“I do. I want to inspire people while I’m alive.
“Listen, to me, man, a legend is someone that really inspires the world. “Someone that inspires, that you want to be like.
“Like, ‘Yeah, I want to be like that guy. He did a great job.’
“And normally, to me, legends have a social impact too, that goes beyond music.
“It’s like full vibe with your personality, they vibe with way you think, with your thoughts.
Professing his love for the 33-year-old hip-hop star, he added: “To me, Drake is a legend. He has broken a lot of records, and I think he keeps it real.
