Drake and PartyNextDoor released their new album, Some Se*y Songs 4 U, on February 14, 2025, via OVO Sound, Santa Anna, and Republic Records. The album has already sold 250k units in its first week, with over 50 million streams as well.
This success has made rapper Joe Budden, who runs the podcast Joe Budden Network, react to it, with Budden stating in the podcast clip that has since gone viral:
"..But I meant corpse [as in] Drake as you knew him is no longer. We in a new chapter, we in a new chapter of Drake. But that's still Drake. So, like I was telling Ish. Anything below a certain number was gon' make me look at him like, 'Ooh, okay, it's a little worse than I thought.' But 250 is respectable, especially on a collab album."
Joe Budden's comments on the rapper's album sales come after Budden voiced his approval of the album in a previous episode of the Joe Budden Network:
"I thought it was cool... if you're a Drake fan you're probably really happy... its good to see the moment... if youre a Party fan you might be disappointed... its good to hear a Drake that you're familiar with... I like the first half of this..."
