Cordae stopped by “We Playin’ Spades” this week for a real and refreshing convo with Courtney Bee and Nick Cannon, where he dropped gems about music, family, and his grind in the game.
💬 Cordae Talks Fatherhood & His Hustle
Cordae shared what life’s been like stepping into fatherhood, and how it’s only made him work harder. He explained that he’s always had a strong work ethic — and prides himself on never paying for a feature, proving everything he’s achieved has come from respect and talent, not clout or cash.
🙌 His Dream Collab with Eminem Came True
When Nick Cannon asked which collaboration caught him off guard the most, Cordae didn’t hesitate:
“I might not be saying it to the best person, but… Eminem.”
Cordae shared how shocked — and grateful — he was to get a co-sign from Slim Shady himself.
“That was definitely surprising. He was showing me a bunch of love… He reached out personally and was like, ‘Yo, I think you’re dope. I want you on a song. Let’s work.’”
🔥 Nick Cannon Reflects on Em & Rap Respect
Even Nick Cannon, who famously had beef with Em in the past, chimed in:
“I love Eminem. I don’t know why people hate him… He’s a granddaddy now. He loves MCs who can really spit — that’s why he rocks with you.”
Cordae’s story just goes to show — when your pen is strong and your passion is real, legends take notice.
