4Batz reportedly signed with Drake's independent record label OVO Sound

In March, Billboard revealed that 4Batz, aged 20, signed with Drizzy's Canadian independent record label OVO Sound after his track act ii: date @ 8 went viral, debuting on the Hot 100 at No. 77 in January. In an interview with Billboard, the singer elucidated the meaning behind the viral song.

"The track was [made] more for the females. Nowadays, R&B is quote-unquote toxic. It’s a lot of fake toxicity going on. I don’t know about that toxicity. My momma raised me in a way like, ‘You love a girl, you do this. You open the door for her.’ I’m big on that, so that one was specifically for the females," he said.

Regarding inquiries about the specifics of the singer's OVO deal, 4Batz's attorney, Matt Buser, refused to answer. Instead, he highlighted that the singer "made a calculated decision to creatively collaborate with one of the most iconic artists ever."

"The positive energy and overall support from Team Drake/OVO was a driving factor in getting this song released. We are grateful for their involvement and are excited to see what the future holds as a result of this epic creative and business move," he added.

However, according to HipHop DX, U Made Me A St4r was released through Gamma, a record label founded by former Apple exec Larry Jackson and record executive Ike Youssefin in 2023, not OVO Sound.

The 11-track mixtape reportedly did not feature the Drake remix, but instead had a remix of act iii: on god? (she like) featuring Kanye, another contender in Drake's ever-growing list of rivals.
