The Yung Miami Drake collab that never happened is back in the news. She told Hot 97 on October 23, 2026 that Drake never responded when she asked him to join the "Spend Dat" remix. She says she would have preferred a simple no to being left on read. Here's what she said, her three public asks, and how the two connected in 2018.

Did Drake Really Leave Yung Miami on Read?

According to her Hot 97 interview, yes. Drake never replied to her request for a verse on the "Spend Dat" remix.

We don't have exact quotes from the interview. The "rather a no" point is a paraphrase of what was reported.

Why Is the Yung Miami and Drake Story Back Now?

Timing. Her comments landed the same day, October 23, as her debut solo album, Watch Dis!

"Spend Dat" came out in April. The official remix, with Lil Baby and Kodak Black, followed in August. She also performed the song on a float at the New York Knicks championship parade.

Yung Miami's 3 Public Asks to Drake, in Order

This wasn't a one-time comment. She has brought it up three times in public.

  1. The "Take Me to Chanel" message (June): On Cam Newton's Funky Friday show, she joked that Drake left her on read after she asked him to feature on "Take Me to Chanel." Reports say he only liked the message.
  2. The BET Awards red carpet (June): She said she wanted Drake on the "Spend Dat" remix. Her message to him: "Iceman, pick up the phone."
  3. Hot 97 (October 23): She said he never responded and that a no would have been better.

Both June moments were in 2026. We couldn't confirm the exact dates, so we've left them as "June."

How Did Yung Miami and Drake Connect in the First Place?

Through "In My Feelings" in 2018. Yung Miami and JT of City Girls were featured on the Drake hit, and it started their musical connection.

That's why this one stings a little. They have history. She has also said Drake was dealing with personal and career pressures, including his Kendrick Lamar feud, when she reached out. She called him supportive.

What This Means for the Bigger Picture

Nothing says the door is closed. But after three public asks, the next move is Drake's. We're guessing here, since nothing has been announced: a reply from him would be the biggest twist in this story.

For Yung Miami, the timing helps. People are talking about "Spend Dat" and her first solo album at the same time.
