Morgan Wallen & Drake Collab: Is “Wrong Way” Finally Dropping?

Morgan Wallen returned to the studio just weeks before his Still The Problem Tour kicks off April 10. Fans believe that means one thing: a deluxe edition of I’m the Problem is coming, and with it, the long-rumored full release of “Wrong Way” the song many think features Drake. Here’s every confirmed fact, every credible clue, and why this feels closer than ever.

Back in the Studio Right Before Tour Launch

Morgan Wallen doesn’t post casually. So when photos hit showing him back in the recording studio weeks before his Still The Problem Tour opens fans noticed immediately.

The tour begins April 10 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. That’s a Friday. New music drops on Fridays. And the tour is literally named Still The Problem  which is the exact title fans have expected for a deluxe version of his 2025 album I’m the Problem since the moment he announced it.

None of this is a coincidence. Wallen has already released two standalone singles the “Miami (Remix)” with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, and a cover of Nothing But Thieves’ “Graveyard Whistling.” Those are textbook pre-deluxe singles. The math adds up cleanly.

How Wallen and Drake Actually Became Friends

The story starts in 2023. Drake cast Wallen in the music video for “You Broke My Heart” an unexpected, left-field move that nobody saw coming. Wallen’s manager confirmed afterward that the two exchanged numbers on set and stayed in touch.

What followed has been a slow, very public friendship. Drake played “Last Night” on a high-profile livestream and gave Wallen a direct shout-out. Last September, Drake performed in Berlin wearing a custom Morgan Wallen x Big Loud jersey the kind of move that artists don’t make casually. Then during the 2025 I’m the Problem Tour, Drake showed up at NRG Stadium in Houston for Wallen’s walk-out.

That Houston moment sealed it for most fans. These two are not just friendly acquaintances. There’s something being built here — and it’s being built slowly and deliberately.

Track 6. “Interlude.” 44 Seconds. The Clues Hidden in Plain Sight

On a 37-song album, “Interlude” sticks out. It’s 44 seconds long short even for an interlude and it sits at track No. 6. Both of those details have a clear reading for anyone familiar with Drake.

He’s the self-proclaimed “6 God.” The number references Toronto’s “6ix” identity it’s in his nickname, his ad-libs, the original title of his 2016 album Views from the 6. Placing a mysterious, Drake-coded interlude at track six on a 37-song album doesn’t feel like an accident. It feels like a flag planted in the open.

Songwriter Blake Pendergrass confirmed in a recent interview that “Interlude” isn’t a standalone piece. It’s a 44-second excerpt from a fully formed song called “Wrong Way.” The full version exists. It just hasn’t come out. The fan speculation around a deluxe release has been pointing at this song for months.

Then Wallen replied to a fan on X asking for the full version. One word: “Noted.” He’s not a regular social media user. That post was a signal.

Why “Wrong Way” Sounds Written For Drake

“Interlude” is the most sonically unusual track on I’m the Problem. It has a hazy, trap-inflected, neo-R&B texture that doesn’t match the rest of the album’s country-leaning sound. It sounds like the Drake that made Take Care and Nothing Was The Same.

Wallen has never shied away from genre crossover his tracks with Post Malone, Diplo, and Lil Wayne show he’s comfortable in that space. But “Wrong Way” goes further than any of those. It sounds purposeful. Like a song built for a specific voice.

For context on what’s already at stake: I’m the Problem spent 13 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making Wallen the first artist to land three consecutive albums with at least 10 weeks each at the top. A Drake feature on the deluxe would push that story to a completely new level.

The Instagram Comment That Sent Fans Into Overdrive

Last August, Drake posted a photo of what appeared to be unofficial merchandise. The shirt read: “I Miss You A Little Bit More Tonight.” Wallen commented on the post: “Jersey is hardbody.”

Wallen almost never comments on other people’s posts. Fans read it as a lyric drop a line from their rumored collaboration, casually slipped into a comment section. It may be a stretch. But Wallen knows exactly how closely his fanbase watches him. Nothing he posts is accidental.

Why April 10 Keeps Coming Up

The Still The Problem Tour opens in Minneapolis on April 10 with two nights at U.S. Bank Stadium. That date is Friday. New music drops on Fridays. The tour name mirrors the expected deluxe album title. Wallen has been in the studio. Two pre-deluxe singles are already out.

It’s the cleanest possible setup for a surprise release tied to a tour launch. If Wallen is going to drop Still the Problem as a deluxe edition, doing it the morning of Night 1 in Minneapolis with 50,000 fans in the building that evening is exactly the move you’d make.

Fans planning to attend that weekend should also check the Still The Problem Tour setlist breakdown to see whether “Interlude” appears live and whether it gets performed in an extended form. That would tell you everything.

What’s confirmed: “Interlude” is a 44-second clip from a full song called “Wrong Way.” Wallen and Drake are friends. Drake has appeared at a Wallen show. Both have dropped social media hints. Wallen is currently in the studio. The Still The Problem Tour opens April 10.

What’s not confirmed: Drake features on “Wrong Way.” A deluxe album drops April 10. Any collaboration is officially announced. Nothing from Big Loud/Mercury Records or Drake’s team has been confirmed.

The pieces fit together better than most rumors do. Whether it arrives April 10 or later in 2026, this one feels like a matter of when, not if.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Morgan Wallen and Drake collaboration?

It’s believed to be “Wrong Way” the complete song behind the 44-second “Interlude” on I’m the Problem, confirmed by songwriter Blake Pendergrass. Fans think Drake features on it based on the track’s placement at No. 6 and a trail of social media hints from both artists.

When could the Morgan Wallen and Drake song come out?

April 10, 2026 is the date most fans are watching a Friday and the opening night of the Still The Problem Tour in Minneapolis. Wallen’s recent return to the studio and the two pre-released singles make a deluxe drop on that date look increasingly likely.

How did Morgan Wallen and Drake become friends?

It started with Wallen’s cameo in Drake’s 2023 “You Broke My Heart” video. They exchanged numbers on set, and Drake later showed up for Wallen’s Houston walk-out during the 2025 I’m the Problem Tour  making their friendship very public.

Could the collab land on Drake’s album instead of Wallen’s?

It’s possible. Drake has been building toward a new solo project reportedly called Iceman. A Wallen feature there would make commercial sense and would give Drake a strong shot at the chart record he’s been chasing.
