Drake Appears on Snowd4y ‘Hey There Delilah’ Remix ‘Wah Gwan Delilah’


Nearly two decades ago, Plain White T’s released “Hey There Delilah,” about a cross-country runner that frontman Tom Higgenson met through a mutual friend but never actually dated — and no one named Delilah has known peace ever since. Drake is the latest culprit stealing away their serenity, having seemingly jumped on social media personality Snowd4y’s Toronto-ified remix of the record, fittingly titled “Wah Gwan Delilah.”

“Wah gwan, Delilah? Know I’m late ’cause there’s bare traffic/I just show my dog your ‘Gram/He said he knows a man that slapped it, I’m so cheesed/Your “mademoiselle” nights are geeked, I’m bent lowkey,” Drake raps on his guest verse, delivered in an exaggerated Jamaican accent. “Wah gwan, Delilah? Double date me if you like me/Brought my cro’nem for your bestie/Sorry, he’s wearin’ a shiesty, he’s not beat/It’s just too smokey in these streets/You’re looking sweet.”

“Wah Gwan Delilah” surfaced late in the evening on Snowd4y’s SoundCloud, marking the Toronto native’s musical debut. The audio post has already amassed 232,000 streams. In the comments, users are debating whether the song is proof that Drake is incredibly unbothered following his recent rap beef with Kendrick Lamar, or if it’s definitive evidence that he was absolutely washed in their battle.

The song was initially assumed to have been created with AI technology, but the rapper himself seemed to confirm (or, at minimum, endorse) his involvement when he posted it to his Instagram Story. “@Snowd4y wake up the city,” Drake wrote.

A rep for Drake did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

If real, it marks his second music release since the dust settled around himself and Lamar. Last week, Drake appeared on “U My Everything” from Sexyy Red’s In Sexyy We Trust. Tay Keith produced the record, but Metro Boomin earned a credit on it because Drake raps over a snippet from “BBL Drizzy,” the beat the producer made to humiliate him.

“I guess that happened this past week,” Keith recently told Rolling Stone about Drake’s appearance on the record, adding that he didn’t have anything to do with the “BBL” sample. “When it comes to Sexyy and Drake, they got they own chemistry, and I got relationships with both of them, so it just kind of all made sense.”
