Mr. Hotspot Explains What It Will Take To Clear Sample For Drake And Lil Yachty’s “Super Soak”
The internet has been eating up “Super Soak,” a recently leaked song by Drake and Lil Yachty, but it hasn’t been officially released due to a sample clearance issue. Mr. Hotspot, whose “Goodness Gracious” is sampled on the record, revealed what it will take for him to allow the track to hit DSPs.
“We recorded them a clean reference,” he said during his TikTok Live. “We sent that in to them so hopefully they re-record the clean reference and we come out with the clean ‘Goodness Gracious’ all together. It’s a process but it’ll be good for both of their brands like that and I’m blessed to work with children so we just gotta make it clean for them.”
The internet comedian and artist recently underwent a religious conversion and claimed he doesn’t want children to get in trouble for singing along to a record with explicit language. “We ain’t trying to hold them back from nothing but we just need the morals correct, that’s all,” he asserted.
Kai Cenat played the track during one of his streams and internet users quickly ripped the audio for fans to have at their fingertips. Lil Yachty appeared on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast and explained why the song hasn’t officially come out. “He went down, like, a Christian path,” Lil Boat said, also revealing Mr. Hotspot wasn’t interested in getting money for the song. As a result of this, he let Cenat leak the track since more wasn’t going to come from it.
“I don’t think we got into money. He was like, ‘No.’ It was crazy. Everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?'” Yachty claimed that he and the Toronto superstar could still profit from the track without Hotspot clearing its DSP release by performing it at shows. The “Strike (Holster)” rapper received a lot of backlash for leaking the song and admitting he did so despite knowing Hotspot had religious reasons for prohibiting its official release.
“Super Soak,” despite being an unofficial release, marks the latest collaboration between Drake and Lil Yachty. In October, they linked up on “Another Late Night” from the 6 God’s LP For All The Dogs. They previously collaborated on “Oprah’s Bank Account” in 2020, which also featured DaBaby.
