Central Cee says Drake makes him feel broke as duo expands collaborations ahead of ICEMAN rollout

Central Cee jokes that Drake’s wealth dwarfs his own

Central Cee offered a humorous take on his financial perspective during a recent interview with Rambo Is Talking. When asked to recall a time he felt “broke” around someone else, the U.K. rapper admitted that being in Drake’s presence can make him feel noticeably small by comparison.

Cee said he generally surrounds himself with high-achieving individuals, but added that this feeling doesn’t usually come from other rappers. “Obviously, around Drake, I feel like a little fish. He’s gone,” he joked, suggesting that Drake’s wealth and influence operate on a completely different level. He went on to say that he often finds himself around billionaires aligned with Drake—people who “own hospitals and mad things”—which further widens the gap in lifestyle and resources.

The conversation arrives shortly after the release of “Which One,” Central Cee’s latest collaboration with Drake, which may appear on Drake’s upcoming album ICEMAN. Cee recently appeared on one of Drake’s livestreams tied to the project, but the final tracklist remains unconfirmed as speculation continues around the album’s direction.

Their partnership has grown steadily over the past few years. In addition to “Which One,” the pair previously performed an “On the Radar” freestyle together, and an unreleased track known among fans as “Triumph Tower” has circulated online. That leak sparked renewed discussions about reference tracks and ghostwriting, though neither artist has publicly addressed the chatter.

As Central Cee continues to rise and Drake maintains his position as one of global music’s most commercially dominant figures, the two appear poised to keep collaborating. Cee joked that perhaps one day both artists will feel like “equally big fish on either side of the pond.”
