Nelly Furtado Reveals Why She Rejected Offer To Perform With Drake
In a recent interview, Nelly Furtado opened up about her decision to reject an offer to perform with Drake. The “Turn Off the Light” singer explained that she was hesitant to collaborate with the rapper due to his explicit lyrics.
Furtado stated, “I’m a mother, I’m a conscious human being, and I have a responsibility to be aware of the environment I’m putting my child in. I don’t want my child to grow up and be confused or feel embarrassed by my association with certain things.”
The singer also expressed her concerns about the impact that being associated with the world of hip-hop could have on her music and image. “If I start to associate myself with people who are not in my lane, it can be confusing to my audience,” she explained.
Furtado ultimately decided to turn down the offer and focus on her own musical projects, stating, “I have to be true to myself and my art, and I have to make decisions that are in alignment with my values and my goals.”
