Lil Yachty Recruits Drake and DaBaby for ‘Oprah’s Bank Account’
Today 22-year-old Grammy-nominated artist Lil Yachty released “Oprah’s Bank Account (featuring Drake and DaBaby)” from his upcoming album, Lil Boat 3, due this spring. Written by Yachty, the song was produced by EarlOnTheBeat and the video was directed by Director X. Filmed in Toronto and Atlanta, the video concept originated from Lil Yachty, who also penned the skits and (almost) mastered walking in hose and heels.
In the video, Drake has his AHA moment discussing his LSC (light-skinned capability) with Boprah. Drake also enlightens the audience as he takes the next right step by embracing the new generation of rappers, stating he “loves all the little ditties, all the little jingles that the kids are doing,” and praising Lil Yacchhy for being at “the forefront of that movement of music that should be forgotten about.”
Later, DaBaby reveals he is living his best life and illuminates Boprah on where we are going when he says ‘let’s goooooo’ and on the art of making an album sound like one whole song (“make every damn song like an ongoing song – you never have to make another song again,” he explains).
“Oprah’s Bank Account” is reminiscent of Yachty’s installment of his 2016 Lil Boat series, which first cast light on his high notes and unique melodies. The singer, rapper, producer, creative designer, branding genius and fashion icon currently boasts 3.3 billion streams.
