In the world of rap, few names carry the weight of Drake. As one of the most successful artists globally, his presence alone can make even fellow stars pause. That’s why it’s interesting to hear U.K. rapper Central Cee recently describe how he feels “like a little fish” when around Drake.
It’s easy to think that rappers, who are often surrounded by money and fame, all operate on the same level. But as Central Cee points out, there are degrees of influence and wealth in the industry that can surprise even seasoned artists. His humorous and candid reflections give us a rare glimpse into the balance of respect, admiration, and friendly competition that exists in the rap world.
Additionally, understanding these interactions helps fans see beyond the music. It’s a reminder that collaborations like “Which One” and freestyles like “On The Radar” aren’t just about creating hits; they’re also moments of connection between artists navigating fame, wealth, and artistic growth.
Central Cee admits feeling “Like a Little Fish” around Drake
During a recent interview with Rambo Is Talking, Central Cee shared a funny yet insightful observation about hanging out with Drake. When asked about a time he felt “broke” around someone, he revealed:
"Yeah, I think that it's good to stay around people like that," Central Cee said. "I stay around people like that, bro. Oh, rappers? No, I can't lie... I can't lie. Obviously, around Drake, I feel like a little fish. He's gone."
The rapper also added some context about the circles Drake moves in: "It's definitely not the rappers, though. It's the billionaires. The man's just around some sassy billionaires. You don't even know what they're doing. They got hospitals, they own hospitals and mad things."
This candid insight is not only funny but also revealing. It highlights the vast financial landscape in hip-hop and the entertainment industry, where even rising stars like Central Cee can feel dwarfed by Drake’s influence and network.
Collaborations, leaks, and future projects
Central Cee and Drake recently teamed up for “Which One,” potentially appearing on Drake’s upcoming album, ICEMAN. Fans are also buzzing about their unreleased track, often called “Triumph Tower,” which leaked online.
These collaborations show the creative chemistry between the two artists. Even with jokes about feeling “like a little fish,” it’s clear that Central Cee is thriving alongside one of hip-hop’s biggest names.
Their dynamic reflects the mix of talent, friendship, and mutual respect that drives some of today’s most exciting music in rap and hip-hop culture.
