Honourary Dipset member Drake posts photos with Jim Jones & shares a poem about manifesting his success

Drake seems to found some inspiration from a recent trip to Miami. After linking with Jim Jones in the Magic City a couple of days ago, Drake posted a picture of the pair along with a new poem reflecting on his rise to success.

One day I will tell the masses the story of how I manifested this whole thing while working on myself and a million other things
I left nothing I cared about behind
Not a person
Not a concept
Not a cent
No lie
When I closed my eyes and pictured myself on my way I would see all of us going
And so we went…
And went
And went
Till the records were all broken and the rules were fully bent
The 100’s smell like maple syrup so my closet has a scent
And the Rolexes are to remind myself I’ve done this time and time again

Jones responded to the post shortly after in the comments, “Men of respect mafia rules a toast to th last ones left.”

Drake has known to be a Dipset fan since early on in his career, and earlier this year the Harlem crew declared the Toronto star as an honourary fifth member of the group. And during a recent press run for his new solo project (and the 20th anniversary of the iconic Diplomat’s album, Diplomatic Immunity), Jones declared to Complex that he considered Drake as “the greatest of all time,” explaining that “the greatest of all time, it’s a big statement, and the relevancy that he keeps showing year after year, hit after hit, record after record.”
