Langley has shown her appreciation for Drake, posting a TikTok video of herself lip-syncing to his "HYFR" and collaborating with BigXthaPlug in 2025.
Langley has also had a top 40 hit with Koe Wetzel's "Jaded" on the Billboard Hot 100. Langley resumes her Dandelion Tour in New Jersey on Sept. 10. Meanwhile, Drake appeared to shift focus from his ICEMAN persona and hinted at an upcoming project titled Fear of Missing Out.
