No expectations lead to no disappointments

There’s no question that fans around the world were more than happy to find Nothing Was The Same hit the internet early this past Sunday night. With that being said, Drake was prepared for it, and maybe more so than others.

In an interview with MTV on the night of the MTV Video Music Awards, the Canadian rapper stated, “More than September 24th, I’m just excited for whenever people get the music, cause obviously that’ll, unfortunately, come out before the album drops.”

In regards to album sales, Drizzy simply quoted some of the best advice he ever received:

“No expectations lead to no disappointments.”

“I have no expectations,” Drake said. “The numbers, the sales, it’s cool. I’m sure I’ll get into it on the day, like, ‘how much did we sell,’ tryna figure it out. Aside from that I’m just excited for people to hear the full body of work, it’s been a long-time in the making, it’s been about a year and a half.”

Despite the leak,  people still anticipate the album doing well. Drake is one of the few artists in any genre of music that has that sort reach and selling power; we’ll just have to wait and see.
