Drake & Erykah Badu 'Awkward' Collaboration: 'Hotline Bling' Remix Sparks Mixtape Romance?

Renowned songstress Erykah Badu just released an awesome new remix to Drake's hit tune, "Hotline Bling." Back in August, the Baduizm superstar even tweeted about working alongside the YMCMB rapper - and fans are definitely impressed!

Badu rarely shares updates on Instagram, but her latest post includes this message:

HOTLINE BLING BUT U CAINT USE MY PHONE MIX’ by Erykah-She lLL- Badu. Link in bio.

How does the 44-year-old "Window Seat" crooner's version compare to Drizzy's?

Badu initially made this rather amusing obersvation about the 6 God emcee's bizarre studio edicate:

@fatbellybella: "i love toronto. hanging with my lil brother, drake. he's such a gentleman, but i find it strange he doesn't look me in the eye when we talk..."

Ha.

Badu makes it a point to deem Drake her "brother." Obviously, no romantic connection exists between the two (which is probably a big relief for rumored girlfriend, Serena Williams).

Meanwhile, her #Hotline release continues trending online:

@_heyPUSS: "Erykah Badu's cover of Hotline Bling is oh so perfect."

@tshiney: "SLAYYYY! (is that still a thing?) YASS! Erykah Badu, you glorious woman."

@DvstinElijah: "Erykah Badu's Hotline Bling remix made me erect."

@justcordell: "The last 2 minutes of Erykah Badu's version of 'Hotline Bling' >>>>>>>>." 

@iamjoshuabull: "Friends and countrymen. I give you, Erykah Badu. So good." 

@Shaminizzle: "Yo if u haven't heard the @Erykah Badu #HotlineBling yet go find it and listen now. She killed it..."

@Ninoxxbaby: "Erykah Badu the illest."

@TODJacks: "OMG my hotline gonna be blinging all weekend!!! #ErykahBadu." 

As the popular gossip webloid bossip.com points out, Badu's son Seven (fathered by Outkast singer, Andre 3000) helped re-write the fresh track. Pretty cool!

Badu's still working on her highly-anticipated 2015 mixtape But U Can't Use My Phone.
