Zane Lowe has shot down the rumor circulating that he hinted about Frank Ocean making an appearance on Drake’s For All The Dogs. Lowe addressed the reports in a post on Twitter, Tuesday afternoon.
“100% untrue. Never said it," Lowe wrote in response to a viral tweet sharing the misinformation. "Haven’t even been on radio for the last two weeks." In the since-deleted report, a user falsely quoted Lowe as saying that one guest contribution on For All The Dogs is “industry-shaking, never-done-before,” and the “feature of dreams.” They also said that Lowe hinted at it being Frank Ocean by not-so-subtly playing the Blonde track, "Nikes," afterward.

Zane Lowe Shuts Down Rumors
As for word from Drake himself, he noted that For All The Dogs is just "weeks" away during a concert in July. He told the audience in New York City: “Make new friends. If you drink, drink some liquor. If you smoke, smoke some weed. And if you like somebody, like my dad says, keep f*cking. I will be back soon. I have an album dropping for you in, like, two weeks or some sh*t. But until then, just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you. Everything I do is for you. Every time I step in that booth, I hope I make you proud.”
