Central Cee has worked hard to get himself to the brink of stardom, but, like many artists, he received a boost from Drake along the way. However, the 26-year-old artist recently explained why he liked the fact that the Toronto superstar wasn’t featured on his debut album Can’t Rush Greatness.

Central Cee has secured this week’s No. 1 on the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart with his debut LP Can’t Rush Greatness (Jan. 31). The west London rapper outsold the rest of the top five combined to reach the summit; this album gives him his second chart-topper following 2023’s mixtape 23.
