Drake the name is one that 21st century urban global entertainment would not quickly be dismissive of. 170 award nominations, 36 wins including a Grammy for best rap album 2years ago, sold out concerts the world over, records on the charts. Drake is a force. Against this, with confidence, Drake reached out to Sade Adu for a musical collaboration Sade, mind you is not exactly the most popular music making name on the lips of today's youth. So Drake with 25m followers on twitter probably thought he was doing Sade with 121k followers, a favour with the offer of a joint project The request for the collaboration made news in Hollywood but the real news was came with Sade's rejection of the offer. Sade and her management didn't in anyway see the fit. Sade's world was different they thought. Her pedigree, her status, her ideals, her market, her strategy, her person just had little to get off Drake, regardless of his hype. I could summarize the lengthy respectful letter of rejection in a sentence for you in pidgin English. "Drake, No vex, Sade no be your mate. We no dey do any collabo" She wasn't about to loose the essence of her brand because this young man came with the heat of the moment. Let's face it. A lot of us need the Sade mentality. We need to check to confirm that our sense of worth is not evaluated by the swinging up and down values around us. Social acceptance an money clearly are faulty parameters for evaluation. Your pedigree, your vision, your positioning, ideals, values, your respect stands independent of who made the forbes list or whose buzzing. You can't put a prize tag on these assets We must remember this especially when dealing with low times. Seen old men shamelessly ass kissing small boys for the sake of hand downs. Sad case of calling the cow uncle for a little beef to come your way. Mistake this not for arrogance please just a reminder that world standards and rough times shouldn't define your worth

Sade is not wise!!!

I presume not

Finally a well constructed sentence though off point

Most people would say this but surely they are wrong. Money is not everything and Shade knows this. Besides Drake and all his Illuminati members have quite a
negative record/reputation and not every musician out there especially the God fearing ones are crazy about being a part of them and what they symbolise.

okay weyrey

Drake and Sade, sleep and death. Wetin drake chop sef? Sade was and still is a seminal artist. The only artist to release an album once in a decade and still hit the heights. It's not by twitter followers. The quality gulf between the Shade brand and Drake is so large that I can only thank Goodness that she didn't stoop low. For those that don't know Sade well, never mind about this article, just forget you ever read it, it's not meant for you. Sade that was winning Grammy' before Drake was born and whose music will remain relevant long after Drake dies. It's just like comparing Justin Bieber to Bob Dylan (I know a lot of folks know zilch about Dylan) because Beiber has more twitter followers. These are people who charted new courses for commercial music as we know it today
