Drake shouts out Richmond rapper as "forever one of my idols"

• "Forever one of my idols," wrote the singer, who is globally the third most-listened-to artist on Spotify.

Catch up fast: Before Drake blew up, he collaborated with F on multiple tracks — including "A.M. 2 P.M." "Number 15" and "Money" — and had him on the original version of "Forever."

• Complex listed F, who was once an undefeated champion on 106 & Park's Freestyle Fridays, as one of the most underrated new rappers in 2010.
• That same year, Drake performed at VCU Homecoming.
