Future Says He Inspired Drake's "Started From The Bottom"

Future says Drake gave him a present for playing a role in the creation of "Started From the Bottom." He also says that he is working with Drizzy, Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus.

Future recently said that he played a role in the creation of Drake's "Started from the Bottom."  

"When I was in the studio, when [Drake] made the record, he was in the studio session with me," Future told Los Angeles, California radio station Power 106. "That's when I had 'Chosen One.' So I was like, 'When you make it from the bottom, you the chosen one.' So, when we was in the studio, Drake came by the studio and I always tell my engineer, ‘Start it from the bottom.’ So when I said, ‘Start it from the bottom,’ [Drake] thought I was talking about the song [‘Chosen One.’]”

According to Future, Drake was grateful for the inspiration. 

“[Drake] bought me a bottle of Louis XIII [de Remy Martin Grande Champagne Cognac] that I never opened up because of this story," Future said. "I was like, ‘Man I don’t want a bottle. I need publishing.’ But Drake, that’s the homie. He was like, ‘Man, start it from the bottom, it stayed on my mind. I instantly got in with the driver and told him to put the CD in. I already had the beat and I just started saying, ‘Started from the bottom, now we here.’ 

"I was like, 'Man, why you didn’t tell me in the studio?'" Future continued. "That’s the first time I ever told somebody that story on the air, in the public. I’m not doing it for the publicity, just being honest."
