Rap sensation, Drake, had made an Instagram post, that hinted at a brewing collaboration with the seven-time world champion. Lewis Hamilton has expressed his love for music previously. He even shared that he had written a few songs that never saw the light of day. As the posts emerged, could it be that the seven-time champ merged forces with the pop star Drake or plans to do so?

Lewis was once reported stating, “A collaboration with Drake is on the cards… We will release something at some point but I’m just recording for fun at the moment.”

Drake in the year of 2016 posted a solo picture of the seven-time champion with a caption that read, “@lewishamilton Roots x OVO collab.”

Hamilton didn’t wait long before he posted a picture of himself in the Hot-Line bling singer’s hometown. The caption read, “Hot up in the 6 right now…”

Lewis Hamilton has always been an inspiring entity. He has invested and wants to indulge in fields beyond motor racing. Were the hints about their collaboration just playful jokes, or did they hold any truth? Only time would tell. Hamilton has also invested in other fields like fashion, as he owns his own clothing line in collaboration with international artists. He also owns an NFL team and is currently making a Hollywood movie.

Yet another project in the pipeline for Dawn Apollo Films is a documentary of the 37-year-old’s life. This will involve his career choices and his life journey. The film is said to release at the end of 2023 or early in the year 2024.

Hamilton explains that most sports entities who’ve been friends have told him that once you retire from your sport, the world comes crashing down. He said that most of them never invested in learning any other crafts or found things outside of the sport they were involved in. Hence making their lives harder as they moved on from that sport.
