Kevin Durant had privilege to have Drake's unreleased songs and felt envious after the album launch: "I was just mad jealous that everybody is up on the wave that I've been up for"

Kevin Durant is one of the greatest players in the NBA. He has millions of fans from all around the world. One of his biggest fans is Drake, who is also one of his close friends.

Drake and KD have been seen together many times. Even though the Canadian rapper is a fan of the Toronto Raptors, he is close with many other teams and players.

The Brooklyn Nets forward recently spoke about Drake on "The ETCs Podcast."

"I had like two songs, for like a month, a month and a half, two months," Durant said. "Then once it dropped, I was just mad jealous that everybody is up on the wave that I've been up for."

The two-time NBA champion was talking about the "Her Loss" album by Drake and 21 Savage. The album was released on November 4, 2022, yet Kevin Durant was able to hear it long before that.

Drake keeps getting better

Durant praised Drake for always releasing great music. He spoke about Drake's previous albums, like "Views" and "Take Care," and spoke about how good they were.

However, the 36-year-old artist keeps growing, which is surprising for someone who is considered the best by many fans.

"The music is so incredible, and you can see the growth, and even that's crazy for somebody that we consider the best ever, for him to keep growing," KD pointed out on the podcast.
