On Friday (August 18), the rapper sat down for a chat on the Rory & Mal podcast, throughout which he revealed that allegedly nobody from TDE confirmed as much as the discharge occasion for his newest album, Porches.
“That’s what I assumed was going to be the weirdest half,” he stated, when Rory requested what he thought could be taking place at his album launch occasion. “However it ended up not being as unhealthy. I had a launch occasion, and no one confirmed up from the label, so…”
When the hosts requested, once more, if Motive was being severe, he re-emphasized the purpose. “Ray Vaughn confirmed up — shout out to Ray Vaughn,” he stated. “I took it as, you already know, perhaps n-ggas giving me some house.”
