. That’s the most important thing,” he said. “My album’s done. My album is coming very soon. I haven’t spoken on it yet, but it’s coming. It’s ending the trilogy to my Lil Boat series.”

He continued to reveal that DaBaby and Drake ended up on the song by accident after he never heard back from Lizzo. “I did the song by myself. DaBaby, he had a meet and greet in Atlanta, and I went. I didn’t necessarily know he was going to like this song or want to get on it. I didn’t play it for him and he hadn’t heard it. But I hung out with him for three or four hours there, and I was like, “You want to go to the studio?” He came and I played it, and he loved it,” he said.

“It’s so crazy because I originally wanted to put Lizzo on it,” he continued. “I sent it to her, and I don’t want to say she didn’t like it, because she never got back to me on it, which was cool. I understand people are busy. And then I posted a snippet on my finsta. Drake follows my finsta, which is crazy. And he was like, “Yo, this is dope,” which blew my mind. Of course that’s the homie, but him showing love like that, [was cool]. Then he [told me to] send it through. I didn’t know he was serious, but he got on it.”

As fitting as Lizzo would’ve been on the track, it seems like the addition of Drake and DaBaby will make this song a certified banger as we enter the spring. Keep your eyes peeled for Lil Boat 3. 

This year in music is about to get a whole lot even more impressive after this major announcement from Atlanta stand-out Lil Yachty.

After taking some time away from releasing new material, the 22-year-old Quality Control signee is ready to run up his tab again and he’s kicking things off in the next few minutes, announcing the release of his new single “Oprah’s Bank Account” with two of rap’s biggest sensations of the moment.

Showing off the cover artwork for the new single, which is sure to include lots of cash-flexing from Lil Boat and his compadres, the red-haired rapper celebrated the anniversary of his debut commercial mixtape’s release. 

“VIDEO IN AN HOUR…. HAPPY LIL BOAT ANNIVERSARY,” wrote Lil Yachty on his social media accounts. The project was released four years ago today.

Thankfully, we won’t have to wait too long to hear (and see) what the exciting bubblegum rapper has been working on. We recently heard him rhyme alongside Lil Keed and Lil Gotit on a collaborative tape with Zaytoven but this looks to be a complete return to form for Boat. Do you think he’ll be shaking up the rap scene and changing people’s opinions with this upcoming single or is it destined to be another over-hyped track? You decide.
