And now I\u2019m like, \u2018Are you trying to sabotage me?\u2019 I know that\u2019s not true. I literally know that\u2019s not true, but that\u2019s how bad I feel about my first draft. When things come from an effortless space, I almost can\u2019t enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, Drake\u2019s judgment proved sound. \u201cSlime You Out\u201d debuted atop the Hot 100, giving SZA her second No. 1 hit (after \u201cKill Bill,\u201d which topped the <em>Billboard<\/em> chart in April). The track gave Drake his 12th No. 1 song. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/drake-ties-michael-jacksons-record-for-billboard-hot-100-no-1s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earned his 13th<\/a> when<em> For All the Dogs<\/em>, the album from which \u201cSlime You Out\u201d came, dropped on October 6.
