Drake Confirms Fans’ Speculation That ‘Her Loss’ Is A Part Of A Trilogy

Drake has revealed that his latest album, Her Loss, is actually a part of a trilogy.

During a recent interview, Drake announced that his joint album with 21 Savage serves as the conclusion of a three-part series following 2021’s Certified Lover Boy and Honestly, Nevermind, which dropped in June.

The Canadian rapper said,

“We got CLB, Certified Lover Boy, that was like the, you know, ‘I’m trying my best to make her love [me], I’m chasing you. And then Honestly, Nevermind is the realization that maybe that lifestyle is not for me.”

He continued,

“Then Her Loss is like ‘No Pigeons.’ Remember when they dropped ‘No Pigeons’ when they had ‘No Scrubs’ out?”

Drake also said he believes Her Loss is among the top five albums of his career, and arguably even belongs in his top three. He said,

“[Her Loss] is one of the greatest albums I ever made in my life. I said the other day, I think this is a clear entry into my top five of my catalog — if not, top three.”
