“I was just sleeping onna floor, n now I’m onna phone wit ye yall n-ggas can’t tell me nun,” he wrote in his caption while reflecting on his rapid rise.

Timbaland previously co-signed 4Batz earlier this month, posting a video of him reacting to and praising “act ii: date @ 8.”

The veteran producer then suggested that Drake should hop on a remix of the song.
“I’m telling you now, The Boy get on this, it’s outta here,” he said. “It’s already outta here. This thing right here. And y’all know who The Boy is.”

He added: “Oh, Batz, you gotta get — oh, the remix gon’ be stupid. Y’all, man.”
Drake was seemingly receptive to Timbo’s suggestion, with the Toronto rapper liking an Instagram post from Say Cheese TV about a potential collaboration between them.
4Batz has also earned the approval of R&B superstar SZA, who showed love in the comments section of one of his Instagram videos.
“Too hard,” she commented on a video of his On the Block performance of “act ii: date @ 8,” which captures the intriguing juxtaposition between his ski mask-clad appearance and airy, high-pitched voice.
