Drake’s new album Scorpion is out today and Michael Jackson fans are out for a chock too.
Drake’s Scorpion features an unreleased Michael Jackson track. (we reached out to Michael Jackson’s estate for comment, and the Estate has confirmed the song was officially licensed) But wait — did Drake know Michael Jackson at all?
It’s unclear if the Canadian rapper has ever met the pop legend, and if he has, it doesn’t seem like Drake has spoken about it publicly — but Michael Jackson appears on the double album Scorpion.
The song “Don’t Matter To Me” is a previously unreleased track by Michael Jackson, to which Drake raps along. The news outlet compared the sound of the track to Justin Timberlake’s 2014 tune “Love Never Felt So Good,” in which JT dueted with Michael.
The sound is very robotic but we let you judge:
Earlier on June 28, Drake released the Scorpion tracklist, which revealed that “Don’t Matter To Me” would feature Michael Jackson and that the double album also contained collaborations with JAY-Z, Ty Dolla $ign, and Static Major. Scorpion also features the previously released singles “Nice For What,” “God’s Plan,” and “I’m Upset.”
Really? New song??? It’s a featuring on Michael’s song Human Nature!!!!

No, I don’t think Drake has ever even met Michael Jackson.
When he was on “Degrassi”, when he was then known as “Aubrey Graham”, his character “Jimmy Brooks” dressed up as Michael Jackson for a lip syncing competition.
